Sleep behaviour and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention during cardiac rehabilitation: protocol for a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Most patients with coronary heart disease experience sleep disturbances and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), but their relationship during cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is still unclear. This article details a protocol for the study of sleep trajectory in patients with coronary heart disease during CR and the relationship between sleep and CRF. A better understanding of the relationship between sleep and CRF on patient outcomes can improve sleep management strategies.

Methods and analysis

This is a longitudinal study with a recruitment target of 101 patients after percutaneous cardiac intervention from the Seventh People's Hospital of Shanghai, China. Data collection will include demographic characteristics, medical history, physical examination, blood samplin
