Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which combining exercise and stress management training (SMT) is more effective at improving biomarkers in vulnerable cardiac patients compared to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation alone.

Primary Outcome

A global stress measure (mean rank), was the primary outcome combining the following components at baseline and following treatment: Beck Depression Inventory II, Spielberger Anxiety Inventory-State, General Health Questionnaire, PROMIS Anger Questionnaire, and Perceived Stress Scale. A range from 1 to 147 was present with higher scores suggestive of better function. The change in each individual scaled score is presented in primary outcome 2.
