NCT ID NCT07636460
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether specially designed educational videos, sent through a mobile messaging app, could help people with coronary heart disease improve their fitness and heart health knowledge during a 12-week home-based cardiac rehabilitation program. Twenty-one participants in Malaysia received either the new videos or standard educational materials. Researchers measured changes in exercise capacity, blood sugar, and cholesterol to see if the videos made a difference.
