What this Trial Is About
People with coronary heart disease (CHD) often feel more stressed, which can increase the risk of having another heart problem. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a common treatment for those with CHD, focusing on changing lifestyles and managing the disease. However, it often does not address stress management adequately. There is also a lack of psychological therapy and involvement of mental health professionals in online CR programs. Because traditional CR programs have low participation rates, online platforms are becoming more popular for providing rehabilitation support. This is important because more than half of people with CHD report high stress levels, which can cause or worsen heart problems. To address this issue, the proposed study will test an online CR program that includes mindfulness to help manage stress for CHD patients.
