Study name A study of the impact of home‐based cardiac rehabilitation on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
Methods Parallel‐assignment RCT
Participants Adult Chinese patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
Interventions Placebo comparator; control group: routine care; experimental group/interventional group: home‐based cardiac rehabilitation
Outcomes Primary outcomes
  • 6‐minute walk test [Time Frame: 6 weeks, total distance walked in meters during 6 minutes]


Secondary outcomes
  • Number of participants who will die [Time Frame: 6 weeks, 12 months, number of participants who die during the study due to cardiovascular or non‐cardiovascular causes]

  • Number of participants re‐hospitalised [Time Frame: 6 weeks, 12 months, number of participants re‐hospitalised during the study]

  • Number of participants completing home‐based cardiac rehabilitation [Time Frame: 6 weeks, number of participants completing home‐based cardiac rehabilitation]

  • Cardiac function [Time Frame: 12 months, ejection fraction estimated by echocardiography]

  • Aortic valve function [Time Frame: 12 months, aortic valve function estimated by echocardiography]

  • Number of participants injured [Time Frame: 6 weeks, number of participants injured or who die during the course of home‐based cardiac rehabilitation]

  • Time spent performing activities [Time Frame: 6 weeks, 12 months, number of minutes in a typical week that participants spent performing activities]

  • 6‐minute walk test [Time Frame: 12 months, total distance walked in meters during 6 minutes]
