Effect of Physiotherapist-led Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation in Older Patients With Aortic Stenosis Who Have Undergone TAVI?

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Objective: Primary, to investigate whether participation in PT-X after TAVI can impact physical fitness, physical activity level, and health-related quality of life. Secondary, to study the prevalence of frailty and the number of hospital admissions during the first postoperative year after TAVI. Expected outcome: If patients with AS who have undergone TAVI can improve physical fitness, it could potentially strengthen the evidence and optimize the patient's physical capabilities. Increased access to PT-X and awareness of frailty in these patients could reduce the risk of falls and possibly the number of hospital readmissions. This would decrease healthcare consumption and improve the patient's quality of life.

Treatments
Experimental: Physiotherapist-led exercise based cardiac rehabilitation (PT-X)
PT-X consists of centralcirculatory aerobic exercise and muscular endurance training in an existing PT-X group at Alingsas Hospital in Sweden. The patients will follow an individually tailored exercise program, twice a week for 60 minutes each session over 12 weeks. The physiotherapist guides and progresses the program based on the patient's exercise capacity throughout the intervention. Additionally, two sessions of home-based exercise will be added and recorded in an exercise diary. The exercise programs are prescribed after the patient's individual exercise capacity, with perceived exertion graded 13-17 on Borg's 6-20 scale.
No_intervention: Control group
The patient will continue with their usual activities during the control period
