About this trial

A cross-sectional study of 323 cardiac patients aged 40 to 60 will be carried out at PNS Shifa and the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases. Data will be gathered using surveys and evaluated with SPSS software. The results are likely to show considerable differences in barrier frequency across demographic groups, offering insights into targeted treatments.

Understanding these limitations is critical for establishing successful physical activity regimens, improving heart health, and, eventually, lowering rehospitalization rates. The findings will help to develop specific approaches to overcome these challenges and encourage regular physical exercise among cardiac patients.

Objectives:

1. To identify and categorize the specific barriers to physical activity faced by cardiac patients. 2. To analyze how these barriers differ among various demographic groups (e.g., age, gender). 3. To examine how barriers to physical activity vary according to clinical characteristics.

Methodology:

Using a cross sectional study design, data data was collected from NICVD hospital and PNS shifa hospital by providing questionnaires to patient having cardiac disease. The questionnaires comprises of close ended questions.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

1. Heart patients who have been diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition for more than six months.

Disqualifiers

Existence of musculoskeletal disorders that might affect their physical activity levels.

Neurological conditions that could hinder exercise participation or influence responses to surveys.

Chronic illnesses such as diabetes or irritable bowel syndrome that could interfere with the barriers evaluated in the study.
