CAPACITY (Cardiac Amyloidosis and Physical ACtivITY) Study
Start Date
1/22/2024
Completion Date
12/1/2027
Summary
Exercise training in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been associated with an improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life.
Detailed Description
The Atrium Health cardiac rehabilitation program delivers a comprehensive approach to improve cardiac performance including supervised exercise programs and has the ideal infrastructure to offer cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) to all our cancer patients in the future. Currently neither CORE nor cardiac rehabilitation for HFpEF are covered by insurance, and hence the targeting of a higher risk cancer and non-cancer population of cardiac amyloidosis patients to objectively measure the benefits of a supervised exercise program ultimately to expand eligibility to all cancer patients and shape the treatment and payor landscape in the future.
