New treatment option for Coronary Artery Disease
Official title Time Restricted Eating and Cardiac Rehabilitation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05075317
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study will use a form of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating (TRE) where individuals consume ad libitum energy intake within a set window of time, commonly 8 hours, which induces a fasting window of 16 hours per day (i.e., 16:8 TRE). TRE could be an effective addition to cardiac rehabilitation as it has demonstrated cardiovascular health benefits and potential for synergy when combined with exercise training.
