Title: Effects of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Functional Capacity and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Brazilian Patients Assisted by Public Health Care: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: The purpose of this trial are to pragmatically investigate whether participation in a comprehensive CR (i.e., exercise with education) program in a Latin American MIC results in better functional capacity, cardiovascular risk factor control, health behavior, disease-related knowledge, depressive symptoms and lower mortality when compared exercise only CR or wait list control.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of MI who has successful revascularization after the symptom onset;
2. Aged 18 years or over and under 80 years;
3. Availability to attend sessions twice a week over a 12-week period;
4. Physical aptitude to participate in a Baduanjin exercise -based cardiac rehabilitation program.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Inability or difficulty to exercise
2. Prior history of practicing Qigong (Taiji or Baduanjin exercise, etc);
3. Presence of unstable angina, detectable myocardial ischemia (at rest or on exertion), significant valvular disease, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;
4. Severe symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA cardiac function class IV or left ventricular ejection fraction≤35%);
5. Severe pulmonary disease, musculoskeletal system diseases, other comorbidities precluding physical activity;
6. Life-threatening diseases with limited life expectancy \<1 year;
7. Pregnant and lactating women;
8. Participation in other clinical trials.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients older than 18 years old
* patients living in the Belo Horizonte area

Exclusion Criteria:

* any comorbid physical or serious mental condition which would interfere with the ability to exercise according to CR clinical practice guidelines (i.e., heart failure with ejection fraction less than 45%, complex ventricular dysrhythmia, advanced dementia, leg amputation, advanced cancer, disabling stroke, Parkinson's or substance dependence), and
* any visual or cognitive condition which would preclude the participant from completing the questionnaires.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients aged 18 years and older having a coronary angiography following a myocardial infarction (ST-elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction), with evidence of coronary artery disease (\>50% blockage of left main or \>70% blockage of ≥1 major cardiac arteries).
* Discharged from the catheterization centre alive, either home or to a local (non-cardiac) hospital
* Patients must be Ontario residents

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients will be excluded if they expire during their hospitalization or if they have cardiogenic shock (Killip Class 4) at the time of their post-MI coronary angiography due to their poor prognosis.(El-Menyar et al., 2012)
* Patients will also be excluded if they require a translator to receive services in English as recorded in the CCN referral form, as it is infeasible to offer the interventions in multiple languages at this stage.
* Patients whose data are not complete and received in time to deliver the first post-procedure intervention will be excluded as they cannot receive the intervention as intended.
* Patients who do not have an Ontario health card number
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients 18 years or older with ischaemic heart disease,
* Who have to undergo elective coronary artery bypass grafting,
* Who speak and understand Danish and
* Who provide a written informed consent will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients will be excluded from the trial:

* Patients at intermediate or high risk to their cardiovascular status according to guidelines,
* Patients with neurological or orthopaedic deficits which prevent training and
* Patients who do not wish to participate.
