InterVFast —effectiveness and acceptance of intermittent fasting in cardiac rehabilitation patients: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial

DiscussionCompared to other weight-loss intervention studies, our study addresses patients with coronary heart disease and includes patients ’ acceptance as well as long-term maintenance. It is hypothesized that participation in the InterVfast intervention will improve relevant health outcomes in a sample of cardiac rehabilitation patients and thus constitute a behavioural prevention strategy to reduce the risk of future cardiac events and improve overall health and quality of life.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov DRKS00023983.
