The programme includes exercise training, self-care, relaxation, risk factor management, psychological support, medical therapy education, and healthy lifestyle guidance. The intervention materials were introduced during the hospital stay, followed by weekly phone calls for 6 weeks after discharge. The programme used different exercise pathways for myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, and percutaneous coronary intervention. The Bangla Heart Manual was developed from the UK Heart Manual through stakeholder participation and cultural adaptation for Bangladeshi patients and caregivers. The Bangla Heart Manual is a 6-week home-based cardiac rehabilitation programme facilitated by healthcare professionals.
