Background: Clinical practice guidelines strongly recommend optimal medical therapy (OMT), including lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR), in patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). However, the efficacy and safety of CR in patients with SIHD without revascularization remain unclear.Methods and Results: The Prospective Registry of STable Angina RehabiliTation (Pre-START) study is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, open-label pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CR on health-related quality of life (HRQL), exercise capacity, and clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with SIHD without revascularization. In this study, all patients will undergo guideline-based OMT and are encouraged to have 36 outpatient CR sessions within 5 months after enrollment. The primary endpoint is the change in the Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7 summary score between baseline and the 6-month visit; an improvement of ≥5 points will be defined as a clinically important change. Secondary endpoints include changes in other HRQL scores and exercise capacity between baseline and the 6-month visit, as well as clinical outcomes between enrollment and the 6-month visit.Conclusions: The Pre-START study will provide valuable evidence to elucidate the efficacy and safety of CR in patients with SIHD and indispensable information for a subsequent randomized controlled trial. The study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry (ID: UMIN000045415) on April 1, 2022.
