Exercise program for chronic heart failure with confidence building
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific gentle exercise routine (Baduanjin, “eight-silken-movement”) plus skills to build self-confidence can help people with chronic heart failure. It’s meant for people who are stable and can do prescribed exercise testing and sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
