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.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic heart failure.
- Your symptoms and exam findings have been about the same for at least 1 month.

This study compares two types of exercise programs—neuromuscular training and resistance training—to see which helps people with weakened heart function improve their ability to perform daily activities. Both programs are designed to be safe and manageable for people living with heart failure.
This study tests a special exercise program for people with advanced heart failure (NYHA class III or IV) who are afraid to move. The goal is to help you feel better and be more active.
This study tests if a specific type of leg-strengthening exercise (eccentric resistance training) can help people with stable chronic heart failure feel better and move more easily. If you have heart failure and are not in an acute or very severe stage, this might be an option to improve your daily life.
This study tests a home-based physical activity program for people with heart failure. The program is designed to be safe and easy to follow, using a smartphone app to guide you, and may help you feel stronger and more active.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve daily activity and quality of life in people who have both heart failure and advanced kidney disease. It aims to help you feel stronger and function better.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
