Rehab for older adults after heart failure with strong pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 60 or older
- Your recent heart ultrasound shows preserved pumping strength (ejection fraction 45% or higher)
- You were in the hospital more than 24 hours for worsening heart failure, or you were diagnosed with heart failure after another hospital stay
- Before this hospital admission, you could do basic daily activities and walk on your own (with or without a walker)
- At enrollment, you can walk 4 meters (about 13 feet), with or without a walker

This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
This study looks at a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. It aims to better understand and classify this condition, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a program for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. It aims to help high-risk patients after they leave the hospital, potentially improving their health and quality of life.
This study tests a cardiac rehabilitation program designed for older adults who have been recently hospitalized for heart failure. The goal is to see if this tailored exercise and support program can improve your recovery, strength, and overall well-being.
This trial tests a structured exercise-based heart rehab program for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF. The goal is to help you feel better and improve your heart health. If you join, you'll be guided through safe exercises and monitored by a team.
