Cardiac rehab for heart-rate problems in Long COVID
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program can improve exercise tolerance in people with Long COVID who have an abnormal heart-rate response during activity. It may help your body handle exertion better, especially if you feel limited when you try to exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older.
- You had a documented COVID-19 test that was positive (swab PCR/antigen or antibody proof).
- You have Long COVID symptoms that have lasted at least 90 days after your symptoms started.
- Your exercise capacity is reduced (for example, you feel you can’t do as much as before COVID).
- You can actively participate in supervised rehab at UCSF and attend at least 12 in-person sessions (if you’re in the rehab group).
- You agree to take part in the LIINC study (and the heart-related part, if you aren’t already).

This study tests a program of rehab exercises and memory/thinking activities, along with coaching messages, to help people with Long Covid feel better and function in daily life. You may qualify if you had Covid, have high blood pressure or diabetes, and still have symptoms like fatigue or trouble thinking for at least 4 weeks.
This trial tests a breathing exercise called resonance breathing training to help people with long COVID who have damage to their heart muscle. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free technique can improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
This study tests if a physical therapy program can help improve your body's automatic functions (like heart rate) and reduce inflammation caused by Long COVID. It may help you feel better and recover more fully.
This trial tests a program to help people with ongoing fatigue, shortness of breath, or chest pain after COVID-19. It uses a personalized plan to improve your daily function and heart health.
This study tests whether a structured breathing control technique can improve symptoms of long COVID. It may help by training how you breathe, but you must meet specific health and medication criteria to join.
This trial tests a coach-supported, phone-based rehabilitation program that includes high-intensity interval-style exercise for people recovering from COVID-19 after a hospital stay. It may help improve breathing, strength, and walking by providing structured exercise at home.
