Exercise program study for older adults with weaker heart pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new exercise program for people over 65 with heart failure where the heart pumps less efficiently. The goal is to see if tailored exercise is safe and helpful for breathing, energy, and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be able to talk with the study team and sign consent (or have legal permission).
- Be over 65 years old.
- Have “HFrEF” heart failure (weaker pumping): class II–III symptoms and heart pumping under 45% on an echocardiogram.
- Have approval from a cardiologist after they review your records and examine you.
- Blood test: hemoglobin at least 10.0 g/dL.

This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with heart failure. It focuses on people who are currently not very active, aiming to improve symptoms and heart/fitness measures safely.
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 trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
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.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (neuromuscular vs. resistance training) to see which one better improves daily functioning in people with heart failure. If you join, you'll do a supervised exercise routine that may help you feel stronger and more capable in your everyday activities.
