Hot water therapy after a heart attack plus rehab
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether regularly soaking in hot water after a heart attack is safe and helpful, alongside usual exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. If you’ve had a STEMI or non-STEMI heart attack, the study may help answer whether this simple heat therapy improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a heart attack that was either STEMI or non-STEMI.
- You are already joining the usual exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program.
- You are able and willing to give written informed consent.
- You must not already do hot water soaking, sauna, or similar heat therapy regularly.

This study tests if a specific type of exercise training (eccentric exercise, which involves lengthening muscles while under tension) is safe and helpful for people recovering from a heart attack. You may qualify if you're stable enough to start a supervised rehab program.
This study tests a digital app-based program to help people recover after a heart attack. It is designed for patients who had their first heart attack, received a stent, and have some heart muscle weakness — the app may support exercise and lifestyle changes to improve recovery.
This trial tests if exercising in warm thermal water and drinking mineral water can improve heart health in adults over 45. If you have a stable health condition and can do physical activity, this program may help your cardiovascular fitness.
This study tests whether cooling the heart with a cold liquid during a procedure (angioplasty) can help reduce damage after a heart attack. It may be an option for people who arrive at the hospital quickly after a heart attack.
This trial tests a new way to protect the heart during emergency angioplasty by gently cooling the heart with a cold fluid. It may help reduce damage from a heart attack if you are treated within 12 hours.
This trial tests a home-based exercise and support program done through video calls for people who recently had a heart attack or heart surgery. The goal is to help you recover safely and improve your heart health from home.
