Nordic walking for weight and heart health after a cardiac event
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a nordic walking program helps people with diabetes who are overweight or obese recover after a heart attack or heart procedure. If you had a heart event or stent/bypass in the last 3 months, this program could help you get stronger and manage your weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
