Early rehab for acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether starting a tailored exercise and education program early in the hospital can help people with acute heart failure recover faster and feel better. It includes walking, breathing exercises, and support to get you back to daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue when you were admitted to the hospital.
- You can walk about 13 feet (4 meters) with or without a walking aid.
- Your heart failure is not caused by a recent heart attack.
- You do not have severe kidney failure needing dialysis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study helps doctors adjust heart failure medications based on your individual response and biomarkers (blood markers). If your heart isn't pumping well enough and you're not yet on the full recommended dose of heart failure medications, this trial may help optimize your treatment plan.
This trial uses a special ultrasound scoring system to see how well people with a certain type of heart failure (weak heart pumping) are doing. It looks at whether this score can predict how their recovery goes.
This study tests a new outpatient care approach for people with heart failure to help manage symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid buildup. You may be eligible if you are stable enough to attend visits and meet specific heart failure and lab/imaging criteria.
This study tests if adding a special exercise program (called ExCR) to usual care is safe and helps people recover faster while in the hospital for worsening heart failure. It looks at how this exercise affects symptoms, strength, and overall recovery.
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 tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
