Transition to cardiac rehabilitation for veterans with heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a program that helps Veterans with heart disease start cardiac rehabilitation (a supervised exercise and education program to improve heart health) while they are still in the hospital. It aims to overcome barriers like other health problems and frailty, and may add up to 2 days to your hospital stay.
