Early mobilization after pacemaker or ICD implant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether getting up and moving earlier after a pacemaker or defibrillator implant is safe and helpful. If you are getting a new device for the first time, you may be able to join.

This study tests a new alert system for people with pacemakers or defibrillators. It sends early warnings to your care team when the device detects a problem, so they can help you faster—without extra visits.
This trial studies whether implanting a defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack can lower the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with weaker heart pumping and symptoms of heart failure. It compares strategies around defibrillator implantation, aiming to improve safety and outcomes.
This trial studies a new rehabilitation program for people who are getting a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted or upgraded. The goal is to help you recover faster and better after the procedure.
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
This trial is testing whether starting gentle movement (early mobilization) soon after a heart-related hospital stay can help patients recover faster. It includes both healthcare workers who care for these patients and the patients themselves.
This study looks at whether starting gentle movement early during an intensive care unit (ICU) stay after surgery helps patients recover better. If you are recovering from surgery in the ICU, this might be a chance to improve your recovery.
