Intensive vs traditional cardiac rehab study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of cardiac rehab programs—Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation and traditional rehab—to see which helps reduce inflammation and improve health. If you've had a recent heart event or have stable heart failure, this trial might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a recent heart event, such as a heart attack, stent, bypass surgery, or valve repair/replacement.
- You have stable heart failure with a reduced pumping ability (ejection fraction of 35% or less).
- You are eligible for an Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) program at a participating center.
- You are expected to live at least 2 more years.
- You do not have any other serious health problems that would prevent you from taking part.

This study tests a heart rehab program designed just for women. It aims to help women stick with rehab, get stronger, and feel better. You may be eligible if you have a stable heart condition and are ready to exercise.
This study tests a faster, more intensive cardiac rehab program for people with heart failure. It aims to improve heart function and recovery after a heart-related hospital stay.
This trial compares core, aerobic, and combined exercise in patients doing phase II cardiac rehab. It aims to find which type works best for heart recovery.
This study tests whether a structured cardiac rehabilitation program improves how well the heart recovers after a heart attack treated with a stent. It may help strengthen your heart and reduce future heart problems.
This study tracks patients with heart disease or heart failure who are in cardiac rehabilitation. The goal is to understand how well these programs work in real life and improve care for future patients.
This study compares two types of supervised exercise programs for people with stable coronary artery disease. It aims to see if short bursts of intense exercise are better than moderate continuous exercise for improving heart health.
