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.
