Handgrip training for coronary artery disease recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple handgrip exercise you can do at home can help people recovering from coronary artery disease. You'll continue your usual cardiac rehab program and add this exercise, which may improve your blood vessel health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can speak, read, and write in English.

- Your cardiac rehab doctor has cleared you for exercise.
- You can use a phone and email for communication.
- You have a home blood pressure monitor.
- You do not have any physical issues that would prevent you from doing handgrip exercises.

This study tests whether a simple handgrip-squeezing exercise program can help lower blood pressure and improve memory in people 65 and older. You'll do these exercises at McMaster University's fitness center, and researchers will track how it affects your blood pressure and thinking skills.
This study tests if a simple handgrip exercise program can help people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). You do not need to be active now, and the exercise can be done at home.
This trial tests if a simple handgrip exercise routine can improve blood pressure and reduce artery hardening in people with high blood pressure. Participants will do the exercise at home and have regular check-ups for up to a year.
This study tests whether doing handgrip exercises (squeezing a device in your hand) can help lower blood pressure. You can join if your blood pressure is on the higher side, you've been on the same medications (if any) for at least 4 months, and you're generally healthy enough to exercise.
This trial uses a smartphone app to guide exercise for people with coronary heart disease who are at low risk of complications. It aims to help you recover safely at home with remote support from doctors.
This trial tests whether guided handgrip (hand strength) exercises can improve health in post-menopausal women who have reduced blood flow to the legs. It may help your circulation and overall function, as long as you can safely do the training and keep your current medications during the study.
