Exercise after heart stent: with or without Delorme technique
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of cardiac rehab exercises for people age 70+ who recently got their first heart stent. It aims to see if adding progressive resisted exercises (the Delorme technique) helps improve breathing and recovery.

This study tests whether electrical stimulation applied to your breathing muscles and abdomen can improve heart and lung function after you've had a stent placed in a heart artery. The goal is to help you breathe better and exercise more easily during recovery.
This study tests whether Baduanjin—a gentle, traditional Chinese movement exercise—helps people recover better after coronary stent placement (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). Researchers want to see if this exercise improves heart health and quality of life.
This trial looks at whether a cardiac rehab program can help your heart muscle recover and get stronger after a heart attack treated with a stent. If you are stable enough to exercise, rehab might improve your heart's pumping ability.
This trial tests a home-based program that uses a smartphone app (digital therapy) to help people with high-risk heart conditions after a stent procedure. The goal is to improve recovery through exercise and lifestyle support, all from home.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program can improve aerobic fitness in older adults who have recently had a heart attack or a stent procedure. If you are 65 or older and able to walk, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if gentle arm exercises with a special blood pressure cuff can help men recover their lung function after heart surgery. It may be an option for those who are stable and ready to follow simple instructions.
