Breathing and cycling after heart bypass surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a slow breathing technique (4-7-8 method) with stationary cycling can improve your blood pressure, quality of life, and shortness of breath after heart bypass surgery. It is for people who are recovering well and ready for a supervised exercise program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) without any problems during or after the operation.
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You are in phase 2 of cardiac rehab (a supervised recovery program for your heart).
- You have stable chronic heart failure, no irregular heartbeats, and are able to walk and use a stationary bike.
- You do not have serious health issues like severe kidney disease, uncontrolled diabetes/high blood pressure, recent cancer treatment, or joint problems that limit movement.

This trial tests if a program of aerobic and resistance exercises helps patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a type of heart surgery. You may qualify if you had bypass surgery within the last 12 weeks and are between 40 and 65 years old.
This study looks at how combining aerobic exercise with strength training can help people recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If you had a successful bypass with no complications and are willing to join a heart rehab program, this trial may be a good fit for you.
This study tests special gentle movement methods to help people recover faster after their first heart bypass surgery. It looks at whether these techniques can improve breathing, movement, and overall recovery.
This study tests whether adding arm cycling exercises to standard recovery helps people recover better after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, also known as heart bypass surgery). It is for patients who are stable enough to start moving soon after surgery.
This study compares two types of exercise—elliptical machine workouts and Swiss ball exercises—to help people recover safely after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, which is a common procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. The goal is to see which exercise method works better for improving fitness and heart health during recovery.
