Exercise Training for Women With Heart Disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training) to see which is better for women with heart disease. You would be assigned randomly to one of the two exercise programs, and the study would last about 6 months.
