This study looks at whether a mix of aerobic and strength exercises can help you recover better after heart bypass surgery. If you join, you'll get a guided exercise program that may help you regain strength and improve your heart health.
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 compares two exercise programs for people who have recovered from heart bypass surgery. One program involves high-intensity interval training, and the other is a home-based rehabilitation program. The goal is to see which program helps improve recovery and overall health.
This study explores whether adding a type of slow, deep breathing exercise (called Ujjayi Pranayama) to standard care can help patients who have just had heart bypass surgery recover more comfortably. It focuses on reducing rapid breathing and improving overall well-being.
This study tests whether a special program of early exercises and breathing activities helps people recover faster after heart surgery. You would be assigned to either the exercise program or standard care, and the study will track how well your heart and body function after surgery.
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.
