Exercise program for women over 60 with heart failure and muscle weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve your ability to do daily activities and your quality of life. It is for women over 60 with heart failure (HFpEF) and muscle weakness (sarcopenia).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 60 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction)
- You have mild to moderate symptoms (like fatigue or shortness of breath with activity) and feel stable over the past month
- You have signs of muscle weakness or loss (a positive SARC-F screening)
- You are able to do a treadmill or bike test to check your heart and lungs

This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (eccentric, or lengthening, exercises) can help older adults with heart failure who also have muscle loss. It aims to see if the exercise is safe and improves strength and function.
This trial tests a multicomponent training program to improve muscle quality in women over 60. It aims to help maintain strength and function as you age.
This study tests whether a specially designed exercise program can help older adults who are frail or losing muscle strength feel stronger and more independent. The program is run by physical therapists at your usual health center.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older patients (80+) hospitalized for heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help doctors better understand how to care for this specific group.
This study tests if starting a supervised exercise program can help older adults with both atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure called HFpEF feel better and have a better quality of life. You'll be asked to join exercise sessions and have regular check-ins to see how you're doing.
