Breathing exercises to aid recovery after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
