Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart attack and a procedure called angioplasty to open a blocked artery.
- You are 18 to 79 years old.
- You do not have any thinking or memory problems that would make it hard to do the exercises or complete questionnaires.
- You are able to do physical exercise safely.
- You do not have a heart condition like severe thickened heart muscle or a torn artery wall that would make exercise dangerous.
