Heart exercise test for bypass surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special exercise test to measure heart and lung function in people scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how well patients recover after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
- You are able to perform a cardiopulmonary exercise test (walking on a treadmill or pedaling a bike).
- Your surgery is planned with a full sternotomy (breastbone incision).
- This is your first heart surgery.
- Your surgery is not off-pump (meaning a heart-lung machine will be used).

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 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 tests special breathing and movement exercises to help people recover faster after their first heart bypass surgery. It aims to improve strength and breathing after surgery.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
