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 trial tests if a program of aerobic and resistance exercises helps patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a type of heart surgery. You may qualify if you had bypass surgery within the last 12 weeks and are between 40 and 65 years old.
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 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.
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 tests whether combining a slow breathing technique (4-7-8 method) with stationary cycling can improve your blood pressure, quality of life, and shortness of breath after heart bypass surgery. It is for people who are recovering well and ready for a supervised exercise program.
