Virtual rehab for frailty after heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based virtual exercise program to help older patients with aortic stenosis regain strength and mobility after a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). It might improve frailty and overall recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 or older (typically) and have aortic stenosis
- You are scheduled to have a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI)
- You are considered frail based on a simple physical test (SPPB < 10)
- You are able to give informed consent and complete the study assessments
- You can attend follow-up visits as required

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how heart mechanics, blood markers, and frailty relate to symptoms and heart measurements in people with aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how disease changes over time.
This trial combines gentle exercise with virtual reality (a fun, computer-generated experience) to help older adults stay active, improve balance, and keep their minds sharp. If you're 65 or older and generally independent, this could be a good way to stay healthy.
This study tests a home-based rehabilitation program using video technology to help frail older adults with heart failure improve their strength and function. It aims to see if this type of remote therapy is safe and effective for this group.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) support helps patients feel more informed and prepared for an elective heart valve procedure (TAVI). It’s meant for people who already plan to have a valve replacement through the groin using a catheter, with pain medicines rather than full anesthesia.
This study tests a home-based, online cardiac rehab program to help heart patients improve their health and reduce heart risks. It may help you recover after a heart event or surgery by providing virtual support and exercise guidance.
This study tests a virtual support program to help older adults stay active and healthy after completing cardiac rehabilitation. It may help you maintain the benefits of rehab and improve your heart health.
