Can exercise improve blood vessel health after a heart attack?
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether aerobic exercise can improve blood vessel health in people who have had a heart attack or chest pain (angina). If you qualify, you'll join a monitored exercise program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 to 75 years old.
- You had a heart attack or angina between 3 and 12 months ago and were treated with stents, bypass surgery, or medicines.
- Your heart symptoms are mild (no chest pain or shortness of breath with everyday activities).
- You are not currently active (you don't exercise regularly or do structured workouts).
- You don't have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or serious heart valve problems.
