Exercise rehabilitation for hospitalized heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special exercise program (called ExCR) for people with severe heart failure who are in the hospital. It aims to see if exercise can improve their recovery and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are in the hospital for acute heart failure for more than 24 hours.
- You have at least one heart failure symptom (like shortness of breath, tiredness, or swelling) and at least two physical signs (like fluid in the lungs, leg swelling, or a high BNP).
- Your doctor has started or increased a heart failure medication (such as a diuretic, vasodilator, or digoxin) during this hospital stay.
- You do not have certain severe conditions, such as cardiogenic shock, recent blood clots in the legs or lungs, severe kidney disease (GFR below 30), severe lung disease, severe frailty, or serious mental health issues.

This study tests whether starting a tailored exercise and education program early in the hospital can help people with acute heart failure recover faster and feel better. It includes walking, breathing exercises, and support to get you back to daily activities.
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
This trial tests a structured exercise-based heart rehab program for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF. The goal is to help you feel better and improve your heart health. If you join, you'll be guided through safe exercises and monitored by a team.
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with heart failure. It focuses on people who are currently not very active, aiming to improve symptoms and heart/fitness measures safely.
