Low-resistance exercise with blood flow restriction after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if gentle arm exercises with a special blood pressure cuff can help men recover their lung function after heart surgery. It may be an option for those who are stable and ready to follow simple instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 45 and 60 years old
- You had open heart surgery through a breastbone cut (median sternotomy) that was planned ahead
- You are off the breathing machine, awake, and able to follow instructions
- Your heart and nervous system are stable

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 a special exercise program using light weights and blood flow restriction cuffs to help people with colorectal cancer who have muscle weakness. The goal is to improve muscle strength and function safely during or after cancer treatment.
This trial tests whether doing resistance exercise with a blood pressure cuff to partially restrict blood flow can improve heart function in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you get stronger and feel better during cardiac rehab.
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 whether adding arm cycling exercises to standard recovery helps people recover better after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, also known as heart bypass surgery). It is for patients who are stable enough to start moving soon after surgery.
This study tests two exercise programs for people with heart failure: one with light aerobic exercise and one with light resistance training, both using a blood pressure cuff to partly limit blood flow in the arms or legs. The goal is to see if these exercises improve heart function and fitness safely.
