This program helps people who are at higher risk of complications after heart surgery get stronger before their operation. It uses video visits to support you while you wait, so you recover better.
This study tests a digital app-based program to help people recover after a heart attack. It is designed for patients who had their first heart attack, received a stent, and have some heart muscle weakness — the app may support exercise and lifestyle changes to improve recovery.
This trial tests a digital tool to help people with heart disease continue their cardiac rehabilitation at home during the maintenance phase. It's for people who have already completed the earlier rehab phase and are ready for long-term support.
This study tests whether a smartphone app that helps you follow a recovery plan can shorten the time you need to stay in the hospital after coronary artery bypass (heart bypass) surgery.
