Breathing exercises after heart valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two breathing exercises (Triflow and deep breathing with cough) to see if they help patients recover lung function after mitral valve replacement surgery. It may help you breathe better after your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new breathing exercise device designed to help your lungs recover after heart surgery. It may make your breathing easier and speed up your return to daily activities.
This study tests whether doing arm exercises combined with deep breathing helps recovery after open-heart surgery. Researchers want to see if breathing exercises during movement improves lung function and overall healing in patients recovering in the ICU.
This trial tests a phase one cardiac rehabilitation program for people who have had their mitral or aortic heart valve replaced. It aims to see if the rehab helps recovery. You might qualify if you had planned (not emergency) valve surgery and are stable enough for light exercise.
This study looks at whether fixing heart valve problems with minimally invasive procedures (TAVI or MTEER) can improve sleep-related breathing issues. Researchers will monitor your sleep patterns before and after your scheduled heart valve procedure.
This study tests whether adding breathing and mobility exercises to standard care helps people recover better after heart surgery. It may help reduce shortness of breath and improve your ability to move around.
This study looks at how well your heart and muscles work during exercise after a mitral valve procedure. It also checks stiffness of your main artery (aorta) and oxygen levels in your muscles.
