Breathing and balance exercises for older heart surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if adding breathing muscle training to a balance and strength program helps older patients recover better after coronary artery bypass surgery. You may join if you are 65 or older, at least two weeks past hospital discharge, and able to do exercises at home.

This trial tests if a program of aerobic and resistance exercises helps patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a type of heart surgery. You may qualify if you had bypass surgery within the last 12 weeks and are between 40 and 65 years old.
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 a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
This study compares two exercise programs for people who have recovered from heart bypass surgery. One program involves high-intensity interval training, and the other is a home-based rehabilitation program. The goal is to see which program helps improve recovery and overall health.
