Breathing and exercise training after heart surgery for older adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study combines breathing training with gentle balance and strength exercises to help older adults regain strength and breathing after heart surgery. Participants do exercises at home after leaving the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older
- You must have had coronary artery bypass graft (heart) surgery at least 2 weeks ago
- You should be able to do exercises safely, without heart or lung problems that make exercise risky
- You must not have serious memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow instructions
- You need to be able to do exercises at home and not be in another exercise program
