Exercise intensity study for heart attack recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing different ways of doing exercise during cardiac rehab to see which helps people feel better and stay active. It's for people who have had a heart attack or similar event in the last year and are considered low risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (like a heart attack) in the past year, but you have never joined a cardiac rehab program
- Your doctor has classified you as low risk for heart problems, meaning you can exercise without chest pain or dangerous heart rhythms
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted
- You do not have serious heart rhythm problems, severe leg pain from blocked arteries, or other conditions that would make exercise unsafe

This study tests a special exercise program for people with heart disease or heart failure. The goal is to see if the exercises can help improve how your heart responds to activity and daily life.
This study compares two types of supervised exercise programs for people with stable coronary artery disease. It aims to see if short bursts of intense exercise are better than moderate continuous exercise for improving heart health.
This study compares two types of aerobic exercise (steady vs. interval) to see which one improves heart health more for people who have recently had a heart attack or procedure. If you've completed a stress test and been cleared for exercise, you may be able to join.
This study tests a specific type of exercise called eccentric exercise (which involves lengthening muscles, like lowering a weight slowly) as part of cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack. It aims to see if it improves recovery and fitness more than standard exercise.
This trial tests whether a structured physical exercise plan can help people recover and stay healthier after a heart attack. It is designed for people who can safely be active and are not already doing as much exercise as the program requires.
This study tests a structured program to help people adopt healthier habits after a heart attack. It combines education and support to encourage physical activity and better self-care during recovery.
