Breathing muscle training for hospitalized heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can help people recover while in the hospital for heart failure. If you are stable enough, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with heart failure
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are currently in the hospital for heart failure
- You are medically stable (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen level, breathing rate all within safe ranges)

This study tests a breathing exercise program to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may help you feel better and be more active despite heart failure. You must have stable heart failure and not have had recent heart problems or surgery.
This study tests a breathing exercise device to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, while you are in the hospital waiting for a heart pump or heart transplant. It may help you feel stronger and breathe easier.
This study tests whether breathing muscle training can improve exercise capacity and symptoms in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if you are already on certain heart medications and are stable enough to exercise.
This study tests whether breathing muscle training, added to regular heart rehab, can improve how well people with heart failure do day-to-day. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have certain health problems.
This trial compares two different types of breathing muscle training to see which works better for people with heart failure and weak breathing muscles. You may join if you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and are stable overall.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve breathing and daily function in people with heart failure. It may help you feel better and do more in your everyday life.
