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 study tests if adding inspiratory muscle training (exercises for breathing muscles) to standard cardiac rehab helps people with heart failure exercise better. It aims to improve how you feel and function.
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 trial tests a special breathing exercise program for people with heart failure. It aims to see if strengthening your breathing muscles can help you feel better and be more active.
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
