Cardiac rehab for older heart patients with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation program for people aged 60 or older who have both coronary heart disease and sarcopenia (muscle loss). The program aims to improve heart health and muscle strength, potentially helping you recover better after a heart event.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have coronary heart disease (confirmed by a heart scan or angiogram) and your condition is stable, with no recent chest pain, heart damage, or heart failure symptoms.
- Your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are within normal ranges.
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength).
- You are willing and able to follow the study plan and give written consent.

This study looks at the reasons for age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with heart failure. It may help researchers understand what is causing muscle weakness and how it could be treated in the future.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older patients (80+) hospitalized for heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help doctors better understand how to care for this specific group.
This study tests a home-based exercise and rehabilitation program delivered through your phone to help improve muscle strength, walking speed, and function in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The goal is to see if remote (online) rehabilitation is as effective as in-person sessions.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve strength, endurance, and quality of life in women over 60 who have heart failure and muscle loss. If you qualify, you would join an exercise group and compare your progress with others.
