Breathing exercises after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises after heart bypass surgery to see which helps your lungs recover better. It may help you regain your lung function faster after surgery.

This trial tests if a program of aerobic and resistance exercises helps patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a type of heart surgery. You may qualify if you had bypass surgery within the last 12 weeks and are between 40 and 65 years old.
This study tests whether combining a slow breathing technique (4-7-8 method) with stationary cycling can improve your blood pressure, quality of life, and shortness of breath after heart bypass surgery. It is for people who are recovering well and ready for a supervised exercise program.
This study tests a special breathing and movement technique called the Thoraco-abdominal Rebalance Method to see if it helps people recover faster after heart bypass surgery.
