Sitting less to improve heart and lung function after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether helping people sit less and move more after heart surgery can improve their breathing, heart function, and quality of life. If you're between 50 and 80 and have had heart surgery, this may help you recover better.

This study tests whether adding breathing and mobility exercises to standard care helps people recover better after heart surgery. It may help reduce shortness of breath and improve your ability to move around.
This study tests whether certain body positions and breathing exercises (called ACBT) can help prevent lung problems after heart surgery. It may help you recover faster and avoid complications like pneumonia.
This study tests whether a special program of early exercises and breathing activities helps people recover faster after heart surgery. You would be assigned to either the exercise program or standard care, and the study will track how well your heart and body function after surgery.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help reduce shortness of breath and improve heart and lung function in patients recovering from open-heart surgery. You would learn and practice these breathing techniques before and after your surgery.
This trial tests if gentle arm exercises with a special blood pressure cuff can help men recover their lung function after heart surgery. It may be an option for those who are stable and ready to follow simple instructions.
