Personalized rehab for veterans with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a tailored exercise program for veterans who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to see if a personalized rehab plan can improve your heart function and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have heart failure symptoms that make you tired or short of breath during everyday activities (Class II or III).
- You need a history of high blood pressure.
- Your heart's pumping strength must be normal or near normal (ejection fraction of 50% or higher).
- Your heart muscle must be thickened (confirmed by imaging like an echocardiogram or CT scan).
- You must have evidence that the heart is stiff and not relaxing properly (diastolic dysfunction), based on at least 2 of 5 specific heart measures.
- You must be able to take part in an exercise program, as approved by your doctor or a study provider.

This study is testing better ways to understand and manage heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work as well as it should. It looks at people with symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, using blood tests and heart imaging to check eligibility.
This trial tests a personalized exercise program to help people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if your heart still pumps well but you have trouble being active, and you are willing to use a phone app and exercise regularly.
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
