Exercise Recovery After Heart Bypass Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—elliptical machine workouts and Swiss ball exercises—to help people recover safely after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, which is a common procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. The goal is to see which exercise method works better for improving fitness and heart health during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old
- You had planned coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery—a procedure to improve blood flow to your heart
- You are 2 to 6 weeks post-surgery and have been cleared by your doctor to start exercising
- Your heart is stable: normal blood pressure, heart rate, and no signs of acute heart problems
- You are able and willing to participate in supervised exercise sessions at a clinic or hospital
