Arm Exercise Training for Heart Failure With Device
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different types of arm exercises for people with heart failure who have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted. The goal is to see which exercise approach best improves how well your arms function and help you stay active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older with heart failure and an implanted heart device (ICD or CRT)
- At least 3 months since your device was implanted with no complications
- Heart failure classified as NYHA Class II or III (moderate symptoms with some activity limitations)
- No major shoulder problems, shoulder surgery, or arm-affecting conditions before your device
- No recent cardiac events (heart attack, unstable chest pain, or cardiac surgery in last 3 months)
- Stable overall health without active cancer treatment or dialysis with unstable fluid levels

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well people with heart failure and certain heart devices (ICD or CRT) can use their arms and hands. It aims to understand if these devices affect upper body function.
This trial studies how physical activity changes with the seasons in people with heart failure who have a pacemaker or defibrillator. It aims to help doctors understand how to better support your activity levels throughout the year.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (neuromuscular vs. resistance training) to see which one better improves daily functioning in people with heart failure. If you join, you'll do a supervised exercise routine that may help you feel stronger and more capable in your everyday activities.
This study tests two exercise programs for people with heart failure: one with light aerobic exercise and one with light resistance training, both using a blood pressure cuff to partly limit blood flow in the arms or legs. The goal is to see if these exercises improve heart function and fitness safely.
This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
This study tests if a specific type of leg-strengthening exercise (eccentric resistance training) can help people with stable chronic heart failure feel better and move more easily. If you have heart failure and are not in an acute or very severe stage, this might be an option to improve your daily life.
