Remote exercise training for heart pump patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether patients with recently implanted heart pumps (LVADs) can safely exercise at home via video calls instead of traveling to a hospital gym. The goal is to help improve fitness and heart function without requiring in-person visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had your heart pump (LVAD) implanted less than 6 months ago
- Stable enough to go home from the hospital, not on heart medications by IV, and no active infections
- Unable to attend a supervised exercise program in person due to distance or scheduling
- Able to participate in exercise testing (walk, light activity without severe limitations)
- Have not already completed a supervised rehabilitation program since your heart pump was placed

This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided remotely by a therapist, can help older adults with conditions like COPD, asthma, heart failure, or metabolic syndrome. The goal is to improve their health and quality of life without needing to go to a clinic.
This study tests a home exercise program using your smartphone after you get a HeartMate 3™ LVAD. It aims to help you get stronger and recover safely at home.
This trial tests whether a home, virtual-care program after a recent heart failure hospital visit can improve recovery and outcomes. You may be invited if you recently left the hospital for heart failure and meet specific heart and lab test thresholds.
This trial tests a cardiac telerehabilitation program for people with chronic heart failure. It is designed to see if doing rehab at home using digital tools helps improve health and quality of life.
This trial tests a telehealth (video-based) rehabilitation program for adults 65+ with heart failure who also show signs of frailty—meaning they're experiencing weakness, slowness, or difficulty with daily activities. The program aims to improve strength, function, and quality of life through guided exercises you can do at home.
This study tests if leg exercises and mild electrical stimulation can help people who have a balloon pump in their leg artery. It aims to see if these treatments improve strength and recovery while the pump is in place.
