Remote exercise training for people with a new heart pump
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program using video calls can help people who recently got a heart pump (LVAD) become more active and improve their recovery. It is designed for those who cannot easily attend in-person rehab sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a heart pump (LVAD) implanted less than 6 months ago.
- You have been discharged from the hospital after the implant and are not needing IV medications to support your heart.
- Your hemoglobin (a part of your blood that carries oxygen) is above 9 g/dL, and you do not have an active infection.
- You are unable to attend a supervised rehab program in person, for example because of distance or lack of availability.
- You have not already completed a supervised rehab program after getting your LVAD.
- You are able to do a cardiopulmonary exercise test (a test that checks how your heart and lungs respond to exercise).
