High-Flow Oxygen During Exercise for Heart Failure Patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube during exercise helps people with heart failure exercise longer and feel better. Researchers will compare how well patients do with and without this extra oxygen during cardiac rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Diagnosed with heart failure (documented by a doctor)

- Able to do light-to-moderate activities but feel limited by shortness of breath (NYHA class II or III)
- Taking stable heart medications with no recent changes
- No serious lung disease, recent heart attack, or recent hospitalization for heart failure
- Able to complete two exercise testing visits and provide written consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether exercising with mild arm or leg pressure (to reduce blood flow slightly) helps people with heart failure improve their strength and heart function. It combines this technique with either aerobic exercise like walking or resistance exercises like light weights.
This study looks at how tired your muscles get during a controlled cycling exercise test in people who have COPD, and—if applicable—heart failure at the same time. It may help researchers understand exercise limits and how to better support you with these conditions.
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 whether a special nasal breathing device (nasal high flow) can help people with COPD exercise longer and more comfortably. It compares the device to standard low-flow oxygen or no oxygen at all.
This trial studies how well oxygen therapy works for people with long-term lung or heart conditions who have sudden breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to monitor breathing at home to improve care.
This study tests whether high-flow nasal therapy (a special oxygen delivery method) can ease severe shortness of breath in patients receiving palliative care. Palliative care focuses on comfort when curative treatment is no longer the goal.
