Oxygen therapy during exercise for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a high-flow nasal cannula, a device that delivers moistened oxygen through the nose, while exercising on a treadmill helps people with heart failure walk or exercise longer. It may improve your exercise tolerance and quality of life during cardiac rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a breathing exercise device to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, while you are in the hospital waiting for a heart pump or heart transplant. It may help you feel stronger and breathe easier.
This study tests whether breathing muscle training can improve exercise capacity and symptoms in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if you are already on certain heart medications and are stable enough to exercise.
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 study tests a more advanced way to monitor oxygen levels and deliver oxygen therapy at home for people with chronic lung or heart conditions who have acute breathing problems. It aims to see if this approach improves care and quality of life.
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
