Breathing muscle training for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program for people with heart failure. It aims to see if strengthening your breathing muscles can help you feel better and be more active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two different types of breathing muscle training to see which works better for people with heart failure and weak breathing muscles. You may join if you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and are stable overall.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can help people recover while in the hospital for heart failure. If you are stable enough, you may be able to join.
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 breathing muscle training, added to regular heart rehab, can improve how well people with heart failure do day-to-day. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have certain health problems.
This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a special device can improve your breathing and daily function. It is for people with chronic heart failure who are stable on their current medications and have not been hospitalized recently.
This study tests if adding inspiratory muscle training (exercises for breathing muscles) to standard cardiac rehab helps people with heart failure exercise better. It aims to improve how you feel and function.
