This study tests rehabilitation methods (physical therapy and supportive techniques) to help people aged 65 and older recover better after heart surgery. The goal is to improve mobility, strength, and quality of life during recovery.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study asks patients and their families about their experience after heart surgery (like bypass or valve repair) to help doctors improve follow-up care. You'll share your story through an interview, and your feedback could help future patients.
This study looks at a program called ERAS, which helps patients recover faster after open heart surgery by improving nutrition and reducing stress on the body. It aims to see how well this program works and to improve outcomes for patients.
