Early exercise program for recovery after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special program of early exercises and breathing activities helps people recover faster after heart surgery. You would be assigned to either the exercise program or standard care, and the study will track how well your heart and body function after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
