Structured physical therapy for high-risk heart bypass patients
This trial tests a structured physical therapy program for patients at high risk who are getting heart bypass surgery. The therapy is done in the hospital before and after surgery to help you recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have a planned (not emergency) heart bypass surgery.
- You have at least 3 out of these 5 risk factors: weak heart pump (less than 40%), disease in three heart arteries, two or more other health conditions, history of smoking, or age over 65.
- You are able to walk or move without severe limitations from nerve, muscle, or bone problems.
- You have no serious memory or thinking problems that would prevent you from following instructions.

This study tests a digital care program designed to help patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The program aims to improve heart health and quality of life through monitored rehabilitation training.
This study tests if virtual reality exercises can improve your heart and lung fitness after coronary artery bypass surgery. If you still feel short of breath, this might help you recover better.
This study tests if adding breathing muscle training to a balance and strength program helps older patients recover better after coronary artery bypass surgery. You may join if you are 65 or older, at least two weeks past hospital discharge, and able to do exercises at home.
This study looks at how combining aerobic exercise with strength training can help people recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If you had a successful bypass with no complications and are willing to join a heart rehab program, this trial may be a good fit for you.
This study compares two exercise programs for people who have recovered from heart bypass surgery. One program involves high-intensity interval training, and the other is a home-based rehabilitation program. The goal is to see which program helps improve recovery and overall health.
