Sitting less for older adults with heart disease and frailty
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help older adults with heart disease and frailty reduce the time they spend sitting each day. By becoming more active, you may feel stronger and improve your heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years of age or older.
- You need a diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (a heart condition causing chest pain or breathlessness).
- Your chest pain (angina) should be mild or less — meaning it only happens with heavy activity, not at rest.
- You must have some level of frailty (feeling weak, tired, or losing strength) — a score of 1 or more on a standard frailty check.
- You must spend at least 6 hours per day sitting or lying down (not counting sleeping).
- You or your caregiver must be able to use the WeChat app for the study.
