Exercise programs after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
