Prehabilitation for frail patients before heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This program helps mildly or moderately frail patients get physically stronger before their heart surgery or procedure. It is designed to improve recovery and outcomes by starting exercises and support during the waiting period.
