Breathing exercises after heart stent procedure
This study tests two simple breathing exercises to see which one better helps oxygen levels and heart rate stability after a heart stent placement. It aims to improve recovery and overall heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 44 and 75 years old.
- You recently had a heart stent placed (percutaneous coronary intervention).
- Your heart is stable with normal blood pressure, heart rate, and no chest pain.
- Your oxygen level is above 92% on room air.
- You are able to follow simple instructions and do breathing exercises.
- Your heart's pumping function (ejection fraction) is greater than 35%.
