Breathing exercises for recovery after heart stent procedure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises (Pilates-style and diaphragmatic) can improve oxygen levels and heart health after a heart stent procedure. It may help patients recover better by strengthening their breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 44 and 75 years old (or slightly older if your doctor considers you at risk).
- You are stable after your heart stent procedure, with no chest pain and normal heart rate and blood pressure.
- Your oxygen level is at least 92% while breathing room air.
- You can follow simple instructions and perform breathing exercises.
- Your heart's pumping function (ejection fraction) is above 35%.
