Clinical Trial: Aerobic Reconditioning After Cardiac Surgery Using a Predictive Exercise Model

U.S., Feb. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07440407) titled 'Aerobic Reconditioning After Cardiac Surgery Using a Predictive Exercise Model' on Feb. 23.

Brief Summary: Brief Summary

After heart surgery, aerobic exercise is essential for recovery. Traditional exercise planning uses a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), which may be unavailable early after surgery. This study tested a six-minute walk test (6MWT)-based method.

Patients aged 30-65 were randomized to either 6MWT-guided or symptom-guided exercise. They completed 14 supervised cycling sessions over two weeks. Safety, exercise progression, training volume, functional capacity, physical performance, and quality of life were measur...
