Clinical Trial: Feasibility of Physical Prehabilitation for High-Risk Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Via Sternotomy

U.S., Oct. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07893184) titled 'Feasibility of Physical Prehabilitation for High-Risk Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Via Sternotomy' on Dec. 31, 2025.

Brief Summary: Rationale Cardiac surgery via median sternotomy carries an elevated risk of postoperative complications and delayed functional recovery. Preoperative physical therapy aims to reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative adverse outcomes and to accelerate functional recovery. However, current evidence on prehabilitation is inconsistent due to methodological heterogeneity. This study addresses the limitations of previous studies in four ways. First, a validated preoperative prediction model i...
