Summary

This study looked at whether patients who had a heart catheterization with an Angioseal closure device can safely get up and walk sooner instead of lying flat for hours. Researchers compared early walking to the standard longer bed rest to see if it is just as safe while improving patient comfort and reducing hospital costs. The study involved 28 adults undergoing diagnostic left heart catheterization.
