Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week, at-home exercise program can improve heart and lung fitness in patients at high risk for heart problems who are about to receive a stem cell transplant. Ten adults will follow a personalized workout plan using a heart rate app. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, with early signs of benefit.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simple exercise program before stem cell transplant helps protect heart health and reduce complications.
