Can a fitness app boost recovery after heart valve replacement?
NCT ID NCT07008911
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an eight-week digital cardiac rehabilitation program using the Peloton app can improve physical activity and recovery in people who have had a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Participants are randomly assigned to either the digital rehab program or an educational control. The study tracks daily steps, functional capacity, and quality of life over 12 months to see if the program helps patients become more active and feel better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CardioHeartConnect, a digital cardiac rehabilitation program using the Peloton app
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this could offer a convenient, home-based rehabilitation option to improve physical activity and quality of life for people recovering from heart valve replacement.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and the intervention is behavioral, so results may vary. Participants must be able to use the app and smartwatch, which may limit who can benefit.
