Veterans' heart failure study tests simple knee exercise fix
NCT ID NCT05115890
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why veterans with a common type of heart failure (HFpEF) have trouble exercising due to poor blood flow in their leg muscles. Researchers will compare 35 veterans with HFpEF to healthy volunteers, then have the veterans do 8 weeks of knee exercises to see if it helps. The goal is to understand the problem and find a simple, drug-free way to improve daily life.
