NCT ID NCT04909008
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether 10 weeks of supervised exercise training can improve heart function, oxygen use, and quality of life in people with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Forty participants will do three sessions per week at a cardiac rehab clinic. The goal is to see if exercise can lower lung blood pressure and boost exercise capacity.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a drug-free way to improve heart function and daily life for people with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
