Summary

This study will test whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard cardiac rehab helps heart patients recover better. About 80 adults who have been hospitalized for a heart condition will take part. The main goal is to see if the training improves breathing muscle strength, and researchers will also check overall fitness, lung function, and quality of life.

Active substance

inspiratory muscle training device

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost addition to cardiac rehab that helps heart patients breathe better and feel stronger.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants. The benefits may be modest or not apply to all heart patients, and the training device may be inconvenient for some.
