Summary

This study tests whether personalized support from a sport and health professional after cardiac rehabilitation helps heart failure patients maintain their physical activity levels. 90 participants will be followed for 12 months, with activity measured by a step counter. The goal is to see if tailored coaching can prevent the loss of benefits that often happens when patients return home.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: personalized follow-up in adapted physical activities
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could help heart failure patients maintain the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation for a longer period, improving their quality of life and reducing hospitalizations.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (90 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to all heart failure patients, and long-term adherence to physical activity remains challenging.
