Lung rehab program aims to get blood clot survivors back on their feet

This study tests whether a 6-week outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program helps people with post-PE syndrome (lingering symptoms after a pulmonary embolism) walk farther and breathe better. About 48 adults who had a pulmonary embolism 12 to 36 weeks earlier will be randomly assigned to start rehab right away or wait. The main goal is to see if the program improves walking distance in 6 minutes.
