First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the Talk Test—a method that uses how easily you can speak during exercise—can safely and effectively replace a standard lab test for prescribing exercise in heart patients. Forty adults who recently had heart procedures will use the Talk Test during home-based cardiac rehab with virtual monitoring. The goal is to see if this simple approach can help patients exercise safely without needing a hospital visit.
