NCT ID NCT07155421
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether starting cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (exercise and breathing training) early in the hospital helps people with acute decompensated heart failure recover faster. About 40 adults who are stable enough will take part. The goal is to see if early rehab improves physical function, breathing, and shortens hospital stays.
