New study aims to get more heart patients into rehab
NCT ID NCT07158515
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program, offered in a safety net clinic, helps more heart patients attend rehab compared to the usual referral to an outside program. Researchers will enroll 100 adults who have had a heart attack, surgery, or other heart conditions. The goal is to see if a tailored, supportive approach boosts participation and completion of rehab, which is key for recovery.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a personalized, community-based rehab program helps more heart patients stick with recovery, improving their long-term heart health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) focused on participation rates, not hard health outcomes. Results may not apply to all settings or guarantee better heart health.
