NCT ID NCT06856915
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a home-based breathing exercise program, guided by video calls, can improve quality of life, heart and lung function, and mood in 104 adults with ischemic heart disease. Participants did either a combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training, inspiratory training alone, or a placebo. The goal was to see if these exercises add benefits to standard cardiac rehab.
