Home workouts could boost heart recovery: new trial
NCT ID NCT07130045
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a hybrid exercise program (HyBEST) for people with coronary artery disease. It combines supervised sessions at a center with home workouts using a wearable tracker. The goal is to see if this approach improves exercise capacity, body composition, and quality of life better than standard care. 84 participants will be randomly assigned to either the HyBEST program or usual cardiac rehab.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hybrid endurance and strength training (HyBEST) exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this hybrid exercise program could offer a convenient, effective way for heart patients to improve fitness and quality of life at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 84 participants. The home-based component relies on patient adherence, and results may not apply to all heart patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age of 18 years or older. * Diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD), with or without invasive treatment, maintaining a normal sinus rhythm and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). * In a stable clinical condition. * capable of regularly attending a supervised exercise program. * Able to complete questionnaires in English or Malay. Exclusion Criteria: * They exhibited abnormal responses during the initial exercise test, such as irregular haemodynamic responses, ST segment depression greater than 2 mm, or any ventricular fibrillation. * Their forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) is less than 50% of the predicted value. * They cannot participate in exercise testing due to non-cardiac limitations. * They have been hospitalized due to heart failure within the past year. * They have uncontrollable hypertension.
