First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

This study tests a nurse-led education program designed to help women in cardiac rehab address sexual concerns after a heart event. Sixty-six women will be randomly assigned to either the program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program improves sexual function, mood, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Therapeutic Education Program on Female Sexuality (PET-SF)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could become a standard part of cardiac rehab for women, helping them feel better about their sexual health and overall quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The program is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement.
