A Study to Evaluate Breathing Muscle Training in Cardiac Rehab

Combined Cardiac Rehabilitation and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Heart Failure

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to understand if breathing muscle training combined with cardiac rehabilitation influences the blood flow and blood pressure response during exercise.
