Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (age ≥18) referred to Hochgebirgsklinik Davos for cardiac rehabilitation who can give written informed consent and understand German are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not referred for cardiac rehabilitation, who cannot communicate in German, or who have physical or psychological impairments that prevent participation are unlikely to benefit from joining.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
RECOVER is a prospective, non-interventional, single-center cohort enrolling adults referred to Hochgebirgsklinik Davos for cardiac rehabilitation who provide written consent. Participants will have routine clinical data recorded and will complete questionnaires and functional assessments during the rehabilitation program, with longitudinal follow-up through the planned study period. The investigative team will analyze recovery trajectories across diagnoses such as heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, CABG, and post–cardiac arrest to identify predictors of outcomes. The study does not alter standard clinical care and is observational in design.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help tailor cardiac rehabilitation programs and identify factors that predict better long-term recovery for patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other observational cardiac rehabilitation cohorts have produced useful insights into outcomes and predictors, though a long-term monocentric cohort at a high-altitude clinic like Davos is relatively novel.

Bypass surgery versus stents for people with weak heart pumping and blockages in multiple coronary arteries
This trial tests whether bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI) lead to better survival, fewer major heart problems, and improved quality of life for adults with reduced left ventricular function (LVEF ≤40%) and multivessel coronary disease.
