A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates whether participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program can enhance the health and quality of life of patients recovering from infective endocarditis (IE). Participants will engage in physical exercise training twice a week for 12 weeks, undergo physical evaluations, and complete digital surveys regarding their health perceptions over the course of a year. Additionally, they will share their experiences through interviews before and after the rehabilitation program. The aim is to assess improvements in physical capacity, fatigue symptoms, and overall mental health.
