Inspiratory muscle training for heart disease patients after angioplasty
Official title: CARDIOINSPIRE - Effectiveness of Adding Inspiratory Muscle Training to a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program for People With Ischemic Heart Disease Revascularized by Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty.
Run by University of Cadiz · NCT06681740 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help heart disease patients feel better and exercise more after having angioplasty.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with myocardial ischemia who have undergone angioplasty and can participate in physical exercise.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe heart conditions that contraindicate exercise or those who refuse treatment may not benefit from this study.
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 the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in patients with myocardial ischemia who have undergone percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. It aims to improve the quality of life and exercise tolerance of these patients through a structured rehabilitation program that includes both inspiratory muscle training and a sham intervention for comparison. The study will assess the impact of this training on physical performance and overall well-being, addressing a significant public health issue related to cardiovascular disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the quality of life and functional capacity of patients with ischemic heart disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with similar cardiac rehabilitation approaches, suggesting potential for success in this intervention.
