New cardiac rehabilitation treatment for ischemic heart disease
Official title: A New Cardiac Rehabilitation Treatment in the Application of Ischemic Heart Disease: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study
Run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital · NCT06681506 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new heart rehab program that combines breathing exercises, exercise therapy, and shock wave treatment to see if it helps people with ischemic heart disease more than the usual rehab methods.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 85 diagnosed with ischemic heart disease who require cardiac rehabilitation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, uncontrolled pulmonary infections, or severe arrhythmias may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of a novel cardiac rehabilitation therapy that includes early respiratory rehabilitation, exercise therapy, and extracorporeal shock wave treatment for patients with ischemic heart disease. It compares this new approach to traditional cardiac rehabilitation methods, focusing on patient compliance and outcomes. Participants will receive either the new therapy combined with standard drug treatment or traditional rehabilitation methods over a treatment period of 1 to 3 months, followed by a 6-month evaluation of their heart health.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve recovery and quality of life for patients with ischemic heart disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar rehabilitation approaches, but this specific combination of therapies is relatively novel.
