Home-based Exercise Program Using Mobile Technology After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation (MOVE-LVAD II)
Status: Recruiting
This study is looking at whether a home-based exercise program, supported by mobile technology (such as a smartphone app, wearable device, or remote monitoring tools), can help people who have received a HeartMate 3 (HM3) LVAD become more active, stronger, and healthier after surgery.
Sex: Male or Female
Age: 18 years and over
Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
This study is for adults who have recently received their first HeartMate 3 LVAD, are able to get around independently, have a smartphone, and are living at home (or will be soon after discharge). These requirements help ensure participants can safely take part in the home-based exercise program and use the mobile technology involved in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
A person cannot take part in the study if they have other serious health problems that would make exercise unsafe or not possible. This includes major movement or nerve problems (like severe joint or brain/nerve conditions), worsening or unstable heart failure, dangerous or poorly controlled heart rhythms, or chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart (unstable angina).Conditions:
Heart Failure
