Exercise Preconditioning to Protect Against Dialysis-induced Cardiac Injury

NCT06735378 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine what happens to the heart muscle contraction when people cycle before their hemodialysis treatment. Will pre-dialysis exercise protect the heart from a decrease in pumping of the heart muscle (called stunning) that can happen during hemodialysis. We will study whether pre-dialysis exercise decreases heart stunning, decreases the number and severity of symptoms commonly associated with hemodialysis, and other outcomes

Conditions

  • Hemodialysis
  • Cardioprotection

Interventions

OTHER

Intradialytic Cycling

The impact of interdialytic exercise on cardio protection during HD has never been studied. This approach may enhance cardiovascular benefits and overall physical fitness, thereby contributing to better health outcomes in individuals undergoing HD.
