This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two approaches for older adults with coronary heart disease: standard care (medications, diet, and general lifestyle advice) versus standard care plus a personalized exercise program. The exercise program is designed individually based on your fitness level and includes 3 sessions per week of moderate-to-high intensity training, each lasting 30–40 minutes. Researchers want to see if this tailored exercise approach helps your heart work better and reduces your risk for future heart problems.
Exercise is known to help people with heart disease, but doctors don't always have clear guidance on what type and intensity of exercise works best for older patients. This trial is testing whether personalized, science-based exercise plans—tailored to each person's fitness level—can produce better outcomes than general recommendations.

If you join the exercise group, you'll start with 2 weeks of gentle exercise to make sure it's safe for you. After that, you'll attend exercise sessions 3 times per week for 30–40 minutes each, including warm-up and cool-down periods. A specialist will guide your workouts and adjust the intensity based on your progress. All participants also receive standard medical care, dietary guidance (low salt, low fat), and lifestyle counseling. The study will monitor your heart function and cardiovascular health throughout the program.
