Read our Heart Failure research guide →Researchers want to understand whether a quick, simple test—where you stand up and sit down as many times as you can in one minute—can help predict how well heart failure patients recover after hospitalization. This observational study will track 68 patients with heart failure for 90 days after they leave the hospital to see if their performance on this test connects to their overall health outcomes and quality of life.
Heart failure doctors need better ways to predict which patients will do well after leaving the hospital and which might struggle. This test is simple, safe, and costs nothing—so if it can reliably forecast recovery, it could help doctors give patients the right support early on.
When you leave the intensive care unit, a specially trained physiotherapist will ask you to perform a one-minute stand-up test on a regular chair—standing up and sitting down as many times as you can without using your arms for support. They'll check your heart rate, blood pressure, and how tired or short of breath you feel before and after. Then researchers will follow up with you for 90 days after you leave the hospital, tracking how you're doing using information from your medical records.
