Read our Heart Failure research guide →Researchers want to understand whether a simple, one-minute test—where you stand up and sit down as many times as you can—can predict how well people recover after being hospitalized for heart failure. This test is quick and doesn't require any medication or special equipment, just a chair. The study will follow 68 patients over 90 days after they leave the hospital to see if this test helps doctors understand who might have a harder time recovering.
Doctors need better, simple tools to predict which heart failure patients will struggle after leaving the hospital so they can provide extra support to those who need it most. Right now, there's no clear way to know which patients are at highest risk just by looking at simple physical abilities.
You'll be asked to perform the standing test once, either when you're discharged from the hospital or within 48 hours after discharge. The test takes just one minute: you'll stand up and sit down on a chair as many times as you can while keeping your arms crossed. Before and after the test, staff will check your heart rate, blood pressure, and how tired or short of breath you feel. Then researchers will follow up with you for 90 days after you leave the hospital to see how well you're recovering.
