This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When the heart weakens, it can affect your ability to breathe deeply and cause your leg muscles to weaken. This trial tests whether two types of training—breathing exercises and a technique called functional electrical stimulation that gently stimulates leg muscles—can help hospitalized heart failure patients breathe easier, build strength, and recover better when added to standard medical care.
Many heart failure patients struggle with weak breathing muscles and muscle loss, which keeps them tired and limits what they can do. This trial exists to see whether these specific exercises can break that cycle and help patients regain strength and quality of life during recovery.

If you join, you'll be assigned to one of three groups: one group receives standard heart failure care only, another adds breathing exercises, and the third adds both breathing exercises and gentle electrical stimulation of the leg muscles. You'll work with the research team during your hospital stay and likely during follow-up visits to practice these techniques, which are designed to be safe and manageable while you're recovering.
