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 during a crisis, patients often develop problems with their breathing muscles and leg muscles, making recovery harder. This trial is testing whether adding breathing exercises and electrical stimulation of the leg muscles — on top of regular medical care — can help hospitalized heart failure patients regain strength, breathe more easily, and improve their quality of life.
Many people hospitalized with severe heart failure struggle with weak breathing muscles and wasting leg muscles, even after their heart condition is medically managed. This trial exists to see if targeted breathing training and muscle stimulation can break this cycle and lead to better recovery and fewer hospital readmissions.

Participants receive their regular heart failure medicines and medical care, and are randomly assigned to one of three groups: one group receives breathing exercises only, another receives both breathing exercises and electrical muscle stimulation of the legs, and a third receives only standard care. The training is done during your hospital stay and afterward, with sessions designed to rebuild strength in your breathing muscles and legs to help you recover faster and feel stronger.
