Baduanjin exercise for patients with ischemic heart failure on phase-II cardiac rehabilitation (BEAR trial): study protocol for a prospective randomized controlled trial

DiscussionThis is the first trial to evaluate the effects of aBaduanjin exercise-based CR program on cardiopulmonary function and exercise tolerance in ischemic CHF patients. If successful, it will prove the value ofBaduanjin exercise in improving cardiopulmonary function and exercise tolerance in patients with ischemic heart failure on phase-II CR, and may further develop a ChineseQigong exercise-based CR framework.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, ID:NCT03229681.
