Study Summary

This trial will assess the safety & benefits of aerobic exercise for people who have had an aortic dissection. It will also look at how exercise affects their quality of life, functional fitness & outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-88 who have had an aortic dissection at least 90 days ago and can perform basic activities. They must be able to consent and communicate effectively. Excluded are those with recent acute events, unstable heart conditions, severe disabilities, high blood pressure crises, significant past strokes, or conditions affecting walking; also excluded are those with allergies to certain CT scan dyes or other health issues that limit exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and benefits of a supervised exercise program over three months for patients who've had an aortic dissection. It aims to see how light to moderate exercise affects their quality of life and the structure of the aorta using imaging techniques, surveys on well-being, fitness assessments, and clinical outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an exercise regimen rather than medication or surgery, side effects may include typical risks associated with physical activity such as muscle strain or fatigue. Specific risks related to individuals recovering from an aortic dissection will be closely monitored.
