An interventional study of Physical exercise and Educational program and respiration physiotherapy in Coronary Artery Disease, Valvular Heart Disease and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension, sponsored by Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre. Completed at 2 sites in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-15.

The objective of this clinical trial is to develop a novel rehabilitation model that, through the PRECICA program, will help to reduce perioperative and postoperative complications in the care process prior to planned cardiac surgery. This will be achieved by reducing the total postoperative hospital stay and the physical and psychological complications resulting from surgery. The target population for this trial is patients undergoing planned cardiac surgery due to chronic coronary artery disease, valvular pathology, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and/or aortic injury. Consequently, the quality of life of these patients could be enhanced.

Ran from Jun 2024 to primary completion in Jun 2026, 24 months.
Of 753 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 53. This study's 24 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 930 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 50.
