Incorporating Healthy Living Strategies to Aid in Recovery After Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Acute Pulmonary Embolism
In brief
The purpose of the ERAsE-PE study is to determine whether two different healthy living strategies (along with anticoagulation) might aid in recovery after a patient is hospitalized for pulmonary embolism. Specifically, Investigators will compare changes in Cardiac Effort (#heart beats used during the 6-minute walk test/walk distance) measured after an 8-week program.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- English speaking (>18 years old). Daily messages will be sent in English.
- Acute PE with at least one of the following:
- any right ventricular enlargement or dysfunction on echocardiogram;
- CT Angiogram reporting any right ventricular enlargement; or
- elevated cardiac biomarker (NT-pro BNP or troponin above baseline). Criteria for enrollment will be included on source document.
- Rate controlled atrial arrythmias (resting heart rate <110 beats/m) are eligible for enrollment. This includes atrial fibrillations. This is standard of care management for atrial fibrillation.
- Subjects do need to take prescribed anticoagulation.
You may not qualify if…
- Pregnancy.
- Cardiac Effort >3.5 beats/m during 6MWT.
- Resting tachycardia >110 beats/m at hospital discharge.
- Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
- Systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg at hospital discharge.
- Inability to walk.
- Estimated prognosis <12 months at the time of discharge due to underlying co-morbidities (e.g., cancer).
