Home-Based Exercise Program Using Mobile Technology After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

This study is testing a home-based exercise program delivered through a smartphone app for people who have recently received a heart pump called an LVAD (left ventricular assist device). LVADs help failing hearts pump blood, but patients often become weak and need rehabilitation. This study checks whether a phone-based exercise program can improve fitness and quality of life at home. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have recently received your first HeartMate 3 LVAD - You can walk independently (with or without a cane or walker) - You own a smartphone with internet access - You will be living at home with the LVAD within 45 days of hospital discharge **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have major physical or neurological conditions that would prevent exercise - You have uncontrolled heart arrhythmia or unstable heart symptoms - You have decompensated (worsening) heart failure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
