A Home-Based Exercise Intervention (CAREFit-BMT) in Improving Heart Function Among Patients With High Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant

This clinical trial studies how well a home-based exercise intervention called Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Bone Marrow Transplant Program (CAREFit-BMT) works in improving heart function among patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing stem cell transplant. Older adults and those with other medical conditions are at a higher risk for complications in the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular). Older age at transplantation has been associated with nearly all cardiovascular complications occurring after stem cell transplant. This is likely explained by the structural and functional changes that occur in aging hearts as well as the larger burden of cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. CAREFit-BMT is a "prehabilitation" program, or exercise initiated prior to intensive therapy, that consists of aerobic exercises and strength training. CAREFit-BMT may be able to increase the likelihood of safe and successful transition to stem cell transplant in patients with high risk AML.
