Key result
Exercise training linked to a ~7-watt increase in peak exercise work rate in older HFpEF patients.
Why the study?
Does exercise training improve hemodynamics and exercise capacity in individuals aged 65–80 years with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Does exercise training improve hemodynamics and exercise capacity in individuals aged 65–80 years with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Exercise training improves hemodynamics and exercise capacity in older patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Supports exercise training in HFpEF patients aged 65-80; extends prior evidence to this elderly population.
Correction on: Sugita Y, Ito K, Yoshioka Y, Kudo A, Arakawa S, Sakai S. Exercise training affects hemodynamics and exercise capacity in cases of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a non-randomized controlled trial in individuals aged 65-80 years. Front Cardiovasc Med. 2023;10:1246739. doi:10.3389/fcvm.2023.1246739 There was a mistake in Figure 2 and Tables 3 and4 as published. These errors were due to typographical and transcription errors in the presentation of the results.The incorrect follow-up values were corrected for peakVO2 in the control group, E/e′ in the intervention group, and LV-GLS in the control group. The graphical trends and statistical analyses were correct in the published article.Table 3 The follow-up value for left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) in the control group contained a transcription error and has been corrected.Across the table, the values in the "Change (within-group difference)" column were incorrectly assigned between the control and intervention groups. The baseline and follow-up values were correct, and only the change values have been corrected.

Sugita et al. (2026) studied Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (n=99). Exercise training vs. Control group was evaluated on Peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2). Exercise training for 5 months significantly increased peak exercise work rate by 7 watts and peak cardiac output index by 0.2 L/min/m2 in patients aged 65-80 years with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
