Does exercise training improve cardiac output in subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
There is a significant lack of evidence from randomized controlled trials regarding the effects of exercise training on cardiac output in patients with HFpEF.
The identification of only one RCT hallmarks the sparse evidence on alterations of CO prior to post an exercise intervention in subjects with HFpEF. This might be because other markers such as V̇O2max are much easier to measure.
