Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improve patient outcomes in patients with heart failure?
This review supports the consistent beneficial effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation on outcomes in heart failure patients.
ExCR should be routinely offered to HF patients; confirms benefits are robust across program variations.
This review supports the beneficial effects of ExCR on patient outcomes. These benefits appear to be consistent across ExCR program characteristics. GRADE and TSA assessments indicated that further high-quality randomized trials are needed.
