Overview

Supports combined aerobic and calisthenic regimens for stable HF rehabilitation; leaves open.

Structured PICO

Does physical training improve exercise tolerance in stable heart failure patients, and what factors predict benefit?

P
Population
134 stable heart failure patients
I
Intervention
Physical training (including cycle ergometer with or without calisthenic exercises, for 6 to 16 weeks, hospital or home-based)
C
Comparator
Different training durations (6 vs 16 weeks), modalities (cycle ergometer alone vs combined with calisthenics), and settings (hospital vs home)
O
Outcome
Improvement in exercise tolerance (peak oxygen consumption and exercise duration)surrogate

Physical training, particularly a combined cycle ergometer and calisthenic program for 16 weeks, safely improves exercise tolerance in stable heart failure patients regardless of baseline characteristics.
