Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation and physical activity benefit chronic HF, though effectiveness varies by patient and regimen.
Why the study?
Chronic heart failure affects about 7% of the population and is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, yet the methodology, organizational models, and differential effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation across patient groups warrant review.
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure?
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a recommended intervention for patients with chronic heart failure, with ongoing evaluation of optimal training methodologies and organizational models.
Supports cardiac rehabilitation in chronic heart failure; leaves open optimal regimens and patient selection for trials.
The review is devoted to the problem of rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). About 7 % of the population of our country have confirmed CHF. This fact is a reason for serious concern since this pathology is the main cause of death of patients from cardiovascular diseases. Until the end of the 20th century, the presence of symptomatic CHF in a patient was a contraindication for physical rehabilitation. However, over the past 10-15 years, rehabilitation care for this category of patients has been recommended by many medical communities. This review provides data on the mechanisms of the effect of physical activity on patients with CHF. Much attention is paid to clinical studies and meta-analyzes, which assess the clinical effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with CHF. It has been shown that the effectiveness of this aid differs in different groups of CHF patients. Attention is paid to the description of the CR methodology among patients with CHF. Alternative opinions of the authors on the effectiveness of different types of training regimes are presented, methods for assessing the intensity of physical exercises are described. The review provides data on different models of organizing the delivery of rehabilitation care to CHF patients.
