Key result
Review summarizes modern methods to evaluate functional capacity and exercise tolerance in HFrEF.
Why the study?
New heart failure medications have altered clinical status and prognosis, diminishing the value of established individual prognostic markers and risk assessment scales.
This review summarizes modern non-invasive methods for evaluating functional capacity and exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure and systolic dysfunction prior to heart transplantation.
May guide pre-transplant functional assessment in systolic HF; leaves open optimal method selection and outcome validation.
The emergence of new groups of medications used in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) has made it possible to optimize treatment regimens, changing the clinical status and prognosis in this patient cohort. In this regard, the relevance of individual prognostic markers and risk assessment scales for heart failure (HF) is losing its value. The aim of our review is to summarize the currently available evidence on modern methods of evaluating the functional capabilities of the body and exercise tolerance in CHF patients on the background of systolic dysfunction before heart transplantation.
