Overview

Supports adjunctive exercise training in HF; leaves open optimal implementation to address adherence.

Structured PICO

Does exercise training improve mortality, morbidity, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure?

P
Population
Patients with chronic heart failure, including those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and those with electrical implanted devices or mechanical support
I
Intervention
Exercise training

Exercise training is a beneficial adjunct therapy for chronic heart failure, including HFPEF, improving mortality, morbidity, and quality of life, though adherence and implementation remain challenging.

Limitations

  • Small study populations in studies evaluating the effect of exercise training in HFPEF patients
  • Short- and long-term adherence to exercise training remain a major challenge
  • Small study populations in HFPEF studies
