Overview

Supports exercise in heart failure care; leaves open optimal strategies to overcome barriers.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Individuals diagnosed with heart failure
I
Intervention
Physical activity interventions including supervised exercise (moderate intensity-continuous, interval training, respiratory muscle training, strength training, Tai Chi), e-Health applications, Exergaming, and heart age calculators

Regular physical activity, supported by supervised exercise and technological tools, is crucial for managing heart failure despite various physical, psychological, and socioeconomic barriers.

Limitations

  • Subjective physical activity assessments are prone to recall bias, overestimation of activity levels, and inability to detect daily changes.
  • Objective measurement devices only reflect absolute activity intensity and their clinical use is limited due to high cost.
  • Applying general population threshold values for physical activity to heart failure patients may lead to misclassification.

Cite This Study

Dereli et al. (2025) conducted a review in Heart failure. Physical activity and exercise programs was evaluated. Regular physical activity and structured exercise programs improve cardiovascular function, enhance quality of life, and reduce disease-related complications in patients with heart failure.
