Key result
Structured exercise improves physiological, biochemical, and analytical parameters, including cardiac output, endothelial function, and autonomic regulation in patients with HFrEF.
Why the study?
Although once avoided due to safety concerns, exercise is now recognized as an important intervention in HFrEF, prompting a review of its physiological, biochemical, and analytical impacts.
Does structured exercise improve physiological, biochemical, and analytical parameters in patients with HFrEF?
Does structured exercise improve physiological, biochemical, and analytical parameters in patients with HFrEF?
This review highlights that structured exercise induces favorable physiological and biochemical changes and can be safely incorporated into HFrEF management.
May support structured exercise in HFrEF; hypothesis-generating pending prospective outcome trials.
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a condition marked by diminished cardiac output and impaired oxygen delivery to tissues. Exercise, once avoided in HFrEF patients due to safety concerns, is now recognized as an important therapeutic intervention. Structured exercise improves various physiological, biochemical, and analytical parameters, including cardiac output, endothelial function, skeletal muscle performance, and autonomic regulation. Biochemically, exercise induces favorable changes in inflammatory markers, lipid profiles, glucose metabolism, and renal function. This paper reviews these changes, highlighting how exercise can be safely incorporated into HFrEF management. Further research is needed to tailor exercise interventions for individual patients to optimize outcomes.
