Why the study?
To assess skeletal muscle and myocardium responses and morphometric changes in skeletal muscle fibers after an original aerobic exercise program in patients with HFrEF.
Does a 6-month aerobic exercise program improve LVEF, exercise capacity, and skeletal muscle characteristics in patients with class III HFrEF and normal body weight?
Population
100 patients with class III HFrEF
Comparison

Should not yet change class III HFrEF rehab protocols; leaves open whether lactate-threshold AE uniquely remodeled myocardium and muscle fibers.
Does a 6-month aerobic exercise program improve LVEF, exercise capacity, and skeletal muscle characteristics in patients with class III HFrEF and normal body weight?
A 6-month aerobic exercise program in patients with severe HFrEF and normal body weight significantly improves LVEF, exercise tolerance, and quality of life, accompanied by favorable enzymatic changes in skeletal muscle.
