Implication
May support activity counseling to lower HF risk; leaves open causal confirmation in RCTs for both HFrEF and HFpEF.
Structured PICO
Does increased physical activity and exercise prevent heart failure incidence?
P
Population
General population at risk of heart failure
I
Intervention
Increased physical activity and exercise (e.g., four to five sessions per week)
C
Comparator
Lower physical activity or higher sedentary time
O
Outcome
Heart failure incidence (including both preserved and reduced ejection fraction)hard clinical
Regular physical activity and reduced sedentary time are associated with a lower risk of developing heart failure, likely through beneficial cardiovascular remodeling and risk factor reduction.
