Key result
Any exercise training improves prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function in HF patients.
Why the study?
Does exercise training improve prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function in heart failure patients?
Does exercise training improve prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function in heart failure patients?
Exercise training, whether continuous or interval, is beneficial for improving prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function in heart failure patients.
Supports exercise in HF; leaves open optimal regimens and durability in prospective trials.
Prevalence of heart failure (HF) increases over time and is associated with high mortality. Shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, and low quality of life related to health are the common problems in HF patients despite optimum pharmacological therapy. Exercise training counteracts the progression of devastating compensatory mechanisms of HF, leading to improvement in functional capacity and quality of life. Resistance training improves peak oxygen uptake, quality of life, and walking performance in HF patients. Adherence is central to training for the best result. Any exercise training program whether continuous or interval training is sufficient to improve the prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function.

Purwowiyoto et al. (2018) conducted a review in Heart failure. Exercise training (High-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training) was evaluated. Any exercise training program, whether continuous or interval training, is sufficient to improve prognosis, quality of life, and anatomic function in patients with heart failure.
