Exercise training

Outcome
CRF (cardiorespiratory fitness) and quality of life
Exercise training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life in patients with HFpEF without altering resting left ventricular function.
Abstract
Exercise training in patients with HFPEF is associated with an improvement in CRF and quality of life without significant changes in left ventricular systolic or diastolic function.
