  • Title: Exercise-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs in Heart Failure Patients.
    Author: Patti A, Merlo L, Ambrosetti M, Sarto P.
    Journal: Heart Fail Clin; 2021 Apr; 17(2):263-271. PubMed ID: 33673950.
    Abstract:
    Exercise training is recommended for patients with heart failure by major societies' guidelines. It improves exercise capacity and quality of life, reduces symptoms of depression, can improve survival, and reduce the risk for hospitalizations. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation can be offered with different modalities, such as continuous or interval aerobic training, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training. The intervention must follow an accurate evaluation of the patient's cardiovascular conditions and functional capacity. Despite the multiple benefits of exercise training, there is a lack of adherence to exercise-based programs, due to socioeconomic factors, patients' characteristics, and lack of referral.
