To heart 2 vn5/17/2023 “Improvement in the cardiopulmonary reserve is what was observed across almost the whole subset of trials, so it looks like the type of exercise is not that important,” she added. While this was not all achieved in the same trial, it was pretty consistent across these trials as to effect,” Guglin told TCTMD. “We came across improved consumption of oxygen-or improved peak VO 2-increased exercise time, increased 6-minute walk distance, and improved quality of life. Most of the exercise-based therapies, though not all, were associated with some improvement in functional endpoints. The committee reviewed a range of RCTs, which varied significantly in exercise type and duration from walking a few times a week on or off a treadmill, to walking with arm aerobics, biking, and even dancing. “This is a very common question that patients ask because they are symptomatic with physical exertion and they become concerned that physical activity can somehow harm them,” said Maya Guglin, MD, PhD (Indiana University Health, Indianapolis), a co-author of the document. Moreover, for HFpEF patients and their physicians, the statement offers reassurance that supervised exercise therapy is safe. Supervised exercise training such as walking and biking can yield functional and quality of life benefits in patients who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), surpassing what can be gained with medications alone, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC).
