Article Synopsis
- The study found that a 3-month supervised exercise program significantly improved exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure.
- The training led to notable increases in exercise duration, peak oxygen consumption (VO2), and anaerobic threshold, while also decreasing NT pro-BNP levels, which indicate better heart function.
- Results suggest that regular physical training can enhance functional ability and potentially improve clinical outcomes for heart failure patients.
