Article Synopsis
- Conventional exercise therapy is usually not recommended for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), but this study explored the safety of a low-intensity bodyweight resistance exercise training (BRET) program for such patients.
- The BRET program included 8 exercises performed three times a week, and 78 symptomatic patients showed no harmful changes in blood pressure or heart rate across 11 sessions.
- The study found that BRET significantly improved patients' ability to perform daily activities upon hospital discharge without causing adverse events, suggesting it can be safely incorporated into cardiac rehabilitation for severe AS patients.
