Exercise training affects hemodynamics and exercise capacity in cases of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a non-randomized controlled trial in individuals aged 65-80 years.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Exercise training is an established intervention method for improving exercise capacity and survival rates in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, most reports have focused on European and American patients, with limited data regarding the effects of exercise training on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and exercise capacity in East Asian patients. This study investigated the effects of exercise training on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and exercise capacity in Japanese patients aged 65-80 years with HFpEF.

Methods

This single-center, open-label, non-randomized, controlled trial prospectively enrolled 99 outpatients. Eligibility criteria for HFpEF patients were an HFA score ≥5 in addition to clinical symptoms of heart f
