Response to Endurance Exercise Training in Older Adults with Heart Failure with Preserved or Reduced Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To systematically examine the relative magnitude and predictors of responses to exercise training in older adult with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and preserved EF (HFpEF).

Design

Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.

Participants

Individuals with HF (24 HFrEF, 24 HFpEF) who underwent supervised exercise training.

Measurements

The study included individual-level data from the exercise training arms of a randomized controlled trial that evaluated the effect of 16 weeks of supervised moderate-intensity endurance exercise training in older adults with chronic, stable HFpEF and HFrEF. Changes in peak oxygen uptake (VO_2peak ) in response to su
