Influence of Baseline Physical Activity Level on Exercise Training Response and Clinical Outcomes in Heart Failure: The HF-ACTION Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study sought to evaluate the influence of baseline physical activity (PA) on responses to aerobic exercise training and clinical events in outpatients with chronic systolic heart failure (HF) from the multicenter HF-ACTION (Exercise Training Program to Improve Clinical Outcomes in Individuals With Congestive Heart Failure) trial.

Background

The influence of baseline PA on exercise capacity, responses to exercise training and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic HF is unclear.

Methods

Of 2,130 participants who provided consent for this analysis, 1,494 patients (64%) had complete baseline PA data, using a modified version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form questionnaire and were included in the analysis; 742 received us
