Exercise Mode in Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Optimising exercise prescription in heart failure (HF) with a preserved (HFpEF) or reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction is clinically important. As such, the aim of this meta-analysis was to compare traditional moderate intensity training (MIT) against combined aerobic and resistance training (CT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for improving aerobic capacity (VO₂), as well as other clinically relevant parameters.

Methods

A comprehensive systematic search was performed to identify randomised controlled trials published between 1990 and May 2021. Research trials reporting the effects of MIT against CT or HIIT on peak VO₂ in HFpEF or HFrEF were considered. Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and various markers of diastolic funct
