Adherence
Exercise training (ET), including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training, improves functional status, exercise capacity, and quality of life in HFpEF patients.
If you have HFpEF, engage in regular exercise training, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate-intensity continuous training. This improves your exercise capacity, quality of life, and heart function. It is safe and recommended by guidelines.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
The ACC guidelines recommends that exercise training (ET) can improve functional status in individuals with HFpEF... Accumulating evidence indicates that ET improves diastolic function, cardiorespiratory fitness, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in HFpEF patients.
Why this rating
Based on multiple prospective clinical studies and a meta-analysis of RCTs.
