- Abstract
The article reports on the results of research which was conducted in an effort to test the efficacy and safety of exercise training among patients with chronic heart failure. Researchers conducted a multicenter, randomized control trial of 2,331 medically stable outpatients with heart failure. Researchers found that after adjustments for high prognostic predictors of the primary end point, exercise training was associated with modest significant reductions for both all-cause mortality or hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality or heart failure hospitalization.
