Gender related predictors of limited exercise capacity in heart failure
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gender on the prediction of limited exercise capacity in heart failure (HF) patients assessed by 6 minute walk test (6-MWT). Methods In 147 HF patients (mean age 61 ± 11 years, 50.3% male), a 6-MWT and a Doppler echocardiographic study were performed in the same day. Conventional cardiac measurements were obtained and global LV dyssyn...
متن کاملDeterminants and Correlates of Exercise Capacity in Heart Failure.
T he heart, lungs, blood, vasculature, and skeletal muscle integrate in a complex way to allow humans to interact with their environment, through locomotion and other forms of physical exercise (1). This interaction becomes challenged in people with the clinical syndrome of heart failure (HF) (2). In addition to the very reasonable desire to live longer, people with HF also want to be able to d...
متن کاملExercise capacity and prognosis in chronic heart failure.
The association among fitness, health, and longevity is probably as old as there are historical records. The writings of the classic Greek physicians Herodicus, Hippocrates, and Galen are replete with references to fitness, and each believed that a healthy body was a prerequisite for mental well-being.1 The US founding fathers were also conscious of the importance of fitness. Benjamin Franklin ...
متن کامل[Echocardiographic predictors of exercise capacity in patients with heart failure and systolic dysfunction: role of mitral regurgitation].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Patients with heart failure and similar left ventricular systolic dysfunction have differing exercise capacity. The aim of this study was to identify echocardiographic predictors of exercise capacity in patients with heart failure and systolic dysfunction. METHODS We included 150 patients with class II (70%) or III (30%) heart failure with left ventricular ejection...
متن کاملExercise training in heart failure improves quality of life and exercise capacity.
AIMS Benefit from exercise training in heart failure has mainly been shown in men with ischaemic disease. We aimed to examine the effects of exercise training in heart failure patients < or = 75 years old of both sexes and with various aetiology. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-four patients with stable mild-to-moderate heart failure were randomized to exercise or control, and 49 completed the stud...
