About

Exercise training is an effective therapy for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, it is unclear, whether a one-year intervention has a sustainable effect beyond the active study phase. Hence, this study is a long-term follow-up of patients that were recruited for the OptimEx-Clin and Ex-DHF trials in Munich.

Enrollment: 74 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients that were previously randomized to OptimEx-Clin or Ex-DHF in Munich
• Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

• Pregnancy / breastfeeding

Trial design

74 participants in 2 patient groups

Former Exercise Training

Description:

Patients that were randomized to high-intensity-interval training, moderate continuous training (OptimEx-Clin) or moderate continuous training + resistance training (Ex-DHF)

Former Control

Description:

Patients that were randomized to guideline control (OptimEx-Clin) or usual care (Ex-DHF)
