Exercise limitation is the hallmark of heart failure, and an increasing degree of intolerance is associated with poor prognosis. Objective evaluation of functional class (e.g., cardiopulmonary exercise testing) is essential for adequate prognostication in patients with advanced heart failure and for implementing an appropriate exercise training program. A graded exercise program has been shown to be beneficial in patients with heart failure and has become an essential component of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation in these patients. An exercise program tailored to the patient's preferences, possibilities, and physiologic reserve has the greatest chance of being successful. Despite being safe, effective, and a guideline-recommended treatment to improve quality of life, exercise training remains grossly underutilized. Patient, physician, insurance and practice barriers need to be addressed to improve this quality gap.
运动耐力受限是心力衰竭的标志,而不耐受程度的增加与预后不良相关。对功能分级进行客观评估(如心肺运动试验)对于晚期心力衰竭患者进行充分的预后评估以及实施适当的运动训练计划至关重要。分级运动计划已被证明对心力衰竭患者有益,并已成为这些患者全面心脏康复的重要组成部分。根据患者的偏好、可能性和生理储备量身定制的运动计划成功的机会最大。尽管运动训练安全、有效且是指南推荐的改善生活质量的治疗方法,但仍未得到充分利用。需要解决患者、医生、保险和实践方面的障碍,以缩小这一质量差距。
