HF Action Trial


fraction ≤35 percent and NYHA class II to
IV HF

Randomly assigned to either a supervised
exercise training program or usual care
including education and recommendation
of regular exercise

Significant reduction in cardiovascular
mortality or HF hospitalizations

High level of safety during and after the
training sessions


Exercise recommendations

Patients with stable class II to class III HF
who do not have advanced arrhythmias,
and who do not have other limitations to
exercise

Exercise intensity of 70 percent of heart
rate reserve, three days per week for six to
eight weeks

Longer warm-up period

Begin at 40 to 60 percent VO2max for
intervals of two to six minutes separated by
one to two minutes of rest

Gradually increase length of the exercise
interval by one to two minutes until the
patient tolerates 30 minutes of continuous
exercise
Self care

Actions aimed at maintaining physical
activity, avoidance of behaviors that can
worsen the condition and detection of the
early symptoms of deterioration

Linked to symptom control, functional
capacity, QOL, hospital admissions,
prognosis, reduced mortality

Preferred timing of referral is during the
hospital stay for the transplant event

For patients on home inotropic therapy, a
monitored program in a cardiac
rehabilitation center
Pre-transplantation

For patients on inotropic support who are
being monitored hemodynamically, activity
will vary depending upon patient mobility

Limited data suggest that exercise training
may be beneficial in patients who receive a
left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a
bridge to transplantation
Immediate post-op


pacer wires, passive and active range of
motion plus incentive spirometry

Once out of bed in a chair, leg raising and
hip girdle exercises

ambulation is initiated

bicycle ergometer and/or treadmill.

Hemoglobin

Direct relationship with exercise capacity

Treatment with erythropoesis-stimulating
agents (i.e., erythropoietin) improves exercise
capacity and VO2 peak
Strength training and resistance exercises

Intrinsic muscle changes contribute more to
poor performance than do limitation in oxygen
supply

1997 study showed strength training alone
can improve VO2 peak in CKD patients
Psychological stressors and
adjustments

Higher stress levels

Alteration in social and role responsibilities,
dependence and interdependence issues
and uncertainty about the future

Intensify as CKD progresses and need for
renal replacement therapy draws nearer

Cardiac rehabilitation provides an
opportunity to foster coping skills and help
patients adjust to these stressful changes
Dietary counseling

Maintenance of optimal nutrition

Prevent or minimize metabolic
derangements of CKD

Retard the progression of renal failure

orthopedic stress; and is accessible, convenient
enjoyable

Start low and individually progress according to
tolerance and preference

Measured peak heart rate preferable to agepredicted heart rate because of underlying CAD


Begin first 8 weeks with little resistance

One-set of 8-10 multi-jointed exercises that
include all major muscle groups

