摘要

Heart failure (HF) prevention is an urgent public health need with coronary artery disease, hypertension, dilated cardiomyopathy, and a growing elderly population increasing the prevalence of HF. Management of HF involves multiple medications, lifestyle modification, and control of risk factors. Aerobic exercise (AE) has become more accepted in HF treatment as information regarding its safety and benefits has emerged. AE enhances peak VO2, improves muscle oxygen utilization, increases exercise duration, reduces sympathetic and increases vagal tone at rest, improves endothelial function, reduces plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines, improves symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue, and improves quality of life in persons with HF. As a universal exercise prescription for HF patients does not exist, an individualized approach is recommended allowing for adjustments in the exercise program as necessary. Though there is need for further study, AE is more accepted and utilized in the treatment of persons with HF and should be viewed as a complement to rather than replacement of the lifestyle modification, pharmacological therapy, and physician follow-up. Introduction The prevention of heart failure (HF) has emerged as an urgent public health need with national and global implications with an estimated 550,000 new cases diagnosed each year and over 5 million Americans with HF (1). HF is a lethal condition that has emerged as a leading cause of hospitalizations with 6.5 million hospital days each year, over $33 billion spent on its treatment in 2007, and an estimated annual mortality of 21% in men and 17% in women (1,2). One factor increasing the prevalence and incidence of HF is the growth in the elderly population (>65 years of age) which is expected to grow to 70.3 million in 2030 (1). The management of HF typically involves multiple medications, lifestyle modification, and control of risk factors that increase the prevalence or worsen the course of HF. In the past, patients with HF were advised to avoid physical exertion in the belief that resting would minimize symptoms and exertion would accelerate the progression of left ventricular dysfunction (2). As information has become available regarding the safety and benefits of aerobic exercise (AE) in persons with HF, AE has become more widely accepted as a valuable component in the treatment of persons with HF (2,3). AE has been shown to enhance peak VO2, improve muscle oxygen utilization, increase exercise duration, reduce sympathetic and increase vagal tone at rest, improve endothelial function, reduce plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines, improve symptoms of dyspnea and fatigue, and improve quality of life (QOL) in persons with HF (2,3). This EBM paper will evaluate if aerobic exercise has a role in the treatment of a patient with heart failure. Background HF is a complex syndrome that may result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood with the cardinal symptoms being fatigue and shortness of breath. HF can also manifest as limited exercise capacity or fluid retention that may lead to pulmonary congestion, peripheral edema, and shortened life expectancy. HF was thought to arise as a result of depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (EF); however, studies have shown that up to half of patients with HF have a normal or preserved EF (4). Therefore, patients with HF may be categorized as having either systolic heart failure (a depressed ejection fraction) or diastolic heart failure (a preserved ejection fraction). Left ventricular dysfunction is a progressive process that begins with an injury or stress to the myocardium resulting in a change in the geometry and structure of the left ventricle causing the chamber to dilate and/or hypertrophy and become more spherical. Patients with left ventricular dysfunction may remain asymptomatic for months or years due to several compensatory mechanisms bei
