ABSTRACT
Heart failure (HF) is a common cause of hospitalization and death, and the hallmark symptoms of HF, including dyspnea, fatigue, and exercise intolerance, contribute to poor patient quality of life (QoL). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive disease management program incorporating exercise training, cardiovascular risk factor management, and psychosocial support. CR has been demonstrated to effectively improve patient functional status and QoL among patients with HF. However, CR participation among patients with HF is poor. This review details the mechanisms of dyspnea and exercise intolerance among patients with HF, the physiologic and clinical improvements observed with CR, and the key components of a CR program for patients with HF. Furthermore, unmet needs and future strategies to improve patient participation and engagement in CR for HF are reviewed.
