Effects of Physical Training in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure
To Evaluate Whether a Rehabilitation Protocol Improves Functional Status and Exercise Tolerance in Hospitalized Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation While Receiving Positive Inotropic Support. Functional Tests and Scales Will be Used for Assessment. Patients Will Follow an 8-week Rehabilitation Program With Aerobic and Resistance Exercises Distributed Throughout the Week. A New Evaluation Will be Conducted at the End of the Intervention. Keywords: Heart Failure; Heart Transplantation; Physical Exercise

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively. This can happen due to changes in the heart's structure or function, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced ability to exercise. These symptoms often worsen the patient's quality of life and increase hospital visits. Exercise is known to help people with heart failure by improving blood flow to the muscles and increasing physical strength. Starting exercise early, even during hospitalization, may help prevent the negative effects of being inactive and improve recovery. Some patients with advanced heart failure may need a heart transplant. While waiting for a transplant, these patients often receive intravenous medications to support heart function. However, they may become weaker and lose physical capacity during this time. This study will test whether a supervised exercise program during hospitalization can help improve physical ability and exercise tolerance in patients with advanced heart failure who are on the heart transplant waiting list and receiving intravenous medication. The goal is to help these patients stay stronger and more stable while they wait for a transplant.
