• Hemodynamic instability caused by poorly controlled arrhythmias.
• Severe heart failure and high-degree atrioventricular block, and inadequate heart rate response to pacing during exercise.
• Isolated pulmonary hypertension.
• Stage 5 chronic kidney failure, defined as glomerular filtration rate <15 ml/(min·1.73m²) or requiring dialysis.
• Late-stage diseases other than heart failure.
• Any medical history that could potentially affect protocol compliance, such as severe mental disorders, severe cognitive impairment, substance abuse, or addiction.

Laborértékek
