Exercise training in patients with advanced heart failure and left ventricular assist device (Ex-VAD) trial. Aims Small studies and observations suggested that exercise training may improve peak oxygen consumption (peakVO 2 ) in patients with advanced heart failure and left ventricular assist device (LVAD). m (95% CI 16.9,
Cardiovascular diseases pose a major threat to human life, functional activity, and quality of life. There is a consensus on the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in improving patients’ quality of life, enhancing functional activity, and reducing mortality.
This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heart failure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life.

Pulmonary vascular resistance at rest and exercise decreased with higher BMI. Overall, 60.9% of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.
