Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients admitted to the acute medical units of the trial hospital with an acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure (CHF)
  • 2\. Able to give informed consent
  • 3\. Aged 40 \- 90 years
  • 4\. Patients admitted with an established diagnosis of CHF (documented left ventricular systolic dysfunction \[LVSD]) will be independently assessed for suitability
  • 5\. Patients will have received optimal medical management
  • 6\. Impaired exercise tolerance (New York Heart Association \[NYHA] classifications II \- IV)

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients admitted for planned surgery
  • 2\. Patients with musculoskeletal or neuromuscular condition that significantly contributes to exercise limitation
  • 3\. Psychiatric or neurological conditions that would render the patient unable to comply with the training either in hospital or at home
  • 4\. Patients who have a new diagnosis of heart failure on admission will be excluded as they are likely to need ongoing medical management (i.e. establishing the correct drug regimen) and probably won?t display the same declines in physical activity as those with established chronic heart failure.
  • 5\. Usual exclusion criteria to our current out\-patient exercise programme will apply:
  • 5\.1\. Unstable ischaemic heart disease
  • 5\.2\. Myocardial infarction (MI) within the previous 3 weeks
