Symptomatic HF was confirmed if the patients had at least 1 of the new-onset or worsening HF symptoms (dyspnea, decreased exercise tolerance, fatigue, other symptoms of worsened end-organ perfusion or volume overload) as well as 1 of the following criteria: 1) at least 2 physical examination...

The optimal use of beta-blockers has been demonstrated to improve symptoms, reduce hospitalizations, improve left ventricular function, and enhance survival in chronic HF patients with reduced ejection fraction17,18. Despite the proven benefit of beta blockers in chronic HF, they are often under...
Exercise has been previously shown to modestly improve quality of life and symptoms in patients with permanent AF, but with use of a different health status measure (Short Form-36) 21, 27. The use of different instrument scales to assess health status and different types of exercise ...
