This study of 80 chronic heart failure (CHF) patients found that combining walking with respiratory training significantly improved cardiac function (lower HR, LVEDD, LVESD; higher LVEF), pulmonary function (higher FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC), and activity tolerance (increased 6-minute walking distance) compared to standard rehabilitation. This combined approach shows promise for aiding management of CHF in patients.
