Abstract
Aims: Supervised exercise can benefit selected patients with heart failure, however the effectiveness of home‐based exercise remains uncertain. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a home‐based exercise programme in addition to specialist heart failure nurse care. Methods and results: This was a randomized controlled trial of a home‐based walking and resistance exercise programme plus specialist nurse care (n = 84) compared with specialist nurse care alone (n = 85) in a heart failure population in the West Midlands, UK. Primary outcome: Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLwHFQ) at 6 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes: composite of death, hospital admission with heart failure or myocardial infarction; psychological well‐being; generic quality of life (EQ‐5D); exercise capacity. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in the MLwHFQ at 6 month (mean, 95% CI) (−2.53, −7.87 to 2.80) and 12 month (−0.55, −5.87 to 4.76) follow‐up or secondary outcomes with the exception of a higher EQ‐5D score (0.11, 0.04 to 0.18) at 6 months and lower Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score (−1.07, −2.00 to −0.14) at 12 months, in favour of the exercise group. At 6 months, the control group showed deterioration in physical activity, exercise capacity, and generic quality of life. Conclusion: Home‐based exercise training programmes may not be appropriate for community‐based heart failure patients.
