Overview[edit | edit source]

Patient should have uninterrupted exercise at least four days a week including a walking program.
Patients with heart failure should avoid weightlifting which increases afterload.
The patient should not routinely lift more than 20 pounds, again which may increase afterload.
Patients can continue their sexual activity. 2.5 or 5.0 mg of sublingual nitroglycerine can be taken before sexual activity to improve exercise capacity.

Initial Clinical Assessment of Patients Presenting With Heart Failure (DO NOT EDIT) ^[1]^[2][edit | edit source]

Class I
"1. In patients presenting with heart failure, initial assessment should be made of the patient’s ability to perform routine and desired activities of daily living. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Serial Clinical Assessment of Patients Presenting With Heart Failure (DO NOT EDIT) ^[1]^[2][edit | edit source]

Class I
"1. Assessment should be made at each visit of the ability of a patient with heart failure to perform routine and desired activities of daily living. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Exercise training in Patients Presenting With Heart Failure (DO NOT EDIT) ^[1]^[2][edit | edit source]

Class I
1. Exercise or regular physical activity is beneficial in prevention of CVD and HF. (Class I, Level of Evidence: B)
2. Exercise training (or regular physical activity) is recommended as safe and effective for patients with HF who are able to participate to improve functional status. (Class I, Level of Evidence: A)

Class IIa
"1. Maximal exercise testing with or without measurement of respiratory gas exchange is reasonable to facilitate prescription of an appropriate exercise program for patients presenting with heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C)"
