Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) Age 18-75 years; (2) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by Simpson's biplane method on echocardiography is 35%-50%; (3) Meets the diagnostic criteria for chronic stable heart failure; (4) Patients are fully informed and have signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Acute heart failure (hemodynamically unstable); (2) Acute coronary syndrome (within 2 days of onset); (3) Resting systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg; (4) New-onset or uncontrolled severe arrhythmia (e.g., malignant ventricular arrhythmia, new-onset atrial fibrillation/flutter, frequent ventricular premature contractions (increase >5 beats/min during exercise or recovery)); (5) High-grade (second-degree type II) or third-degree atrioventricular block (without pacemaker implantation); (6) Dynamic ST-segment depression >0.1 mV in adjacent leads on electrocardiogram or severe myocardial ischemic symptoms during low-power exercise (13.9 mmol/L or ketosis); (17) After pacemaker or ICD implantation (contraindication for LIPUS); (18) Severe motor dysfunction preventing completion of the trial protocol; (19) Progressive worsening of dyspnea at rest or significant decline in exercise tolerance within the last 3–5 days; (20) Refusal to participate in the study or sign the informed consent form.
