Heart Failure, Diastolic
Conditions
Brief summary
Exercise training is an effective therapy for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, it is unclear, whether a one-year intervention has a sustainable effect beyond the active study phase. Hence, this study is a long-term follow-up of patients that were recruited for the OptimEx-Clin and Ex-DHF trials in Munich.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in peak oxygen consumption (mL/kg/min) | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in ventilation-to-carbon-dioxide production slope | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) | — |
| Change in E/e' | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) | — |
| Change in oxygen consumption at the first ventilatory threshold (mL/kg/min) | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) | — |
| Change in quality of life | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) | Changes in Short Form-36 questionnaire (patients from Ex-DHF, scale 0-100, higher is better) and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionaire - Quality of Life domain (patients from OptimEx, scale 0-100, higher is better) will be combined using the standardized mean difference |
| Time to first cardiovascular event | From Last Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 3.3 to 8.2 years) | — |
| Change in left ventricular ejection fraction (%) | From Baseline Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 4.6 to 9.1 years) | — |
