Heart Failure, Diastolic

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.

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in ventilation-to-carbon-dioxide production slopeFrom 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 lifeFrom 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 eventFrom Last Visit of Ex-DHF / OptimEx to Long-Term Follow-Up (between 3.3 to 8.2 years)
