Brief summary

Aim of the clinical monocentric study is to assess the resistance training exercise intervention in patients with Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and coronary artery disease that will best improve peak oxygen uptake (Peak Vo2) and leg strength (assessed Isokinetic). The investigators hypothesize that resistance training exercise with induced a high stress metabolic is more important exercise with induced than a lower stress metabolic.

Change in hand grip force after 3 monthsBaseline and 3 monthsChange in hand grip force on non dominant hand at baseline and 3 months intervention
Change in ventilation metaboreflex function after 3 monthsBaseline and 3 monthsChange in ventilation during metaboreflex test at baseline and 3 months intervention (Briefly, the subject is asked to exercise with the non-dominant arm by performing two 5 min handgrip manoeu- vres reaching approximately 50% of pre-determined maximal con- traction, in random order, separated by a 30 min interval: one bout with circulatory occlusion during the last 10 s of exercise and the all 3 min recovery phase ('clamp session'). During the clamp session, forearm cuff inflation to 30 mmHg above systolic blood pressure from the last 10 s of exercise till the end of the 3 min recovery phase; after cuff inflation, the subject is instructed to relax. Ergore- ceptor sensitivity is quantified as the percentage of the ventilatory and haemodynamic response to exercise maintained by circulatory occlusion during the third minute compared with the third minute of basal recovery.)
