Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of exercise training for individuals with congestive heart failure CHF
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

CHF affects approximately five million Americans and is the number one cause of hospital admission in individuals over the age of 65 Although exercise training improves several clinical measures in individuals with CHF eg peak VO2 heart rate variability and plasma norepinephrine levels it is not known whether exercise training reduces mortality in individuals with CHF

DESIGN NARRATIVE

This multicenter randomized study will determine if exercise training reduces mortality and hospitalization rates in individuals with moderate to severe CHF The secondary objective is to evaluate whether an exercise program designed for individuals with CHF improves quality of life and functioning is economically advantageous and prevents medical complications

Three thousand individuals with moderate to severe CHF will be randomly assigned to either standard medical therapy and education or standard medical therapy and education plus a supervised exercise training program The exercise training will include 36 supervised clinic-based training sessions followed by home-based exercise and periodic supervised sessions for reinforcement Participants assigned to the supervised exercise training program will use either a treadmill or stationary bicycle which will be provided for them

Recruitment Status As of November 9 2006 HF-ACTION has enrolled 2180 subjects and will conclude enrollment at the end of February 2007 with an anticipated enrollment of approximately 2300 subjects
