Recent studies have demonstrated that exercise for people with heart failure is associated with improved left ventricular function, reverse left ventricular remodeling (Giannuzzi et al 2003, Haykowsky et al 2004, Klecha et al 2007, Myers et al 2007a), and blunting of neurohumoral activation (de Mello Franco et al 2006, Gao et al 2007, Myers et al 2007b, Passino et al 2006, Wisloff et al 2007).
