Determinants of physical fitness in males with systolic heart failure.

Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2010, Vol 68, Issue 2

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a systemic disease which affects mainly older adults. The main symptom of HF is exercise intolerance which in the course of disease can cause limitations in independent functioning. So far no study on the impact of HF on physical fitness in men, regardless of disease severity, has been reported.
