Summary

This study looked at whether a 4-week at-home exercise program, started right after leaving the hospital, could help people with a type of heart failure (HFpEF) walk farther and feel stronger. Eight patients took part, using a device that stimulates muscles while they exercised at home. The goal was to see if this approach could preserve or improve physical function during a vulnerable recovery period.
