As issued by the authors

  1. Supervised exercise training improves exercise capacity in chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by a comparable or larger magnitude than in HFrEF, although Medicare reimbursement is available only for HFrEF

  2. Trials of exercise-based interventions have consistently shown large, significant, clinically meaningful improvements in symptoms, objectively determined exercise capacity and usually quality of life
