Exercise training group patients underwent 12 weeks of exercise training: walking for up to 30 min (intensity 50-70% HR reserve + HR at rest) and warm-up and cooling-down exercising, three times a week. Patients were randomized to inactive control group (ICG = 19) or exercise training group (ETG = 21). ![]() ![]() All patients were assessed, at baseline and at the end of the study, by exercise test (VO(2) and exercise time), six-minute walk test (6MWT), Goldman Specific Activity Scale (SAS), HQoL, and BNP levels. This randomized, controlled, single-blind trial included 40 patients with ChC (age 49.5 +/- 7.8 years, 57.5% male) who did not practice regular exercise. We sought to determine the effects of exercise training on functional capacity, health-related quality of life (HQoL), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients with ChC. The effects of exercise training in chronic heart failure are well established, however, they have not been evaluated in Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC).
