This article discusses the cardiac care and rehabilitation needs of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Research suggests that patients with CHF who are in a stable condition can undertake supervised exercise programmes. Patients are rarely prescribed exercise; however exercise in patients with CHF reduces mortality and hospital admission rates. Improvements have also been demonstrated in symptoms and quality of life. It is recommended that exercise programmes are provided and that all-cause mortality is used as an indication of treatment efficacy, because it is the most unbiased outcome measure.
本文讨论了慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者的心脏护理和康复需求。研究表明，病情稳定的CHF患者可以接受有监督的运动计划。患者很少被开具运动处方；然而，CHF患者进行运动可降低死亡率和住院率。症状和生活质量也有改善。建议提供运动计划，并将全因死亡率作为治疗效果的指标，因为它是最无偏倚的结局衡量指标。
