Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common condition with a poor prognosis. It is associated with poor exercise tolerance and debilitating symptoms. These symptoms appear to be associated with pathophysiological changes that occur systemically in the patient with CHF. Exercise training in carefully selected patients has been shown to be safe and to improve exercise capacity. Many of the pathophysiological abnormalities of CHF are improved by training. Some studies have suggested a possible improvement in morbidity and mortality with training. This review analyzes the controlled clinical trials of exercise training in CHF published to date. Keywords: exercise tolerance, exercise training, heart failure, rehabilitation

Introduction
functional abnormalities of skeletal muscle than to ventricular dysfunction per se [1]. Similarly, dyspnea appears to be more closely related to enhanced ventilatory effort than pulmonary congestion in most well-treated non-edematous patients [2]. This may be related to augmented reflex control systems, such as the arterial chemoreflexes and the muscle ergoreflexes (metaboreflexes) [3,4].
The severity of symptomatic exercise limitation varies between patients with CHF and appears to be unrelated to the extent of left ventricular systolic dysfunction at rest. Peripheral changes commonly occur in patients with CHF and have been implicated in the development of symptoms in this condition. The reason for fatigue in CHF has been more readily attributed to persistent vasoconstrictor drive, endothelial dysfunction, and a wide range of structural and
Interest has been shown in the possibility that some forms of exercise therapy, either localized or systemic, could benefit the peripheral manifestations of CHF and thereby modify the symptoms of patients with CHF. Recently it has even been suggested that regular training could have beneficial effects on disease progression and survival. This review looks at the controlled clinical trial evidence for the role of exercise therapy in the management of patients

primary research
Chronic heart failure is a common condition with a poor prognosis. It is associated with debilitating limiting symptoms even with optimal modern medical management. One of the most prominent symptoms of CHF is severe exercise intolerance with marked fatigue and dyspnea at low exercise workloads.
