In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the training effects in a training schedule in which eccentric overload training and eccentric cycle training are used. Researchers will compare a training program of eccentric overload training and eccentric cycling training with a traditional training program of strength and cardio training in people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. This study will be delivered in a cardiac rehabilitation setting.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * HFrEF patients with ejection fraction \<40% * Exercise intolerance (\<85% of predicted VO2 peak) * clinically stable for \> 6 weeks, optimal medical treatment for \> 6 weeks Exclusion Criteria: * Contra indications for cardiac exercise rehabilitation as per consensus guidelines and recommendations * Musculoskeletal disorders that hamper (progression in) strength training * Non-stabilized acute coronary syndrome * Current acute heart failure (decompensation) * Patient having sustained a recent (\<3 months) procedure that could act as a confounder to increase VO2peak (i.e., coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac resynchronization therapy, valve surgery or reparation)
