Begin slow, supervis: Regular aerobic exercise is actually very good for patients with heart failure, and recent studies have shown it to be safe and increase well-being. Ideally, begin a program in an outpatient cardiac rehab program, with nurses monitoring vital signs. It is best to start slowly and build up gradually in any circumstance.
