A member asked:
Will cardio help my dad get better and possibly be stronger again with his chf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it will: Cardiac rehabilitation with regular exercise will not make his heart stronger but will make his other muscles more efficient, use less oxygen, improve their tone, strength, endurance, and improve his quality of life, and improve his overall prognosis.
