No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The benefits of exercise training in heart failure are well established. Its effects, however, have not been evaluated in Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC). The investigators hypothesis is that the exercise training may improve functional capacity, quality of life (QoL), and reduce brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients with ChC.
