Summary

Despite scientific advances in treatment, patients with heart failure experience daily distressing symptoms and mortality rates are high. Although standard exercise improves numerous physical and psychological symptoms in heart failure patients, exercise participation rates are very low because of exercise barriers. Our research is aimed at understanding whether home-based gentle types of exercise such as yoga, delivered via video-conference, are beneficial in patients with heart failure. Challenging conventional strategies and breaking down barriers to care by testing new types of exercise delivered via tele-health (ipads) are urgently needed to improve the distressing symptoms that heart failure patients face daily.
