Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial in which participants with NYHA class II or III and symptomatic Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) (Ejection Fraction (EF) ≤ 45%) will be assigned to one of two treatment groups: standard of care or breathing therapy.

Conditions

  • Diastolic Heart Failure

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Meo Health Breathing and humming exercises

The Intervention Group will receive training on the Meo Health breathing therapy, which will include: * Being shown the Meo Health Breathing Therapy On-Boarding video * Orientation to breathing application: Participants will be assisted in downloading and customizing the Breathe application. * Zoom tutorial: Participants will be assisted in setting up and navigating Zoom application for use with the Meo Health breathing coach. Within one month of the baseline visit, participants in the intervention group will have a 20 minute one-on-one training session with the Meo Health breathing coach. This will mark the beginning of their respiratory training intervention. A 3 month visit will occur 3 months (± 14 days) from the one-on-one training session for participants in the intervention group. A 6 month visit will occur 6 months (± 14 days) from the one-on-one training session for participants in the intervention group.
