Relationship of Cardiovascular and Muscular Capacity to Daily Functioning in Frail Older Adults
Diastolic heart failure is now being recognized as a key form of heart failure in older
people. The focus of this research is to study ways to improve and maintain physical
activity and functioning. This knowledge may improve the health and well-being in people
with diastolic heart failure.
people. The focus of this research is to study ways to improve and maintain physical
activity and functioning. This knowledge may improve the health and well-being in people
with diastolic heart failure.
The purpose of this project is to better understand how endurance and fatigue relate to
performing daily activities and how we might better improve endurance and reduce fatigue
through an exercise program.
