Rehabilitation and Exercise Training After Hospitalization: Assessing Benefit in Acute Heart Failure (REHAB-HF) Pilot Study
Rehabilitation and Exercise Training after Hospitalization: Assessing Benefit in Acute Heart
Failure (REHAB-HF) pilot is a multi-site, randomized clinical pilot study designed to
establish the feasibility of conducting a larger clinical trial to address the hypothesis
that, in addition to standard care, a novel, progressive, multi-domain 3-month rehabilitation
intervention administered to elderly patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF)
will improve key clinical outcomes, including the rate of rehospitalization and death,
physical function, and quality of life.

Three centers,Wake Forest Baptist Health along with Thomas Jefferson University
Hospital-Co-Investigator Dr. David Whellan, and Duke Medical Center- Co-Investigator Dr.
Christopher O'Connor, will recruit a total of 60 consenting patients ≥ 60 years old
hospitalized with ADHF. Once identified and screened, the participants will be randomized in
a 1:1 fashion to receive a 3 month novel rehabilitation and exercise training intervention or
usual care. This multi-domain intervention will include endurance, mobility, strength, and
balance training and be tailored based on participant performance in each of these domains.
It will begin during the hospitalization and continue three times per week in an outpatient
facility.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 60 years old
- Hospitalized for the management of ADHF or diagnosed with ADHF after being
hospitalized for another reason. ADHF will be defined as a combination of symptoms,
signs, and HF-specific medical treatments.
Exclusion Criteria:

independently.
- Acute myocardial infarction
