BOOST: Blended Onsite and Offsite Structured Exercise Training and Coaching (NCT07413198)

A Novel, Group-mediated Exercise Intervention With Remote Activity Monitoring in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a major public health burden that is both growing rapidly and has few effective therapies. Supervised exercise training (SET) is one of the few effective therapies for older patients with HFpEF, but is currently constrained by cost, resource limitations, and sub-optimal short and long-term clinical response. The objective is to develop and test novel strategies to augment the therapy of exercise training to optimize response and resource utilization in older patients with HFpEF.
