Current Connection 2.1

In the article ‘Intensive' exercise may benefit heart failure patients posted by Reuters, it talks about people who are at risk for heart failure or very bad heart problems can get better by exercising.

Now you may think I am crazy when I say this, but it is a proven fact that exercise can benefit heart failure patients. " 23-percent improvement in heart function after taking part in relatively high-intensity exercise programs." Exercising will get your heart as healthy has a 5 years kids heart if you exercise enough.


Running around the medical rooms, heart patients try to strengthen their hearts. Heart Failure, a nasty disease with so cure, that effects the body greatly, is very serious and we need to do anything we can to make the length of someone's life. Many people though do not want to participate in the program because it may scare them because of their bad hearts, but there is no cure so it doesn't hurt to try.

Helping the patients, the doctors have them do multiple exercises and test their oxygen. Studies show that the people who do the high intensive exercises, their oxygen levels have improved greatly within the 4 to 52 weeks of doing this program. Also the patients notice that they are less tired and want to be active more.

Improving their strength, the patients start to change the odds in their lives. The patients who are doing these exercises have shown that  by doing the exercises reducing the deaths in heart patients.  There maybe not be a lot of evidence for us to just start exercising the sick patients, but from what we have I think its a good start. If we can save many lives by doing this I think its a good idea.
