METHODS 329 HF patients, enrolled between 2009 and 2016, received multidisciplinary disease management program (MDP). They had cardiopulmonary exercise test for peak exercise capacity (VO2peak), echocardiographic examination for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and LV end-systolic diameter (LVESD), b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and quality of life questionnaire. HF patients with LVEF≤ 40% (HFrEF) and HF patients with LVEF> 40% (HFpEF) underwent≥ 36 times of HIIT. HFrEF and HFpEF patients were classified as the MDP group. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to estimate the interaction between time and VO2peak, LVEF, LVEDD, LVESD, and BNP during the follow-up. Survival analysis was conducted to assess effects of HIIT on the long-term survival of HF during at end of the study.
