EXERCISE DOES NOT DIRECTLY HELP A WEAK HEART. IF YOUR CARDIOLOGIST FEELS THAT IT IS SAVE TO EXERCISE SUCH AS WALKING ON A LEVEL AT 2.5 MILES PER HOUR , THE HEART INDIRECTLY BENEFITS BY THE CONDITIONING OF YOUR LEG MUSCLES AND BREATHING MUSCLES SO AS TO DEMAND LESS BLOOD FLOW TO CARRY OUT THE MUSCLES METABOLIC NEEDS. WHEN THE PATIENT WITH A WEAK HEART EXERCISES HE OR SHE ALSO INDIRECTLY HELPS THE HEART BY THE LOWERING OF BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD SUGAR, BAD CHOLESTEROL AND BODY FAT. THE COMMON ASSOCIATION OF DEPRESSION AND HEART FAILURE IS ALSO DECREASE BY EXERCISE. MOST SUDDEN DEATH WITH HEART FAILURE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO EXCESSIVE DEMANDS MADE ON THE WEAK HEART BY UNCONDITIONED MUSCLES WHEN THE PATIENT EXERTS HIM OR HERSELF.
