Motivational interviewing can support physical activity in elderly patients with diastolic heart failure: results from a pilot study
ConclusionsThe results from this pilot study suggest that our MI intervention was well accepted by participants and deemed feasible. It also appears to be an effective treatment to increase and maintain physical activity and exercise capacity in patients suffering from HFpEF. Our findings need to be confirmed in a randomized clinical trial with larger and unselected patient cohorts.
