The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on N-terminal Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide and Cardiopulmonary Function in Patients with Heart Failure: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Aerobic exercise (AEx) improves outcomes in heart failure (HF). N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is a prognosticator in HF. There are few data on the association of AEx, NT-pro-BNP, and cardiopulmonary function; hence, robust evidence is needed. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of AEx on NT-pro-BNP levels and cardiopulmonary function in HF.
