Baseline information was obtained at recruitment or before the intervention. Values are mean (95% confidence interval, CI) or n (%). ACEI: angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor; ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker; BMI: body mass index; BNP: b-type natriuretic peptide; BP: blood pressure; bpm, beats per minute; CAD: coronary artery disease, DBP: diastolic blood pressure; DCM: dilated cardiomyopathy; DM: diabetes mellitus; F/M: female/male; F/U: follow-up; HFrEF: heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%; HFpEF: heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction >40%; HIIT: high-intensity interval training; HR: heart rate; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; MDP: multidisciplinary disease management program; MRA: mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; NYHA: New York Heart Association; SBP: systolic blood pressure. a 79 subjects in exercise and 60 subjects in non-exercise groups received baseline BNP examinations. b Statistical significance was assessed by Student’s t-test.
