Title: REHAB-HF: A Trial of Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients
Brief Summary: REHAB-HF: A Trial of Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients, is a multicenter, randomized, attention-controlled, single-blind trial designed to examine the hypothesis that, in addition to standard care, a novel, tailored, progressive, multi-domain rehabilitation intervention administered to older patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) beginning early during hospitalization and continuing for 12 weeks will improve physical function and key clinical outcomes, including the rate of rehospitalization.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Heart failure clinical score greater than or equal to 3
* Age 60 and over
* Normal ejection fraction greater than or equal to 50%
* BMI greater than or equal to 30

Exclusion Criteria:

* Valvular heart disease
* Significant change in cardiac medication \<4 weeks
* Uncontrolled hypertension
* Recent or debilitating stroke
* Cancer or other noncardiovascular conditions with life expectancy less than 2 years

* Known etiology,
* Able to do the performance test on treadmil or bicycle in order to have rehabilitation.
* No clinical avoidance reasons.
* Patient with health care registration.
* Agreement from the general practictioner and from the cardiologist that follows the patient.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age below 18 years old,
* Unstable heart failure,
* Unable to do a performance test as indicated above,
* Patients not able to understand clinical counseling.
* Patient under tutella.
* Pregnancy.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age greater than or equal to 60 years of age
* Symptoms of congestive heart failure
* Able to understand and give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age \<60 years
* Does not have CHF
* Significant change in cardiac medication \<3 weeks
* Myocardial infarction \<3 weeks
* CABG surgery \<3 months
* Angina pectoris not controlled during daily activity by pharmacological therapy or at \<4 METS activity
* Sustained hypertension with systolic\> 190 and diastolic\> 110 on medications
* Valvular heart disease as the primary etiology of CHF
* Significant aortic stenosis
* Stroke of \<3 months or with any physical restriction impairment that would prevent participation in exercise programs
* Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on therapy that limits exercise duration
* Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
* Active treatment for cancer or other noncardiovascular conditions with life expectancy less than three years
* Anemia "10 gms Hb)
* Renal insufficiency (cr \>2.5 mg/dl)
* Psychiatric disease - uncontrolled major psychoses, depressions, dementia, or personality disorder
* Dementia - MMSE \~24 "22 for \~8th grade education)
* Lack of an acoustic window sufficient to allow definition of endocardial borders on the screening echocardiogram.
* Plans to leave area or be admitted to a nursing home within 2 years.
* Inability to walk at least 420 feet in 6 minutes without a cane or other assistive device.
* Inability to exercise at or near home.
* At the discretion of the clinical staff, it is believed that the participant cannot or will not complete the protocol because of frailty, illness, or other reason.
* Participation in a regular exercise regimen more than one time per week for at least twenty minutes per session; including but not limited to walking, swimming, weight lifting, golfing, or taking an exercise class.
* Inability to ambulate without cane or other assistive device during biomechanics testing or treadmill.
