About this trial

1. To determine the most suitable exercise protocol for upper extremity aerobic exercise training, a widely used type of aerobic exercise to improve reduced upper extremity functional capacity in individuals with CIED and HF. 2. To investigate whether high-intensity intermittent upper extremity aerobic exercise training provides a more effective improvement in upper extremity functional capacity compared to moderate-intensity continuous upper extremity aerobic exercise training. 3. To determine the effectiveness of different types of upper extremity aerobic exercise training compared to lower extremity aerobic training alone in individuals with CIED and HF.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients aged 18 and over with heart failure who are receiving Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

At least 3 months have passed since device implantation and there have been no complications at the last device control

Being in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III

Patients without cooperation problems

Disqualifiers

Patients who have previously participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program and those who have completed less than 1 year since the program,

Patients with a primary diagnosis of cardiomyopathy and those with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathy,

Patients with a history of shoulder pathologies that may restrict upper extremity movement before device implantation (such as severe pain around the shoulder, edema, or shoulder dislocation that restricts upper extremity movement),

Patients with a history of shoulder surgery (patients with limitations in range of motion),
