Question
Hi doctor,
I have heart failure grade 2. I tried push-ups but couldn't do more than 10 and found it difficult to breathe. So the doctor asked me to ask how physically active men with heart failure should be? Should you do strength training exercises like push-ups to improve your health? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How physically active should men with heart failure level 2 be? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Moderate physical activity is a good measure to improve health. Class II (NYHA class) heart failure is not a contraindication to exercise. You need to know clearly about your medical condition such as the cause of heart failure, how is your current condition, functional testing results or treatment methods to give accurate advice.
If you still have questions about men with grade 2 heart failure, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
