hi if you google “LVSD and Exercise NHS” it comes up with lots of nhs based advice which might be helpful till someone comes on here and can advise.

Apologies if you have already googled as above, google isn’t always a bad thing 😊

Hi there, I have left ventricular systolic dysfunction (aka heart failure). During my cardiac rehab I was given parameters to keep within for exercising. My heart rate was to be minimum 105bpm and maximum 115bpm. Everyone will be different but I can easily achieve this with brisk walking, which I do at least 5 days a week for a minimum 30 minutes, usually more. I would consult your medical team and ask for their advice.
