About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether music changes how much exercise people with systolic heart failure can do. Systolic heart failure means the heart does not pump blood as strongly as it should. The study is for people with this condition who are having a test of how their heart and lungs work during exercise.
The study aims to assess the effect of music on the heart resulting in a change in their exercise capacity among systolic heart failure patients undergoing Cardiopulmonary Exercise testing.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
