What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
The paper reports a study of BNP (Nesiritide), published as a randomized controlled trial.
This study aims to explore the differences of rehabilitation effect by conducting TCEBE with the same cycle and frequency and different single exercise time for patients with CHF.
Why It Was Studied
Traditional Chinese eight brocade exercise (TCEBE) with same cycle and frequency and different durations has an effect on patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
However, relevant reports on the topic are lacking.
Who Took Part
The abstract describes 103 patients taking part.
A total of 103 patients with CHF were randomly divided into long-time group (LTG), short-time group (STG) and control group (CG).
The subjects in the three groups were given corresponding routine treatment.
How the Study Was Run
The design is described as randomized.
The patients were allocated by chance, so the BNP (Nesiritide) group and the comparison group should start out alike.
The methods mention a period of 12 weeks.
In addition, under the guidance of professional TCEBE coaches and nurses, TCEBE was conducted for 12 weeks (3 times/week) for LTG (60 min/time) and STG (30 min/time).
Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used, and 6-min walk (6MWK) and brain nautical peptide (BNP) were tested.

Our Notes on the Compound
BNP (Nesiritide): B-type natriuretic peptide, a 32-amino-acid heart hormone; nesiritide (Natrecor) is a recombinant form used in acute heart failure.
