About this study
This study is being done because the investigators are trying to understand how feedback from the muscles can influence your blood pressure and breathing during exercise, and if the investigators can reduce this response in heart failure patients. The investigators are also trying to determine ways to improve tolerance to exercise in heart failure patients.
