Our re-meta-analysis indicated that TCEs were associated with substantially longer 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) values, improved QoL measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), reduced B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, and enhanced maximal oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>max). Here, NPPB is linked to heart failure.
