Effects of Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation on Healthcare Utilization in HeartMate 3 Patients

Based on physical therapist or exercise physiologist assessment, subjects will receive an individualized exercise prescription for frequency, duration, and intensity of walking and strength training (including exercises using light-weight hand-weights and upper and lower body exercises using resistance bands). Research team will provide updated exercise prescription based on Garmin watch/Datos app activity data and Datos app data (including Borg scale).

Patients receive a standardized recommendation to increase their walking activity to 30 minutes 5 days/week.
