Channel 3000 had an interview at the beginning of October with Zorba Paster, a physician at Oregon Dean Clinic and radio show host. During the interview, Paster shares the results of a major study on exercise and heart failure. A group of epidemiologist took 12 superb studies on exercise and heart failure and found tremendous results. These 12 studies included over 300,000 patients. The studies concluded that, more exercise produced a tremendous drop in deaths from heart failure by 10-30% based on doing more exercise. Instead of doing maybe 20 minutes a day, going up to 30-40 minutes a day showed improvement. Exercising 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening is good, but that is not enough for heart failure patients. It should really be 20-30 minutes a day because heart failure is a leading cause of death. (CITE HEREEEEEE—channel 3000)

Heart failure is when the heart cannot keep up with its metabolic needs and eventually cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to the body. (cite—interview on channel 3000) Heart failure often results after conditions that have damaged or weakened the heart muscle.
