This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether doing gentle, personalized exercise at home can help people with a weakened heart and reduced kidney function. Half of participants will receive their usual medications only, while the other half will also follow a customized home exercise plan designed specifically for their heart and kidney condition. The study will measure whether exercise improves how far people can walk, how well their heart works, and their overall quality of life.
When the heart and kidneys both stop working well together, patients are often too tired or weak to participate in traditional exercise classes at a hospital or clinic. This trial exists to find out whether safe, home-based exercise—tailored to each person's ability—can help these patients improve without the barriers of traveling to appointments or struggling with complicated schedules.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to either a usual care group (medications only) or an exercise group (medications plus home-based exercise). The exercise group will receive a personalized exercise plan based on a heart fitness test, then perform tailored exercises at home for 6 months with regular follow-up check-ins. All participants will be monitored throughout the 6 months with periodic visits or phone calls to track how you're feeling, how far you can walk, and how well your heart and kidneys are functioning.
