Depression is a leveled and independent risk factor for hospital readmission, decreased function, and patient mortality for patients with CHF. Major depressive disorder can be diagnosed in CHF patients who frequently suffer from sleeplessness, fatigue, and neurovegetative manifestations that extend to depressed patients.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise (MICAE) on the depression status in patients with CHF.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Between June and September 2017, 46 patients with CHF who suffered from depression were selected for this study. These patients aged 40 to 60 years, were medically diagnosed with CHF-related illnesses, and physical disabilities. The participating patients were selected from the psychological medicine unit of the University Hospitals. They were randomly classified into 2 groups, each group included 23 patients. The study group underwent MICAE (MICAE) 3 times weekly for 12 weeks, whereas the control group received traditional intervention without any physical exercise.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There were no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding baseline characteristics (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a\n                                 <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">&gt;<\/jats:italic>.05).
