Background Prolonged dialysis can lead patients to multiple complications, with heart failure being the most dangerous and leading cause of death among patients. Concurrently, exercise has been shown improve several indicators function. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases. The limited studies published between January 2010 July 2024. Results (1) Compared conventional care, significantly increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in (MD = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.15–2.84, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed that combined aerobic resistance led a more substantial increase LVEF compared 2.78, 1.17–4.38, Each workout lasting than 30 min associated significant sessions or less 2.5, CI:0.57–4.43, An intervention cycle 10 12 weeks resulted cycles longer 3.36, 2.04–4.68, weekly frequency three times per week improved 2.73, 1.21–4.25, (2) In comparison effectively reduced mass index (LVMI) −7.93, −14.67--1.19, 0.02). However, interventions did not demonstrate statistically improvements pulse wave velocity (PWV), end-systolic volume (LVESV), end-diastolic (LVEDV). Conclusion Exercise enhance decrease LVMI no were observed PWV, LVESV, LVEDV. subgroup indicated combination had better effect on improving exercise, each for min, an weeks, effective LVEF.
