Study Summary

The study objectives are to determine the effectiveness of structured access to a Wii game computer compared to motivational support only in heart failure patients on exercise capacity and daily activity. Secondly, to determine the effectiveness of structured access to a Wii game computer compared to motivational support only in heart failure patients on the combined endpoint of death, readmission and quality of life. The following research questions will be addressed: * What is the effectiveness of structured introduction and access to a Wii game computer in patients with heart failure to improve their exercise capacity compared to patients with heart failure in a control group who only receive motivational support? * What is the effectiveness of structured introduction and access to a Wii game computer in patients with heart failure compared to patients with heart failure in a control group who only receive motivational support to increase their daily physical activity, decrease health care use and improve quality of life? * What are experiences of heart failure patients and how is their exercise motivation when they are introduced and instructed to play with a Wii game computer?
