Abstract
Background: Conventional aerobic training is the first choice in cardiac rehabilitation for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be an alternative, although it has little evidence. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of continuous aerobic training (CAT) or HIIT on exercise tolerance in CHF patients. Methods: Retrospective study with 30 patients, of both genders, members of a 10-week CAT or HIIT program. The control group (CON) consisted of patients who did not participate voluntarily [...]
Highlights
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by cardiovascular and ventilatory abnormalities associated with the increase in the neurohumoral systems.[1,2] The cycle generated between physical decoding and disorders is associated with classic chronic heart failure (CHF) physiopathological mechanisms
This study assessed the records of data referent to the physical training sessions of patients with CHF and who agreed to participate in the heart rehabilitation program of the Sports Medicine Unit of the Clinical Center of Universidade de Caxias do Sul, RS, Brazil, between 2016 and 2017
This study analyzed the medical records of 30 patients with CHF, with LVEF
Summary
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by cardiovascular and ventilatory abnormalities associated with the increase in the neurohumoral systems.[1,2] The cycle generated between physical decoding and disorders is associated with classic CHF physiopathological mechanisms. This condition is pinpointed as the main problem of the reduction in tolerance to physical exercise in this population.[1,2].
