ABSTRACT
Exercise intolerance and dyspnea are the major symptoms of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and are associated with a poor quality of life. In addition to impaired central hemodynamics, symptoms may be attributed to changes in peripheral skeletal muscles. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic interval training (AIT) combined with inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on cardiac and skeletal muscle function and on functional capacity and dyspnea in patients with CHF and inspiratory muscle weakness.Left ventricle ejection fraction was improved significantly after AIT and AIT & IMT with a high percentage of amelioration (17%, P < 0.042) in the combined group compared to the control group. Therefore, we showed a significant improvement in maximal voluntary isometric force, isometric endurance time, root mean square, and frequency median in both strength and endurance manipulations in the aerobic and combined group; however, the improvement was superior in the combined group compared to the control group. Significant amelioration was proved in functional capacity and dyspnea after all types of training but was performed at 18% higher in 6 minutes' walk test and 43% lower in dyspnea for the combined group compared to the control group.Combining AIT to IMT had optimized exercise training benefits in reversing the cardiac remodeling process and improving skeletal muscle function, functional capacity, and dyspnea in patients with CHF.
