RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess cardiac autonomic modulation, measured by short-term frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), in children with asthma. METHODS: We conducted an observational study at a tertiary care teaching hospital. The sample consisted of 119 children aged 7 to 15 years with asthma and 56 age-matched healthy controls. Frequency domain HRV measures included low-frequency (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz), high-frequency (HF; 0.15-0.4 Hz), and LF/HF ratio. The LF and HF components were expressed in both absolute values of power (ms2 ) and in normalized units (nu). RESULTS: Compared with healthy controls, asthmatic children had significantly higher value of HF (nu) (mean ± standard deviation: 45.9 ± 14.6 vs 40.7 ± 13.6; P = .02), and lower values of LF (nu) (54.1 ± 14.6 vs 59.3 ± 13.6; P = .02) and LF/HF ratio (median, interquartile range: 1.12, 0.82-1.88 vs 1.59, 1.02-2.08; P = .03). We did not find significant differences between children with persistent and intermittent asthma, and between children with well-controlled and partially-controlled or uncontrolled asthma, in terms of HRV measures. CONCLUSIONS: Children with stable chronic asthma may have a cardiac autonomic imbalance with a possible enhanced parasympathetic modulation, as assessed by short-term frequency domain analysis of HRV. Neither asthma severity nor asthma control was significantly associated with HRV measures, but the study did not have enough power to draw a firm conclusion on this point.

RESUMO

Caso-controle. Objetivos do estudo: Comparar a capacidade funcional, parâmetros respiratórios e qualidade de vida entre sujeitos saudáveis e pacientes com apneia obstrutiva do sono. Metodologia: Em 19 pacientes com apneia obstrutiva do sono e 19 sujeitos saudáveis foram avaliadas a qualidade de vida (The Medical Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey), capacidade funcional (teste de caminhada de seis minutos), função pulmonar (espirometria) e força muscular respiratória(manovacuometria). Resultados: Os pacientes apresentaram declínio na qualidade de vida pelos domínios capacidade funcional, estado geral de saúde e saúde mental. A distância percorrida no teste de caminhada de seis minutos foi menor nos pacientes com apneia obstrutiva do sono. Os parâmetros respiratórios não diferiram entre os grupos. Conclusão: Pacientes com apneia obstrutiva do sono apresentam comprometimento da qualidade de vida e da capacidade funcional...


To compare the functional capacity, respiratory parameters and quality of life between healthy subjects and patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methodology: 19 patients with obstructive sleep apnea and 19 healthy subjects were evaluated regarding their quality of life (The Medical Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey), their functional capacity (six-minute walk test), pulmonary function (spirometry) and their strength respiratory muscle(manovacuometer). Results: Patients showed a decline in the quality of life concerning functional capacity domains, general state of health and mental health. The distance walked in the six-minute walktest was shorter for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Respiratory parameters did not differ between groups. Conclusion: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea present impairment regarding their quality of life and functional capacity...

RESUMO

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) produces beneficial effects in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), but studies carried out in these patients show small sample sizes and conflicting results. The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically review the effect of treatment with FES compared with conventional aerobic exercise training (CA) or control group in patients with CHF. The search strategy included MEDLINE, LILACS, Physiotherapy Evidence Database and Cochrane Library. Randomized trials comparing FES versus CA or control group in the treatment of patients with CHF were included. Two reviewers independently extracted the data. Main analysis used a fixed-effects model. The search retrieved 794 articles, from which seven studies were included. Treatment with FES provided a smaller gain in peak VO2 compared with CA {-0.74 ml/kg per min [95% confidence interval (CI): -1.38 to -0.10]}. There was no difference in the muscle strength [-0.33 Nm (95% CI: -4.56 to 3.90)] and in the distance of the 6-min walk test [2.73 m (95% CI: -15.39 to 20.85)] on comparing FES with CA. An increase in peak VO2 of 2.78 ml/kg per min (95% CI: 1.44-4.13) was observed in FES versus the control group. Treatment with FES provides a similar gain in the distance of the 6-min walk test and in the muscle strength when compared with CA, but a small gain in the peak VO2. An increase in the peak VO2 can be obtained with FES as compared with the control group. Thus, FES may be an alternative in relation with CA for patients with CHF and with those who are unable to perform this kind of exercise.
