A walking program plus high intensity breathing exercise may enhance quality of life in individuals with heart failure - A preliminary report
Journal of Cardiac Failure Aug 26, 2017
Lin SJ, et al. – This pilot study strived to ascertain if a self–monitored progressive walking program and high–intensity inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could result in more improvements than the walking program alone on exercise capacity, breathing strength, and health–related quality of life in individuals with heart failure (HF). The clinicians concluded that high–intensity IMT combined with home–based progressive walking could help in improving functional capacity, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (PImax), and quality of life more than the progressive walking program alone. However, these outcomes were preliminary because of the high drop out rate.
