Abstract
Background Supervised exercise training decreases total and cardiac mortality and increases quality of life of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. However, response to training is variable from one patient to another and factors responsible for a positive response to training remain unclear. The aims of the study were to compare cardiac hemodynamic changes after an exercise training program in responders (R) versus non-responders (NR) HFrEF patients, and to compare different discriminators used to assess response to training. Methods Seventy-six HFrEF patients (86% males, 57 ± 12 years) completed an exercise training program for 4 weeks. Patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on a cycle ergometer before and after training. Cardiac hemodynamics were measured by impedance cardiography during CPET. The R and NR groups were classified using the median change in peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak). Results There were statistically significant differences in V̇O2peak (+35% vs. -1%, P < 0.0001) and in peaks of ventilation (+30% vs. +2%, P < 0.0001), cardiac output (COpeak) (+25% vs. +4%, P < 0.01), systolic blood pressure (+12% vs. +2%, P < 0.05), diastolic blood pressure (+9% vs. +4%, P < 0.05) and heart rate (+8% vs. +1%, P < 0.01) between R and NR after the training program. V̇O2peak was the best discriminator between R and NR (receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) = 0.83, P < 0.0001), followed by COpeak (ROC AUC = 0.77, P < 0.0001). Conclusion V̇O2peak is the best discriminator between HFrEF R and NR patients after the training program. Responders showed improvements in peak hemodynamic parameters. These results pave the way for other studies to determine how the individualization of exercise training programs and peak hemodynamic parameters potentially linked to a better positive response status.

Effects of different exercise modalities on inhibiting left ventricular pathological remodeling in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Life Sci 2023; 319:121511. [PMID: 36822317 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of different exercise training modalities on inhibiting the left ventricular pathological remodeling in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and screen out the optimal exercise modality. METHODS We performed a network meta-analysis based on the Frequentist model. Random-effect meta-analyses were used to estimate mean differences (MD) and 95 % confidence intervals. KEY FINDINGS 25 randomized controlled trials (1284 patients) were enrolled in this study. Results revealed that: high-intensity interval training had the best effect in improving left ventricular ejection fraction (p-score = 0.93, MD: 6.44 (3.61 to 9.28)), reducing left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (p-score = 0.97, MD: -6.73 (-10.27 to -3.19)) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (p-score = 0.97, MD: -9.33 (-14.90 to -3.76)). Combined aerobic training with resistance training and inspiratory muscle training had the best effect in improving maximal oxygen consumption (p-score = 0.90, MD: 5.19 (3.12 to 7.25)). SIGNIFICANCE Current evidence revealed that exercise training could effectively inhibit left ventricular pathological remodeling in patients with HFrEF. For efficacy, high-intensity interval training may have greater potential.

Abstract
Maximal exercise capacity of patients after heart transplantation (HTX) remains limited, affecting their quality of life. Evidence on the evolution of muscle strength and physical activity (PA) post-HTX is lacking, but a prerequisite to tailor cardiac rehabilitation programmes. Forty-five consecutive patients were evaluated every 3 months during the first year post-HTX. Functional exercise capacity (Six minutes walking distance test (6MWD)), peripheral (Quadriceps strength (QF)) and respiratory (Maximal inspiratory strength (MIP)) muscle strength were evaluated. PA (number of steps (PAsteps), active time (PAactive) and sedentary time (PAsed)) was objectively measured. 6MWD, QF, MIP, PAsteps and PAactive significantly improved over time (P < 0.001). No change in PAsed was noticed (P = 0.129). Despite improvements in 6MWD and QF, results remained substantially below those of age-and gender-matched healthy subjects. One year post-HTX, 30% of patients presented with peripheral muscle weakness. Baseline levels of 6MWD and QF were significantly higher in patients with pretransplant LVAD-implantation and this difference was maintained during follow-up. cardiac rehabilitation, combining aerobic exercise training and peripheral muscle strength training, is mandatory in patients post-HTX. Inspiratory muscle training should be implemented when respiratory muscle weakness is present. Programmes improving physical activity and reducing sedentary time post-HTX are essential.

Effects of inspiratory muscle training combined with aerobic exercise training on neurovascular control in chronic heart failure patients. ESC Heart Fail 2021; 8:3845-3854. [PMID: 34184426 PMCID: PMC8497326 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims We tested the hypothesis that the effects of combined inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise training (IMT + AET) on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and forearm blood flow in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction are more pronounced than the effects of AET alone. Methods and results Patients aged 30–70 years, New York Heart Association Functional Class II‐III, and left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40% were randomly assigned to four groups: IMT (n = 11), AET (n = 12), IMT + AET (n = 9), and non‐training (NT; n = 10). MSNA was recorded using microneurography. Forearm blood flow was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography and inspiratory muscle strength by maximal inspiratory pressure. IMT consisted of 30 min sessions, five times a week, for 4 months. Moderate AET consisted of 60 min sessions, three times a week for 4 months. AET (−10 ± 2 bursts/min, P = 0.03) and IMT + AET (−13 ± 4 bursts/min, P = 0.007) reduced MSNA. These responses in MSNA were not different between AET and IMT + AET groups. IMT (0.22 ± 0.08 mL/min/100 mL, P = 0.03), AET (0.27 ± 0.09 mL/min/100 mL, P = 0.01), and IMT + AET (0.35 ± 0.12 mL/min/100 mL, P = 0.008) increased forearm blood flow. No differences were found between groups. AET (3 ± 1 mL/kg/min, P = 0.006) and IMT + AET (4 ± 1 mL/kg/min, P = 0.001) increased peak oxygen consumption. These responses were similar between these groups. IMT (20 ± 3 cmH2O, P = 0.005) and IMT + AET (18 ± 3 cmH2O, P = 0.01) increased maximal inspiratory pressure. No significant changes were observed in the NT group. Conclusions IMT + AET causes no additive effects on neurovascular control in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction compared with AET alone. These findings may be, in part, because few patients had inspiratory muscle weakness.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have revealed that many discharged patients with COVID-19 experience ongoing symptoms months later. Rehabilitation interventions can help address the consequences of COVID-19, including medical, physical, cognitive, and psychological problems. To our knowledge, no studies have investigated the effects of rehabilitation following discharge from hospital for patients with COVID-19. Objective The specific aims of this project are to investigate the effects of a 12-week exercise program on pulmonary fibrosis in patients recovering from COVID-19. A further aim will be to examine how Chinese herbal medicines as well as the gut microbiome and its metabolites regulate immune function and possibly autoimmune deficiency in the rehabilitation process. Methods In this triple-blinded, randomized, parallel-group, controlled clinical trial, we will recruit adult patients with COVID-19 who have been discharged from hospital in Hong Kong and are experiencing impaired lung function and pulmonary function. A total of 172 eligible patients will be randomized into four equal groups: (1) cardiorespiratory exercise plus Chinese herbal medicines group, (2) cardiorespiratory exercise only group, (3) Chinese herbal medicines only group, and (4) waiting list group (in which participants will receive Chinese herbal medicines after 24 weeks). These treatments will be administered for 12 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up period. Primary outcomes include dyspnea, fatigue, lung function, pulmonary function, blood oxygen levels, immune function, blood coagulation, and related blood biochemistry. Measurements will be recorded prior to initiating the above treatments and repeated at the 13th and 25th weeks of the study. The primary analysis is aimed at comparing the outcomes between groups throughout the study period with an α level of .05 (two-tailed). Results The trial has been approved by the university ethics committee following the Declaration of Helsinki (approval number: REC/19-20/0504) in 2020. The trial has been recruiting patients. The data collection will be completed in 24 months, from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. Conclusions Given that COVID-19 and its sequelae would persist in human populations, important findings from this study would provide valuable insights into the mechanisms and processes of COVID-19 rehabilitation.

Abstract
Introduction: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious respiratory viral disease for both the general population and healthcare professionals caring for infected patients. Of particular concern is the potential for significant respiratory, cardiovascular, physical, and psychological dysfunctions.Areas covered: In this context, the current review will focus on the following areas: 1) staying physically active during the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) highlighting the importance of understanding COVID-19 mechanisms; 3) preventing infections for healthcare workers by using personal protective equipment; 4) highlighting importance of respiratory care and physical therapy during hospitalization in patients with COVID-19; and 5) facilitating referral to a rehabilitation program in patients recovering from COVID-19.Expert opinion: We recommend daily physical exercise, outdoors or at home, as physical exercise increases the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines; Patients with COVID-19 may develop severe acute respiratory syndrome, hypoxemia, diffuse alveolar damage, ACE2 reduction in the cardiovascular system and muscle weakness acquired through a prolonged hospital stay; The role of the physiotherapist in the hospital environment is of fundamental importance-early mobilization is highly recommended in severe cases of COVID-19.

Unraveling the Role of Respiratory Muscle Metaboloreceptors under Inspiratory Training in Patients with Heart Failure. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18041697.

Abstract
Exercise intolerance may be considered a hallmark in patients who suffer from heart failure (HF) syndrome. Currently, there is enough scientific evidence regarding functional and structural deterioration of skeletal musculature in these patients. It is worth noting that muscle weakness appears first in the respiratory muscles and then in the musculature of the limbs, which may be considered one of the main causes of exercise intolerance. Functional deterioration and associated atrophy of these respiratory muscles are related to an increased muscle metaboreflex leading to sympathetic–adrenal system hyperactivity and increased pulmonary ventilation. This issue contributes to increased dyspnea and/or fatigue and decreased aerobic function. Consequently, respiratory muscle weakness produces exercise limitations in these patients. In the present review, the key role that respiratory muscle metaboloreceptors play in exercise intolerance is accurately addressed in patients who suffer from HF. In conclusion, currently available scientific evidence seems to affirm that excessive metaboreflex activity of respiratory musculature under HF is the main cause of exercise intolerance and sympathetic–adrenal system hyperactivity. Inspiratory muscle training seems to be a useful personalized medicine intervention to reduce respiratory muscle metaboreflex in order to increase patients’ exercise tolerance under HF condition.

Abstract
AIMS An 'optimum' universally agreed exercise programme for heart failure (HF) patients has not been found. ARISTOS-HF randomized clinical trial evaluates whether combined aerobic training (AT)/resistance training (RT)/inspiratory muscle training (IMT) (ARIS) is superior to AT/RT, AT/IMT or AT in improving aerobic capacity, left ventricular dimensions, and secondary functional outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-eight patients of New York Heart Association II-III, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35% were randomized to an ARIS, AT/RT, AT/IMT, or AT group, exercising 3 times/week, 180 min/week for 12 weeks. Pre- and post-training, peakVO2 was evaluated with cardiopulmonary exercise testing, left ventricular dimensions using echocardiography, walking distance with the 6-min walk test (6MWT), quality of life by the Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire (MLwHFQ), while a programme preference survey (PPS) was used. Seventy-four patients of [mean 95% (confidence interval, CI)] age 66.1 (64.3-67.9) years and peakVO2 17.3 (16.4-18.2) mL/kg/min were finally analysed. Between-group analysis showed a trend for increased peakVO2 (mL/kg/min) [mean contrasts (95% CI)] in the ARIS group [ARIS vs. AT/RT 1.71 (0.163-3.25)(.), vs. AT/IMT 1.50 (0.0152-2.99)(.), vs. AT 1.38 (-0.142 to 2.9)(.)], additional benefits in circulatory power (mL/kg/min⋅mmHg) [ARIS vs. AT/RT 376 (60.7-690)*, vs. AT/IMT 423 (121-725)*, vs. AT 345 (35.4-656)*], left ventricular end-systolic diameter (mm) [ARIS vs. AT/RT -2.11 (-3.65 to (-0.561))*, vs. AT -2.47 (-4.01 to (-0.929))**], 6MWT (m) [ARIS vs. AT/IMT 45.6 (18.3-72.9)**, vs. AT 55.2 (27.6-82.7)****], MLwHFQ [ARIS vs. AT/RT -7.79 (-11 to (-4.62))****, vs. AT -8.96 (-12.1 to (-5.84))****], and in PPS score [mean (95% CI)] [ARIS, 4.8 (4.7-5) vs. AT, 4.4 (4.2-4.7)*] [(.)

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aerobic exercise (AEx) improves outcomes in heart failure (HF). N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is a prognosticator in HF. There are few data on the association of AEx, NT-pro-BNP, and cardiopulmonary function; hence, robust evidence is needed. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of AEx on NT-pro-BNP levels and cardiopulmonary function in HF. METHOD Databases (Pubmed, EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Central Registry, and Scopus) were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the association of AEx with NT-pro-BNP and cardiopulmonary function (VE/VCO2 slope, peak VO2, maximal workload, and left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]) in HF. RevMan 5.3 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, 2014) was used to produce forest plots, and the random-effect model was applied with the effects measure of weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Thirteen (13) RCTs recruited 1,503 patients and 1,494 controls. Aerobic exercise was significant in lowering NT-pro-BNP (pg/mL) compared with control group (WMD=-741.69, 95% CI -993.10 to -490.27 [p<0.00001; I2=63%]). VE/VCO2 slope was also significantly reduced (WMD=-3.57, 95% CI -6.48 to -0.67 [p=0.02; I2=97%]). Peak VO2 (mL/kg/min) significantly improved (WMD=3.68, 95% CI 2.39-4.96 [p<0.00001; I2=96%]). Maximal workload (watt) significantly increased following AEx (WMD=22.80, 95% CI 18.44-27.17 [p<0.00001; I2=78%]). Furthermore, there was a significant enhancement of LVEF (%) in the AEx group (WMD=2.42, 95% CI 0.64-4.19 [p=0.008; I2=71%]). CONCLUSIONS Aerobic exercise improves the NT-pro-BNP, ventilatory efficiency, aerobic capacity, maximal workload, and the left ventricular function in patients with HF.

Abstract
Background: Prior systematic reviews and meta-analysis addressed that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improved inspiratory muscle weakness, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life similar to conventional exercise training as a first alternative in deconditioned patients with heart failure (HF) lead to a better adaptation to posterior exercise training. The heterogeneity and variability in a wide range of new studies about this topic led to the necessity of an updated and comprehensive narrative review. The present review aimed to analyze and update the most relevant studies about IMT in patients who suffer from HF. Methods: A narrative review was carried out about IMT in HF patients including 26 experimental studies divided into 21 clinical trials and 5 quasi-experimental studies identified through database searching in PubMed, Cochrane and PEDro. Results: There is enough evidence to state that IMT produces improvements in functional capacity of patients with HF. Nevertheless, there is not enough evidence to support that IMT could improve cardiovascular parameters, blood biomarkers or quality of life in these patients. Conclusions: Thus, IMT may be recommended to improve functional capacity in patients who suffer from HF; nevertheless, more evidence is needed regarding cardiovascular parameters, biomarkers and quality of life. Furthermore, mortality or HF hospitalization was not evaluated and most studies were not longer than 3 months. According to IMT protocols and study designs heterogeneity and mid-term follow-up, further investigations through high-quality long-term randomized clinical trials should be performed to achieve systematic reviews and meta-analysis to support strong evidence for IMT in HF patients.

Abstract
Secondary prevention through comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation has been recognized as the most cost-effective intervention to ensure favourable outcomes across a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disease, reducing cardiovascular mortality, morbidity and disability, and to increase quality of life. The delivery of a comprehensive and 'modern' cardiac rehabilitation programme is mandatory both in the residential and the out-patient setting to ensure expected outcomes. The present position paper aims to update the practical recommendations on the core components and goals of cardiac rehabilitation intervention in different cardiovascular conditions, in order to assist the whole cardiac rehabilitation staff in the design and development of the programmes, and to support healthcare providers, insurers, policy makers and patients in the recognition of the positive nature of cardiac rehabilitation. Starting from the previous position paper published in 2010, this updated document maintains a disease-oriented approach, presenting both well-established and more controversial aspects. Particularly for implementation of the exercise programme, advances in different training modalities were added and new challenging populations were considered. A general table applicable to all cardiovascular conditions and specific tables for each clinical condition have been created for routine practice.

Abstract
Despite significant improvement in survival and functional capacity after continuous flow left ventricular assist device implantation, the patient's quality of life may remain limited by complications such as aortic valve insufficiency, thromboembolic episodes and gastrointestinal bleeding attributed to high shear stress continuous flow with attenuated or absence of pulsatile flow and by a reduced peak oxygen consumption (peakVO2) primarily associated with a fixed pump speed operation. Revision of current evidence suggests that high technology pump speed algorithms, a 'hypothesis of decreasing pump's speed' to promote pulsatile flow and a 'hypothesis of increasing pump's speed' to increase peakVO2, may only partially reverse these barriers. A 'hypothesis of increasing patient's speed' is introduced, suggesting that exercise training may further contribute to the patient's recovery, enhancing peakVO2 and pulsatile flow by improving skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and strength, peripheral vasodilatory and ventilatory responses, favour changes in preload/afterload and facilitate native flow, formulating the rationale for further studies in the field.
