Does IMT combined with aerobic training improve functional and serum biomarkers in patients with moderate CHF compared to aerobic training alone?
Adding inspiratory muscle training to aerobic training in cardiac rehabilitation provides additional functional and biomarker benefits for patients with moderate chronic heart failure.
This randomized multicentre study demonstrates that IMT combined with aerobic training provides additional benefits in functional and serum biomarkers in patients with moderate CHF. These findings advocate for application of IMT in cardiac rehabilitation programmes.
Adamopoulos et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
