Why the study?

Does physical training improve sympatho-vagal tone and autonomic function in cardiac patients?

Structured PICO

Does physical training improve sympatho-vagal tone and autonomic function in cardiac patients?

Population

Cardiac patients, including those with significantly reduced exercise capacity and those with normal exercise capacity and approximately normal or slightly decreased left ventricular function

Intervention

Physical training (endurance training) / physical therapy

Outcome

Sympatho-vagal tone (autonomic function) and exercise capacitysurrogate

Physical training can improve autonomic function in a subset of cardiac patients, though its prognostic impact remains unclear.

Limitations

The extent to which the prognosis of cardiac disease is affected by the change in autonomic function remains unclear

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Physical therapy may improve autonomic function in select cardiac patients; leaves open prognostic impact and optimal selection.
