The efficacy of inspiratory muscle training in patients with coronary artery disease: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been recognized as an effective form of training in patients with cardiovascular disease and heart failure.
