Efficacy of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is supported for outpatients with stable chronic heart failure, but its efficacy in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify IMT efficacy and safety in hospitalized ADHF patients.

Methods and results

Patients with inspiratory muscle weakness who underwent cardiac rehabilitation (CR) were analyzed. The control group was historical control data of patients admitted to the same facility. IMT was performed at 30% maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (15 reps/set, 2 sets/day, 5 times/week) with usual CR. Associations between IMT and changes in the 2-min walking distance (2MWD) were assessed using a linear mixed model. In total, 31 and 29 patients in t
