Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of skeletal muscle training on exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF). MethodsSeventy patients with CHF were divided into group A( n =34),undergoing 3 weeks of exercise training(bicycle ergometer, treadmill walking and walking on foot),and group B( n =36), undergoing 3 weeks of activity restriction. Before and after exercise training and after activity restriction, 6 minutes of walking test was performed and levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), norepinephrine(NE) and left ventricle ejection fraction(LVEF) were evaluated. ResultsAfter exercise training in group A, the maximum distance walked was (385?30.12)m. The levels of LVEF, plasma IL-6 and NE were (43?5.23)%,(0.86?0.25)pmol/L and (2.05? 0.48 )nmol/L,respectively. All the above parameters were significantly ameliorated when compared with group B ( P 0.05). ConclusionThe skeletal muscle training could improve exercises tolerance and ameliorate cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure,which was beneficial for the rehabilitative treatment.
