Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of respiratory training in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF)mode on exercise function and cardiopulmonary function in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods A total of 82 CHF patients admitted to Huai'an Second People's Hospital from October 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled and assigned to observation group or control group by a random number table,with 41 patients in each group.The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation training,while the observation group received respiratory training in PNF mode in addition to the conventional rehabilitation.Clinical efficacy,cardiac function indicators,such as E-wave,A-wave,stroke volume(SV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),and fractional shortening(FS),serum NT-proBNP,and 6-min walking distance(6MWD)were evaluated.Results After 8 weeks of intervention,the total effective rate,E-wave,SV,LVEF,and FS in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),A-wave and serum NT-proBNP in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),the 6MWD in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Respiratory training in PNF mode is more effective than conventional rehabilitation,significantly improving exercise tolerance in CHF patients,left ventricular diastolic and systolic function.Additionally,it shows greater efficacy in reducing heart failure-related biochemical markers.As an adjunctive therapy in the rehabilitation of heart failure patients,it holds high clinical application value.
