RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
A Study to Evaluate Breathing Muscle Training in Cardiac Rehab
Combined Cardiac Rehabilitation and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Heart Failure
About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to understand if breathing muscle training combined with cardiac rehabilitation influences the blood flow and blood pressure response during exercise.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Inclusion Criteria - Heart Failure Group:
- Adult 18 years and older.
- English speaking.
- Has a qualifying heart failure indication for center-based cardiac rehabilitation.
Inclusion Criteria - Healthy Control Group:
- Adult 18 years and older.
- English speaking.
- Absence of pulmonary, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurologic, or orthopedic diseases. Controls will be matched for age and sex.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- HF patients who are unable to engage in a regularly structured exercise training program as part of a clinically indicated center-based outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.
- Participants unable/unwilling to provide willing to sign a consent form.
- Uremia, history of allergy to iodides. Impaired renal function.
- Creatinine value greater than 1.3 mg/dL (via clinical record within the past 6 months).
- Diagnosis of liver disease.
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
