[Hemodynamic correction in patients with coronary heart disease using individualized physical load in hospital
Abstract:
Early activation and development of new safe physical training programs to improve central hemodynamics and the physical ability of patients are the main tendencies in modern physical rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bicycle training (BT) with free choice of load parameters (FLC) on central hemodynamics in patients with various clinical forms of CAD receiving hospital treatment. The participants, 185 patients (99 men and 86 women) aged 46 to 76 (mean age 68+/-1.6), suffering from different clinical forms of CAD, were examined. The inclusion of FLC VT into complex treatment of CAD was associated with a significant improvement of heart pumping ability--an increase in tidal volume index (TVI) and ejection fraction (EF) in all clinical groups. Conventional hospital treatment alone does not have a significant impact on central hemodynamic parameters, and is not associated with a significant EF augmentation.
