NCT04834336

Brief Summary

Hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) present a high prevalence of inspiratory muscle weakness on admission and discharge. Inspiratory muscle training has been reported as a beneficial approach in chronic heart failure. However, the effects of inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized patients with ADHF have been not known. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety, feasibility, and effects of inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized patients with ADHF.

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Adverse events

    During the hospitalization, daily, during an average of 4 to 10 days

  • Recruitment rate

    During the hospitalization, daily, during an average of 4 to 10 days

  • Adherence rate

    During the hospitalization, daily, during an average of 4 to 10 days

  • Retention rate

    During the hospitalization, daily, during an average of 4 to 10 days

  • New York Heart Association Functional Classification

    baseline and hospital discharge, an average of 4 to 10 days

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Physical training plus inspiratory muscle training

EXPERIMENTAL

Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) will be implemented by using the Power Breathe® device. IMT training will begin with mild to moderate intensity of maximal inspiratory pressure. It will be performed 6 to 10 breaths, 4 sets, and twice daily during the hospitalization when as soon as hemodynamic stability is provided. Physical Training will consist of each functional domain (balance, mobility, strength, and endurance) according to patients' functional levels. These will include static and dynamic balance training, mobility training, functional strength training focused on lower extremities, and endurance training as sustained walking. A daily 30 min session during the hospitalization will be performed with one-on-one supervision when as soon as hemodynamic stability is provided.
