Effect of physical training on quality of life and oxygen consumption in patients with congestive heart failure

To assess changes in quality of life (QoL) and oxygen consumption produced by two different patterns of physical training in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). 42 men (mean age 55.9±8.1 years) with ischaemic CHF lasting 3.1±1.0 years. Patients were randomised into three groups each consis...

Description
Summary:To assess changes in quality of life (QoL) and oxygen consumption produced by two different patterns of physical training in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). 42 men (mean age 55.9±8.1 years) with ischaemic CHF lasting 3.1±1.0 years. Patients were randomised into three groups each consisting of 14 men: group A—with constant workload, group B—with progressive/increasing workload, each trained up to 6 months and group C—not trained. QoL was assessed at baseline and at 6 months by means of the Psychological General Well-being Index (PGWB) and the Subjective Symptoms Assessment Profile (SSA-P). Cardiopulmonary exercise test and echocardiography were performed twice. At 6 months improvement in PGWB total index was observed, both in groups A and B ( p
