“…Nevertheless, this therapy seems to be well indicated in patients with major functional limitations who can not perform the conventional physical exercise training program (such as bedridden patients). [14] On the other hand, our pilot study showed a large benefit of using neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients admitted to ward that were able to perform the conventional phase I rehabilitation program.…”

BackgroundNeuromuscular electrostimulation has become a promising issue in cardiovascular rehabilitation. However there are few articles published in the literature regarding neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients with heart failure during hospital stay.MethodsThis is a randomized controlled pilot trial that aimed to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrostimulation in the walked distance by the six-minute walking test in 30 patients admitted to ward for heart failure treatment in a tertiary cardiology hospital. Patients in the intervention group performed a conventional rehabilitation and neuromuscular electrostimulation. Patients underwent 60 minutes of electrostimulation (wave frequency was 20 Hz, pulse duration of 20 us) two times a day for consecutive days until hospital discharge.ResultsThe walked distance in the six-minute walking test improved 75% in the electrostimulation group (from 379.7 ± 43.5 to 372.9 ± 46.9 meters to controls and from 372.9 ± 62.4 to 500 ± 68 meters to electrostimulation, p<0.001). On the other hand, the walked distance in the control group did not change.ConclusionThe neuromuscular electrostimulation group showed greater improvement in the walked distance in the six-minute walking test in patients admitted to ward for compensation of heart failure.

A Eletroestimulação é uma técnica utilizada por profissionais da área da saúde em tratamentos para diversas doenças e treinamentos esportivos. Pode ser aplicada em academias de ginástica, clínicas de fisioterapia e ambientes esportivos como clubes de futebol, corridas, entre outros. Existem diversas nomenclaturas no mercado relacionando a eletroestimulação, mas todas elas são tecnicamente conhecidas como estimulação neuromuscular elétrica transcutânea (ENET). A ENET de corpo inteiro é uma técnica relativamente nova, e entrou no mercado para potencializar o tratamento e treinamento que já eram utilizados por estimuladores elétricos locais, como a corrente russa, galvânica e outras. Os resultados dos estudos relacionados ao tema divergem bastante, portanto, percebe-se a necessidade de mais pesquisas relacionadas ao tema. Assim, o objetivo da presente revisão é, identificar e discutir os efeitos benéficos da ENET no tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares e neuromusculares, inclusive no auxílio do treinamento físico convencional e os potenciais riscos para saúde humana.

Analysis of results showed a signifi cant increase in minute ventilation and maximum voluntary ventilation in both groups (P ≤ 0.001) and no signifi cant difference between both groups, 7.3 ± 0.6 and 7.4 ± 0.6. There was a signifi cant decrease in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in group A (P ≤ 0.001) and also a signifi cant decrease in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in group B (P ≤ 0.001). There was a signifi cant difference between group A and group B in the decrease in heart rate, 131.
