The impact of neuromuscular electric stimulation versus aerobic exercise in rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure

Abstract

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.
