Objectives. Cardiac autonomic imbalance accompanies the progression of chronic heart
failure (CHF). It is unclear whether exercise training could modulate autonomic control in …

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is potentially attractive as a
method of training in heart failure (HF) and could be performed in patients unable to …

BACKGROUND The purpose of this document is to provide clinicians with guidance, using
expert consensus, to help summarize evidence and offer practical recommendations …

A large body of research supports the use of exercise to improve symptoms, quality of life,
and physical function in patients with chronic heart failure. Previous reviews have focused …

Objective To investigate autonomic involvement in different types of idiopathic premature
ventricular contractions (PVCs) grouped by heart rate (HR) dependency. Methods One …

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) has traditionally been employed to improve muscle
strength and glucose uptake. EMS may also reduce arterial stiffness, but little is known about …

Research conducted in the last two decades suggests that neuromuscular electrical
stimulation of the lower limb muscles (NMES) may be a „bridge” to conventional exercise or …

The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of low-intensity one-legged electrical
muscle stimulation (EMS) for skeletal muscle on arterial stiffness in EMS and non-EMS legs …

Background Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) present impairments in
muscle strength and exercise capacity. There is growing evidence about the benefits of …

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated with reduced cardiac
function and impaired quality of life. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is emerging as a …
