Summary

It is well-known that not only peripheral muscles, but also respiratory muscles muscle weakness and deconditioning play an important role in low exercise capacity of patients with Heart Failure (HF). Exercise training has been shown to improve exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with heart disease. However, hearth failure patients with pacemaker such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization pacemakers or defibrillators (CRT-P or CRT-D) have additional specific issues when performing exercise. No study investigated the effects of different inspiratory muscle training protocols. For this reason, we aimed to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on outcomes in hearth failure patients with pacemaker

Detailed description

Heart failure patients with pacemaker will be included. Primary outcome measurement is respiratory muscle strength, secondary outcomes are functional exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary functions, maximal exercise capacity, fatigue, quality of life, depression, physical activity.

Conditions

• Pacemaker

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Inspiratory muscle strength training	Treatment group will receive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using threshold loading device (POWERbreathe Classic, IMT Technologies Ltd. Birmingham, England) at 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The MIP will be measured at supervised session each week, and 50% of measured MIP value will be the new training workload. The treatment group will train for 30 min-per/day, 7 days/week, for 8 weeks. Six sessions at home and 1 session will be performed at department.
DEVICE	Inspiratory muscle endurance training	Treatment group II will receive inspiratory muscle endurance training (IMT) using threshold loading device (POWERbreathe Classic, IMT Technologies Ltd. Birmingham, England) at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The MIP will be measured at supervised session each week, and 30% of measured MIP value will be the new training workload. The treatment group will train for 30 min-per/day, 7 days/week, for 8 weeks. Six sessions at home and 1 session will be performed at department.
