Summary

To compare between the effect of circuit weight and aerobic training on selected cardiovascular indices and functional capacity in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Detailed description

Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is a term that refers to the heart's decreased ability to pump blood properly due to myocardial damage brought upon by ischemia. Ischemic cardiomyopathy has a spectrum of clinical changes which eventually leads to congestive heart failure (CHF). Initially, there is a reversible loss of cardiac contractile function because of decreased oxygen supply to the heart muscle; however, when there is ischemia for a prolonged period, there is irreversible cardiac muscle damage resulting in cardiac remodeling. Remodeling is primarily achieved by myocardial fibrosis which results in decreased cardiac function, arrhythmia, and possible cardiac conduction system impairment. In ischemic cardiomyopathy, there is a significant impairment of the left ventricular systolic function, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% (Bhandari et al., 2021).

Conditions

• Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Circuit weight versus aerobic training	Circuit weight :Duration: 30 min-60 min (total session) Frequency: 3 times / week. Intensity: increased load was established when subject was able to complete 12 repetitions ( Wayne, 2014) B- Aerobic training: This mode of exercise will be conducted for study group B as follows: Intensity: started by 60-85% of target heart rate according to each patient response Target heart rate (THR) = 60% -85% (maximum heart rate-resting heart rate) + resting heart rate Maximum heart rate (MHR) = (220-Age). Mode: Walking on treadmill. Duration: Each session consisted of 10 minutes warming up firstly then 30 minutes time of session ended by 10 minutes cool down exercises. Frequency: Three times / week (Nishi et al., 2011). C-Traditional medical treatment: This treatment will be conducted for all group A, B and C.
