Sleep is a complex state characterized by important changes in the autonomic modulation of cardiovascular activity. Heart rate variability (HRV) greatly during different sleep stages, showing predominant parasympathetic drive to heart non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and an increased sympathetic activity rapid (REM) sleep. Respiration undergoes modifications as well, becoming deeper more regular with deep shallower frequent REM The aim present study assess both cardiac regulation...
In a 6-month, double-blind multicenter trial conducted over the winter, effects of daily administration ambroxol retard (75 mg) were compared with those placebo in preventing exacerbations and improving symptoms clinical signs chronic bronchitis patients. The was completed by 110 patients group 104 group. Initially, there no significant differences between groups. By end 2nd month treatment, 67.2% had to 50.4% At 6-month trial, 45.5% treatment exacerbations, only 14.4% control These...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is recognized as a multisystemic inflammatory associated with extrapulmonary comorbidities, including respiratory muscle weakness and cardiovascular cardiac autonomic regulation disorders. We investigated whether alterations in strength (RMS) would affect modulation COPD patients.This study was cross-sectional done ten patients affected by moderate to very severe disease. The heart rate variability (HRV) signal recorded using Polar...
Background: Cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) is impaired in patients with stable COPD. Exacerbation aggravates the patients' health status and functional capacity. While clinical effects of exacerbation are known, no studies investigated CAM during whether there a relationship between capacity dyspnea. Methods: Thirty-two moderate to severe COPD were enrolled into two groups: (GSta, n=16) acute (GAE, n=16). The GAE evaluated 24–48 hours after starting standard therapy for hospitalization;...
Concurrent aerobic and resistance training (CART) programs have been widely recommended as an important strategy to improve physiologic functional performance in patients with chronic diseases. However, the impact of a personalized CART program type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires investigation. Therefore, primary aim current study is investigate on metabolic profile, glycemic control, exercise capacity diabetes. We evaluated 41 subjects T2D (15 females 19 males, 50.8 ± 7 years); were randomized...
Cardiopulmonary fitness assessment is a valuable resource to obtain quantitative indicators of an individual's physical performance. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX), considered the gold standard for this evaluation, costly and difficult be accessed by general population. In order make evaluation more accessible, better reflect performance daily life activities, alternative tests were proposed. Morbidly obese patients present limitations that impair could benefit from shorter...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can positively affect exercise capacity, maximum oxygen uptake (V̇<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>), and symptoms after a 6-week physical training program for subjects with moderate very severe COPD. <h3>METHODS:</h3> 47 COPD who were enrolled in randomized either alone or NIV + (NIV-Physical training). Physical consisted dynamic aerobic exercises on treadmill 3 times/week 6 weeks, total...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the hemodynamic, autonomic, and metabolic responses during resistance dynamic exercise before after an 8-week training program using a low-intensity (30% 1 repetitium maximum), high-repetition (3 sets 20 repetitions) model, added aerobic program, in coronary artery disease cohort.Twenty male subjects with (61.1 ± 4.7 years) were randomly assigned combined group (resistance + aerobic) or (AG). Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, minute ventilation,...
The study was conducted to determine the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in association with sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on cardiac autonomic control and functional capacity.The a cross-sectional prospective controlled clinical study. Heart rate variability indices 24 COPD (n = 12) COPD+OSAS patients were evaluated compared by electrocardiographic recordings acquired during rest, active postural maneuver (APM), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA-m), 6-minute walk test...
Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction, which an independent predictor of mortality in chronic diseases. However, whether the coexistence systemic arterial hypertension (HTN) DMT2 alters modulation remains unknown. Objective: To evaluate influence HTN on and cardiorespiratory fitness subjects DMT2. Methods: 60 patients both genders were evaluated allocated to two groups: (n = 32; 51 ± 7.5 years old) + 28; 6.9 old). RR intervals obtained...
The cardioRisk project addresses the development of personalized risk assessment tools for patients who have been admitted to hospital with acute myocardial infarction. Although there are models available that assess short-term death/new events such patients, these were established in circumstances do not take into account present clinical interventions and, some cases, factors used by easily practice. integration existing (applied clinician's daily practice) data-driven knowledge discovery...
Despite the appeal of ultra-short-term heart rate variability (HRV) methods analysis applied in clinical and research settings, number studies that have investigated HRV by analyzing R-R interval (RRi) recordings shorter than 5 min is still limited. Moreover, has not been extensively validated during exercise and, currently, no indications exist for its applicability resistance exercise. The aim present study was to compare with standard short-term low-intensity, dynamic, lower limb healthy...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between aerobic capacity and pelvic floor muscles (PFM) function in adult women. Women aged 18 or over without urinary dysfunction other chronic diseases were eligible participate. They completed habitual physical activity (HPA) questionnaire, underwent a PFM functional evaluation by palpation perineometry, performed submaximal (between 75 85% maximum heart rate) cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) test determine ventilatory anaerobic...
To evaluate the heart rate variability (HRV) indices and (HR) responses during isometric contraction (IC) Valsalva maneuver (VM) in COPD patients.Twenty-two stable moderate to severe patients were evaluated. R-R intervals recorded (monitor Polar® S810i) dominant upper limb IC (2 minutes). Stable signals analyzed by Kubios HRV® software. Indices of HRV computed time domain (mean HR; square root mean squared differences successive RR [RMSSD] triangular index [RR tri index]) frequency (high...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) manifests itself in complex ways, with local and systemic effects; because of this, a multifactorial approach is needed for evaluation, order to understand its severity impact on each individual. Thus, our objective was study the correlation between easily accessible variables, usually available clinical practice, maximum aerobic capacity, determine models peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) estimation COPD patients. Subjects methods:...
Obesity is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Linear methods, including time domain and frequency analysis, are normally applied on the heart rate variability (HRV) signal to investigate autonomic control, whose imbalance might promote disease in these patients. However, given cardiac activity non-linearities, non-linear methods provide better insight. HRV complexity was hereby analyzed during wakefulness different sleep stages healthy obese subjects. Given short duration of each...
Portable respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) systems have been validated for ventilatory assessment during resting conditions and incremental treadmill exercise. However, in clinical settings field-based exercise, intensity is usually constant submaximal. A demonstration of the ability RIP to detect measurements accurately would promote validate routine use portable devices as an alternative ergospirometry (ES), current gold standard technique measures.To investigate agreement...
Reduced ejection fraction (EF), possibly induced/mediated by autonomic abnormal activation, is one of the most powerful predictors adverse outcome after acute myocardial infarction (MI). A deep understanding correlation between autonomous functionality and left ventricular performance in these patients therefore paramount importance. The function reflected cardiac activity and, specifically, heart rate variability (HRV) signal. Given nonlinearity, growing interest being manifested towards...
