Clinical Trial Summary

Heart failure is a cardiac structural or functional disorder that, despite normal filling pressures, leads to inability to deliver enough oxygen to meet the metabolic needs o tissue. Heart failure is a serious chronic condition that affects a large proportion of the adult population in the world causing high mortality, leading to exercise intolerance and reduced health-related quality of life. Patients included in the cardiac rehabilitation program slow down disease progression, hospitalization decreases, quality of life improves and health expenditures decrease. Despite the frequent use of upper extremities in daily living activities, studies investigating the effect of upper extremity aerobic training on daily living activities, functional exercise capacity and other outcomes are limited. No studies have investigated the effect of upper extremity aerobic exercise training on physical activity level, functional and maximal exercise capacity and other measures in patients with heart failure.


Clinical Trial Description

It has been reported that exercise capacity in peak arm exercise is almost 30% lower in heart failure patients. For this reason intolerance to arm exercise is a significant problem in heart failure patients and may contribute to a decrease in performance in activities of daily living. Considering the fact that developments in these patients are caused by vasculature functional adaptation the extremity skeletal muscle and applied limbs, upper extremity exercises may be useful to reduce exercise intolerance during activities requiring continuous arm movement. ;
