The cardiorespiratory system exhibits oscillations from a range of sources. One of the most
studied oscillations is heart rate variability, which is thought to be beneficial and can serve …

Objective The benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) have already been demonstrated
in patients with heart failure (HF), but the best mode of training and which patients benefit …

A large body of evidence exists indicating that autonomic imbalance is characteristic of heart
failure, with several parameters of autonomic function associated with adverse clinical …

Aims Vent‐HeFT is a multicentre randomized trial designed to investigate the potential
additive benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on aerobic training (AT) in patients with …

Evidence to date strongly suggests that poor inspiratory muscle performance is associated
with dyspnea, poor exercise tolerance and poor functional status in patients with heart …

Background Patients with a Fontan circulation have reduced exercise capacity and
respiratory muscle strength. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves exercise capacity …

Physiological adaptations to exercise training are well recognized and contribute importantly
to health and fitness. Cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and heart failure, are …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training
(IMT) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Design We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE …

Objective To determine whether the impact of inspiratory muscle weakness on inspiratory
muscle training (IMT) affects inspiratory function and exercise capacity in chronic heart …

Respiratory contributions have been shown to limit exercise in patients with heart failure
(HF). The manner by which the respiratory system limits exercise is due to abnormalities in …
