Effect of RMT on Diaphragm Function In Heart Failure
When it comes to chronic heart failure (CHF), there are a number of factors that can impact patients’ quality of life. Respiratory muscle weakness in patients with CHF, for example, contributes to reduced exercise capacity. This reduced exercise capacity can, in turn,...
Effect of RMT on Autonomic Cardiac Control in Heart Failure
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) experience a myriad of symptoms that greatly impact their lives. In particular, sufferers of CHF tend to have greatly impaired autonomic cardiac control, constrictive blood vessel activity, and reduced respiratory muscle...
Effect of RMT and Aerobic Exercise on Heart Failure
People with chronic heart failure (CHF) often suffer from exercise intolerance due to dyspnea and fatigue, and both respiratory and peripheral muscle weakness contribute to these manifestations. Unfortunately, these symptoms can often cause a decline in overall...
Effect of incremental RMT on heart failure
People with chronic heart failure (CHF) suffer from respiratory muscle weakness, which is associated with exertional fatigue and dyspnea. This limits their activities of daily living, and can have a significant impact on their quality of life. Incremental respiratory...
Effect of RMT on Oxygen Uptake and Ventilatory Function in Heart Failure
Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) may have reduced strength and endurance in inspiratory muscles, which may contribute to exercise intolerance due to fatigue and dyspnea. Exercise intolerance in general can be linked to a significant reduction in the...
Substantiated Effects Respiratory Muscle Therapy Has On Dyspnea, COPD, CHF, Dysphagia, Asthma and Spinal Cord Injury
Active contraction of the respiratory muscles provides the energy required for ventilation of the lungs during breathing. Quiet breathing is maintained by the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles during inspiration, while expiration is a passive process. During...
