EFFECTS OF AEROBIC EXCERCISES ON BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG ISCHEMIC HEART FAILURE PATIENTS

Abstract

Heart failure results from myocardial deficiencies, which prevent the heart from adequately supplying the body with oxygen. The severity is further divided into groups, with ischemic cardiomyopathy as a major contributor. The effectiveness of conventional treatments like beta-blockers and CPAP is still constrained as the prevalence of heart failure rises, especially in areas with high rates of ischemic heart disease. Recent research, however hints that individuals may benefit from cardiovascular advantages and symptom reduction from aerobic activity. This study compares the effects of several exercise regimens on people with heart failure while also considering potential alternative therapy approaches.

Objectives: Patients of heart failure report difficulty in performing daily activity due to physical disability and higher level of depression and anxiety among them. Thus, we measured blood pressure and peak Vo2.Although exercise has well documented benefits related to health of heart failure patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on heart failure patients.

Materials and Methods:  It was interventional study conducted on heart failure patients. 30 participants were diagnosed with chronic heart failure and allocated to aerobic training. At baseline and 4 weeks of aerobic exercise and patients performed 6-minute walk test

Results: Outcome of aerobic training demonstrate significant improvement of peak V02 max, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure within the groups results which was analyzed by friedmen test and statistical value is <0.05.

Conclusion: It is concluded that the effects of aerobics exercises will improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 4 weeks of rehabilitation program among heart failure patients.
