Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of functional electrical stimulation associated with inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity and quality of life in heart failure patients.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Combined training

FES will be applied at 15 Hz, 0.4 ms pulse width, 10-s contraction time, 50-s resting time and maximum tolerable intensity, 3 sessions per week, for 12 weeks. The IMT will also be performed for 12 weeks, 5 sessions per week, with an intensity of 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure.
