Effects of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

NCT04310072 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators evaluated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy on functional capacity and oxidative stress in patients hospitalized for an episode of acute heart failure (AHF). The NMES therapy was used on top of the conventional rehabilitation program. After randomization the investigators followed the patients by measuring the evolution of functional capacity, oxidative stress and adverse events.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

NMES therapy induces visible rhythmic and repeated muscle contractions without volitional effort from the patient by applying electrodes to the thigh and/or calf muscles.
