Summary

Introduction： Muscle wasting is a serious complication that affects a large proportion of patients with heart failure (HF). Muscle wasting is a strong predictor of frailty and reduced survival in HF patients. Currently, standard treatments for slowing muscle loss in patients with HF are not available. The main intervention remains various types of physical activity programs. Telemonitoring is a promising strategy for improving heart failure outcomes by making it possible to monitor patients remotely. There are numerous examples of home-based exercise programs administered through telehealth services that have been beneficial for maintaining physical activity levels. These results highlight the potential utility of telehealth services for combatting sedentarism and muscle wasting among epidemic and post-epidemic phases.

Objective： The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-component physical activity program based on home telemonitoring on patients with heart failure and muscle wasting. Methods： This study used an quasi-experimental study, two-group repeated measurement design. The experimental group received the Home-based exercise with telemonitoring and control group according to regular nursing care. Data were collected at baseline (T0), and post-tests will be conducted right after the intervention period (T1). Additionally, detraining effects will be measured 12 weeks after program cessation (T2) . Data were collected including demographic questionnaire, sarcopenia, cachexia assessment, clinical blood parameters from patient record, physical activity, loneliness, and quality of life.

Scientific or Clinical Implication of the Expected Results： The study results can be used to design designated interventions and provide information for policymaking.
