Reliability of hemodynamic parameters measured by bioimpedance cardiography at different intensities during incremental exercise testing Open
Background Bioimpedance cardiography offers a non-invasive and time-efficient method to measure hemodynamic parameters. Previous studies only investigated its reliability under steady-state conditions and at maximum load but not at ventila…
Effects of exercise training on cardiac output in subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) – a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background: Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) commonly experience exercise intolerance, resulting in reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. This is characterised by a decreased maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak)…
Skeletal muscle and heart failure – What is the relationship between central versus peripheral affections? Open
It seems that severe affections (approx. 25 to 30%) on cardiocirculatory level are associated with moderate to low affections on functional and structural capacity on skeletal muscle level. Further, as in the male cohort with a heart patho…
Microvascular endothelial dysfunction in heart failure patients: An indication for exercise treatment? Open
aFID is a sensitive diagnostic tool to quantify microvascular impairments in CHF patients. Exercise treatment in CHF patients has high potential to improve retinal microvascular health as a marker for vascular regeneration and overall risk…
High-Intensity Interval Training for Heart Failure Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HIT-HF)-Rational and Design of a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial Open
Background: The pathophysiology of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has not yet been fully understood and HFpEF is often misdiagnosed. Remodeling and fibrosis stimulated by inflammation appear to be main factors for the progress…
