Eccentric Resistance Training Among Individuals With Chronic Heart Failure

Effects of Eccentric Resistance Training on Ventricle Functions and Aerobic Capacity Among Individuals With Chronic Heart Failure

To determine the effects of eccentric resistive training on ventricle functions and aerobic capacity as compared to a resistance and aerobic training among Heart failure (HF)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of Chronic HF and currently stable with optimal medical therapy
• Chronic Heart failure with ejection fraction > 30 %
• Patient able to safely perform lower limb exercise will be check by six- minute walk test (6 MWT)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those Heart failure patient whose are in acute phase or planed for any immediate medical intervention
• Already participating in cardiac rehabilitation
• New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification of HF class IV HF symptoms
• Co-existent other disease such as asthma/ COPD/interstitial lung disease.
• Symptomatic Second degree or third degree heart block.
• ECG with uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia
• Limited Exercise ability due to neurologic or orthopedic impairments of the legs (will cross-check with 6 MWT)
