In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a standardized exercise program alone versus the same program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients undergoing heart failure . The main questions it aims to answer are: * Assessing the ultrasonographic parameters: echo intensity (echogenicity), cross-sectional area, thickness, and pennation angle of the rectus femoris muscle in both lower limbs. * Evaluating the strength of the femoral quadriceps muscle * Evaluating the changes in the chronaxie of the rectus femoris muscle in both lower limbs. The protocol will have a total duration of 32 days, with an initial intervention period of 18 days, followed by a 14-day follow-up period.
