In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Heart failure is a common clinical condition that often leads to reduced exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, and poor quality of life. Many patients with heart failure also develop weakness of the inspiratory muscles, which contributes to limited physical activity and worsening functional capacity. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been suggested as a useful rehabilitation method to improve respiratory muscle strength and exercise tolerance. In addition, functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the lower limb muscles may help activate skeletal muscles and improve functional performance in patients who cannot tolerate conventional exercise. This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effect of combining inspiratory muscle training with functional electrical stimulation of the lower limbs in patients with decompensated heart failure. A total of 135 hospitalized pat
