Abstract EN
Objectives.
Cardiac autonomic imbalance accompanies the progression of chronic heart failure (CHF).
It is unclear whether exercise training could modulate autonomic control in CHF.
This study aimed to review systematically the effects of exercise training on heart rate recovery (HRR) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with CHF.
Methods.
Literatures were systematically searched in electronic databases and relevant references.
Only published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on exercise training for CHF were eligible for inclusion.
Outcome measurements included HRR and HRV parameters.
Results.
Eight RCTs were eligible for inclusion and provided data on 280 participants (186 men).
The participants were 52–70 years of age with New York Heart Association functional class II-III of CHF.
Each study examined either aerobic or resistance exercise.
Two trials addressed outcome of HRR and six HRV among these studies.
Two RCTs showed that moderate aerobic exercise could improve HRR at 2 minutes after exercise training in CHF.
Five of six RCTs demonstrated positive effects of exercise training on HRV which revealed the increments in high frequency (HF) and decrements in LF (low frequency)/HF ratio after training.
Conclusion.
Participation in an exercise training program has positive effects on cardiac autonomic balance in patients with CHF.
