简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess hemodynamic effects of inspiratory muscle training during routinely performed right-heart catheterization.
详细描述
During the last years, respiratory muscle training (RMT) in patients with impaired respiratory muscle function, e.g. in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is increasingly applied. RMT can be done by applying increased respiratory effort for several minutes via an apparatus providing an inspiratory stenosis. Threshold IMT® (Philips Respironics) for example is such a training device, which is in the market for several years now and which has been used to conduct studies applying RMT. For example, it has been shown that training with the Threshold IMT® in patients with COPD increases inspiratory muscle strength, endurance and functional capacity and ameliorates dyspnea and quality of life. Furthermore, patients suffering from cardiac illness can also be affected by respiratory muscle impairment, which can add to their cardiogenic dyspnea. RMT can help improve dyspnea and physical exercise capacity in those patients as well.
To date, no studies have been performed addressing acute hemodynamic effects of inspiratory muscle training. However, this is of special interest: COPD as well as heart failure patients show an increased prevalence of pulmonary hypertension.
In case of suspected pulmonary hypertension, patients usually are subjected to right-heart catheterization (RHC) to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and assess severity and etiology of potentially present pulmonary hypertension. RHC is also a sensitive method to exclude an intracardial shunt in COPD patients.
In this study, patients who are routinely subjected to RHC for the above mentioned reasons will be instructed to do RMT using the Threshold IMT® during RHC. Two days in advance they will begin a guided training to get familiar with the Threshold IMT®. The device's inspiratory resistance can be set between 9 and 41 cm H2O. A single training session consists of 7 cycles with 2 min inspiratory training each, followed by a 1 min break (total duration 21 min). RMT will be conducted with 20-30% of individual inspiratory muscle strength, which will be measured beforehand.
During the RHC procedure the patients will again conduct RMT as instructed while the suspected hemodynamic effects will be documented.
