FUJFILM Sonosite SII was used in a study to analyze the effectiveness of adding inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to a cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) in people with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) revascularized by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after 16 sessions.
72 patients diagnosed with AMI will be enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups. The control group will complete the usual CRP with the addition of IMT at 5% of the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) (sham load). The intervention group will perform the same CRP but will add an IMT program at 70% of MIP. Outcomes will be collected at baseline and post-intervention. The main outcome will be cardiorespiratory fitness (CF) measured in metabolic equivalent of task (MET), secondary outcomes will be MIP, maximal expiratory pressure, peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea, social support, anxiety, depression, coping with the disease, sexual dysfunction, quality of life (QoL), sleep quality, eating habits, and body composition.
