Resumen: | The aim of our work was to estimate the maximum strength of the upper and lower limbs (quadriceps, gastrocnemius, biceps, triceps, deltoid) in a group of patients affected by various cardiovascular diseases and compare it with that of a group of healthy and sedentary subjects (n = 20). We also wanted to assess whether there were differences in the maximum strength between different groups of cardiovascular diseases. This study presents many innovative elements, primarily two ones: (a) to recognize the importance of muscle strength as a health component in heart patients; (b) to establish a method for the assessment of strength based on estimation of 1RM. Here are presented the patients recruited on the basis of the basic pathology: 45 patients had chronic heart failure (CHF) in clinical stability for at least 3 months, class NYHA II-III; 21 patients had peripheral obliterative arteriopathy with claudication (POAC, stage IIa of Fontaine); 22 patients had undergone coronary angioplasty (coronary artery disease - CAD); 6 patients had undergone orthotopic cardiac transplant (HT) for at least 6 months. Chronic cardiovascular patients are characterized by a muscular impairment that parallels the history of the disease. |
