Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Conditions
Interventions
The 37 patients participated at the beginning of the study performed an ergospirometric evaluation for evaluation of metabolic parameters and heart rate (measured by the frequency meter). Subsequently

Eligibility
Age
50 Years to 90 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We selected patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, former smokers of both genders, who completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program with a minimum of eight weeks
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients who did not complete the eight-week rehabilitation program, patients who require oxygen during ergospirometry, or who are unable to participate in the study, were excluded from the study. Patients with mild impairment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or with associated heart disease, understand or perform the research procedures
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hope to establish a correlation of heart rate variability with ergospirometric data. The frequency data will be evaluated by the Polar® RS800 CX frequencymeter and the VO2, VE, VE / VO2 and VCO2 values ??obtained by means of ergospirometry. We expect that the lower the heart rate variability the greater the metabolic expenditure. | — |
