Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 65 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients with univentricle or biventricle endomyocardial fibroses; Endocardial resection surgery longer than 6 months, with or without atrioventricular valve replacement; Left ventricle ejection fraction higher than 50 percent; Functional class II or III, NYHA; and Being compensated with optimal medication.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate if cardiovascular rehabilitation lead to an improvement of 10 percent or more in oxygen consumption, and if cardiovascular rehabilitation could decrease left atrium and increase left ventricular volumes in patients with endomyocardial fibrosis. Cardiopulmonary exercise test and echocardiogram evaluation were performed on endomyocardial fibrosis patients.;Cardiovascular rehabilitation increased oxygen consumption, decreased left atrium volume and increased left ventricle volume.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate if cardiovascular rehabilitation lead to an improvement of 10 percent or more in quality of life in patients with endomyocardial fibrosis. An especific questionnare that evaluates the impact of heart failure on daily life activities on endomyocardial fibroses patients were evaluated.—
