Heart Failure
Conditions
Interventions
This is a controlled clinical study, in which participants will undergo aerobic physical training, strength training and inspiratory muscle training, as well as evaluation procedures. We will include
HF/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) group: patients diagnosed with HF coexisting with COPD. Aerobic training, on a treadmill, associated with strength training and inspiratory muscle train

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients between 50 and 85 years of age; of both sexes; who consent to participate by signing the Free and Informed Consent Form (TCLE); have a clinical diagnosis of heart failure (HF) (ventricular ejection fraction left lower than 50%, secondary to ischemic disease or cardiomyopathies), functional class II and III, according to the New York Heart Association Functional Classification for Heart Failure (NYHA), without associated pulmonary disease; having a clinical diagnosis of chronic obstrutive pulmonary disease (COPD), Global Initiative for Chronic Obstrutive Lung Disease (GOLD) II (50-79% predicted FEV1) and III (30-49% predicted FEV1), based on spirometric evaluation; be clinically stable, in the 30 days prior to inclusion in the study; not having participated or being participating in a rehabilitation program in the three months prior to recruitment
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients who have an insufficient level of understanding to perform the tests; manifest limitations to perform physical exercise (exacerbation of fatigue, dyspnea on minimal exertion, claudication, unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia); present limiting musculoskeletal diseases; disabling neuropsychiatric diseases; clinical decompensation or recent hospitalization for symptomatic control; coronary event in the last 12 months; aneurysm; patients with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax; history of collapsed lung due to a traumatic injury and that has not completely healed; history of ruptured eardrum that is not completely healed or any other disease in the eardrum; patients with asthma who have frequent attacks; patients who do not adhere to the schedule of activities proposed in the study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the association of physical training with inspiratory muscle training will be able to improve clinical and functional parameters in patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic obstrutive pulmonary disease (COPD), similarly to what happens in patients with only HF | — |
Secondary
