Abstract Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a syndrome associated to decrease functional capacity, is quite difficult to manage. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been used to treat symptoms and to improve functional capacity of patients with HFpEF. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the immediate effects and after 1 h of IMT on arterial pulsatile hemodynamics and on hemodynamic indices of left ventricular filling derived from Doppler echocardiography in patients with HFpEF. Methods: Eighteen patients with HFpEF who […]
