Interventions/Control_1

In the intervention group, skeletal muscle stimulation therapy and exercise therapy using Panasonic knee trainer (EU - JLM 50 S) are used in combination. Contents of exercise therapy will be carried out 2 minutes of aerobic exercise with an anaerobic metabolic threshold using Senoh cordless bike V after preparatory exercise for 10 minutes before exercise.

Interventions/Control_2

The control group carries out ordinary exercise therapy.

128

Results

After the intervention, the knee extension strength of the HT group increased significantly. AT and peak VO2 improved in both groups, and the rate of change was higher in the HT group than in the Con group. On the other hand, there was no improvement in skeletal muscle mass in both groups. A positive correlation was observed between knee extension muscle strength and peak VO2 change in both groups.

Baseline Characteristics

Patient Background
 The study included 128 cases, with 73 cases meeting the exclusion or contraindication criteria. After random allocation, 29 cases were assigned to the HT group, and 26 cases to the Con group. In the Con group, two cases of heart failure requiring hospitalization, one case requiring hospitalization for angina treatment, and one case of CRP self-discontinuation during outpatient care were excluded from the study. Finally, 24 cases in the HT group and 22 cases in the Con group were analyzed.
The average age was 69.7 years, and 52% were male. Chronic heart failure, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction accounted for 93% of the cases.

Participant flow

The study included all new heart disease patients who visited our outpatient CRP (Cardiac Rehabilitation Program). After an initial observation period of two weeks following their first outpatient visit, we confirmed that patients could attend the CRP at least twice a week. Following this confirmation, we obtained informed consent and then randomly assigned the patients to either the HT group or the control group. The patients then underwent 150 days of exercise therapy. Physical function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise tests were conducted before and after the intervention.

The exclusion criteria were based on contraindications for exercise therapy as outlined in the guidelines. Additionally, patients who could not maintain a CRP attendance frequency of at least twice a week, those with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators, patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy, and those with severe orthopedic or neurological conditions that made independent transfer to or use of a cycle ergometer difficult were also excluded from the study.

Adverse events

1 case of skin trouble at the electrode sheet attachment area was admitted and the equipment setting was changed.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measure was the change in knee extension muscle strength (relative value) between the HT group and the Con group. Secondary outcome measures included the changes (relative values) in anaerobic threshold (AT), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), and skeletal muscle mass before and after the intervention. Physical functions, such as knee extension muscle strength and skeletal muscle mass, were measured.
