AB  - OBJECTIVE: This cross-sectional, observational study was planned to compare 
      pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, and functional 
      capacity in different functional classes of heart failure patients. METHODS: 
      Thirty-four heart failure patients, in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II 
      and III (68.59+/-9.84 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 
      =34.24+/-7.59%) were included. Class II and III patients' pulmonary function was 
      assessed using spirometry, respiratory muscle strength using a mouth pressure 
      device, functional capacity using six minute walk test (6MWT), quadriceps femoris 
      and biceps brachii muscle strength were evaluated using a hand-held dynamometer, 
      and variables were compared. Student t, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U tests, and 
      Spearman correlation coefficients were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: 
      There were no statistically significant differences in pulmonary function and 
      respiratory muscle strength between the two groups (p>0.05). The 6MWT distance 
      (328.35+/-101.56 m; vs. 480.05+/-104.19 m) quadriceps femoris (218.83+/-63.62 N; vs. 
      290.69+/-115.53 N) and biceps brachii (164.22+/-44.78 N; vs. 219.19+/-49.37 N) muscle 
      strength of Class III patients were significantly lower than of Class II patients 
      (p<0.05 for all). The NYHA classification system was significantly correlated 
      with measured and predicted 6MWT distance (r=-0.59, r=-0.65, respectively), 
      biceps brachii muscle strength (r=-0.46, r=-0.40, respectively), and % quadriceps 
      femoris muscle strength (r=-0.43) (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Functional capacity and 
      peripheral muscle strength decrease as the illness progresses in heart failure. 
      Pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength are preserved. The NYHA 
      classification system is a reliable method in the detection of changes in 
      functional capacity and peripheral muscle strength. Changes in functional 
      capacity and peripheral muscle strength are consistent with the NYHA 
      classification system.
