PG - 36-45 LID - 10.18087/cardio.2023.11.n2528 [doi] AB - Aim To assess the tolerability of an individualized physical rehabilitation program (PRP) in inotrope-dependent patients with end-stage chronic heart failure (CHF).Material and methods This prospective randomized study included 120 men aged 18-65 years with left ventricular ejection fraction /=90 / 60 mm Hg. Patients who have received dobutamine or dopamine for >/=2 weeks were randomized into two groups: group 1, 40 patients who participated in the PRP and group 2, 40 patients who did not participate in the PRP. Group 3 included 40 patients without inotropic support who participated in the PRP.Results Patients of groups 1 and 3 attended >80 % of the scheduled classes without developing life-threatening adverse events (AEs) associated with exercise (E). After 6 months of the study, the exercising patients achieved a comparable (average) E intensity: 44 [35; 50]% and 45 [40;52]% of heart rate reserve and Borg scale scores 14 [12; 14] and 13 [11; 14] in groups 1 and 3, respectively (p>0.05). Initially, after 3 and 6 months at the peak of physical activity in groups 1 and 3, there was no decrease in arterial blood oxygen saturation according to pulse oximetry (SpO2) <93 %. At baseline, lactate levels in central venous blood at rest were normal in all groups. After 6 months, the lactate concentration was 1.1 mmol / l in group 1, 2.3 mmol / l in group 2, and 1.4 mmol / l in group 3 (small er, Cyrillic1-2=0.005; p2-3=0.008, respectively). At the E peak at baseline, after 3 and 6 months, comparable increases in lactate not exceeding 3 mmol / l were detected in groups 1 and 3.Conclusion The study allowed assessment of the tolerability of individualized PRP performed at the aerobic level of energy supply, in inotropic-dependent patients with CHF. Individualized 6-month PRP in inotropic-dependent patients with end-stage CHF, provided safety criteria are met, is well tolerated and does not increase the number of AEs associated with CHF and physical rehabilitation (PR). Continued inotropic support with dopamine or dobutamine should not be considered as a contraindication to PR in patients with CHF in the absence of E intolerance or life-threatening AEs.
