Treatment and study plan

Resonance breathing

Other

Resonant breathing was used on the subjects, using nasal inhalation and oral exhalation, for a total of 12 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. New YorkHeart Association (NYHA)

    Time frame: 12weeks

    The scale is divided into four levels

    Grade 1 is unrestricted activity. Daily physical activity does not cause significant shortness of breath, fatigue or palpitations Grade 2 is a mild limitation of activity. Asymptomatic at rest, daily activities may cause significant shortness of breath, fatigue or palpitations Grade 3 is marked limitation of activity. May be asymptomatic at rest, but may cause significant shortness of breath, fatigue, or palpitations with less than daily activity.

    Grade 4 is symptomatic at rest, with discomfort associated with any physical activity. Class IVa for those who can move around indoors or at the bedside without intravenous drug administration; Class IVb for those who cannot get out of bed and require intravenous drug administration.

  2. left ventricle global longitudinal strain, LVGLS

    Time frame: 12weeks

    The magnitude of overall longitudinal myocardial strain in the left ventricle on two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiograms as an average of the peak longitudinal strain in all myocardial segments. The normal range is (-25% to -17%) in men and (-25% to -18%) in women.

Secondary outcomes

  1. hypertension

    Time frame: 12weeks

    Blood pressure included both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and was observed before and after the intervention for any reduction in blood pressure.

  2. Average heart rate

    Time frame: 12weeks

    One-minute average heart rate (at rest).
