Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

The Role of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure on Functional Performance in Adults with Heart Failure

ESC Heart FailPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The analysis demonstrates that MIP is a novel biometric for exercise tolerance in adults with HF.

Study context

Population
Patients aged ≥ 50 years with heart failure (HF)
Participants
51 patients
Exposure
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) above vs below median
  • MIP > mediann = 25
Outcome
Peak VO2
Methodological detailsexploratory multiple regression
  • Exploratory multiple regression

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

P = 0.0007

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

6MWD, 1RM, 30 s STS and gait speed by MIP median group

Greater with MIP > median
all P < 0.05
