Heart Failure

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. The cardinal manifestations of HF are dyspnea and fatigue, which may limit exercise tolerance, and fluid retention, which may lead to pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema [1]. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, accounting for approximately one third of admissions resulting from cardiac rhythm disturbances [2].

In addition, evidence documents a state of chronic inflammation in individuals with SCI [ 1 - 4 ]. Importantly, chronic inflammation is a significant cardiovascular disease risk factor. Furthermore, paralysis can lead to a relatively sedentary life style and a consequent reduction in physical work capacity [ 58 ]. Other consequences of inactivity are a higher body weight, a higher percentage of body fat [ 9 , 10 ], skeletal muscle dysfunction [ 11 - 14 ] and a lower forced vital capacity [ 15 - 17 ]. Autonomic dysfunction involves an abnormal and unstable regulation of the of the heart and vasculature [ 18 ]. ...
