Impact of controlled physical exercise on NT-proBNP level and ejection fraction in patients with acute coronary disease – original paper
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose. Assess the effect of a controlled physical training on the level of NT-pro BNP and left ventricular ejection fraction depending on the time and type of physical exercise. Methods. Eighty-three patients were included in the study. Two groups participated in interval training on a cycle ergometer and exercise improving general physical. Control Group participated in exercise improving general physical only. The immunoenzymatic test for qualitative determination of the NT – proBNP level and echocardiographic examination was performed in all groups. Results. The authors observed changes in NT-proBNP level testing and echocardiographic examination. In the group I, after a 2-week training, the NT-proBNP value decreased by 13.2%. In the same group, mean EF values were significantly increased, from 51.23% to 51.95%. In the group II a 29% reduction of the NT-pro BNP level was observed. EF values were significantly increased, from 50.62% to 51.69%. As for final NT-proBNP values in the control group, a decrease of the peptide level by 3.9% was observed, compared to initial values. In the same group, a non-significant increase of the EF value was observed, from 47.06% to 47.13% Conclusions. Findings of the studies confirm that cardiac rehabilitation decrease of the NT-proBNP level and improves LVEF in patients with acute coronary disease.
