    Effectiveness of a training program for a patient with non-cardiac chest pain that combines intervention to improve quality of life, psychological state, and functional capacity: a case report
    (Bmc, 2023) Huzmeli, Irem; Ozer, Aysel Yildiz
    BackgroundNoncardiac chest pain (NCCP) is persistent angina-like chest pain without cardiac origin that affects the patient's health related quality of life (HrQoL), although it does not affect mortality. The effect of a comprehensive training program for NCCP focused on quality of life, psychological state, peripheral muscle strength, physical activity, and quality of life has not been previously established or published. Therefore, this study aimed to show the effectiveness of our combined training program that focuses on functional capacity, physical activity, pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, and depression perception in NCCP patients with dyspnea.Case presentationA 38-year-old man with shortness of breath and NCCP was referred to to us for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Respiratory muscle strength (mouth pressure device), functional capacity (6 min walking test, 6-MWT), peripheral muscle strength (dynamometer), pulmonary function (spirometry), fatigue (fatigue severity scale), shortness of breath (MMRC, Modified Medical Council Research, Modified Borg Scale-MBS), physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire, IPAQ), health related quality of life (SF-36, Short Form-36), and depression and anxiety (Hospital Depression and Anxiety scale, HADs) were assessed. Aerobic training combined with inspiratory muscle training (loading 30% maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)) was administered at least 5 days/week for 6 weeks. Functional capacity, physical activity, pulmonary function, and respiratory and peripheral muscle strength improved, and dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, and depression perception were decreased after the management.ConclusionsThis combined training program was effective for patients with NCCP and shortness of breath. Future studies should be conducted to find the most effective biopsychosocial training protocol for NCCP patients.

    Effectiveness of Device-Guided Breathing in Chronic Coronary Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Study
    (Taiwan Soc Cardiology, 2023) Akkus, Oguz; Huzmeli, Irem; Seker, Taner; Bekler, Ozkan; Sen, Fatih; Kaypakli, Onur; Ozer, Aysel Yildiz
    Background: Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is one of the most life-restricting coronary artery diseases, and symptom relief is the main goal in CCS patients who suffer from angina.Objectives: To assess the potential benefits of device-guided breathing in CCS patients with angina in this randomized, controlled, single-blinded study.Methods: Fifty-one patients with CCS received device-guided breathing for 7 days/8 weeks. Exercise capacity [exercise stress test], cardiac function [transthoracic echocardiography], and angina severity [Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification] were evaluated initially and after the training. Device-guided breathing was performed at the lowest resistance of the device (POWERbreathe (R) Classic LR) for the control group (n = 17). The low load training group (LLTG; n = 18) and high load training group (HLTG; n = 16) were trained at 30% and 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure. Baseline characteristics were compared using one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. ANCOVA was performed to compare changes between three groups. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Metabolic equivalent values were significantly improved in both HLTG and LLTG groups (p < 0.001, p = 0.003). The Duke treadmill score significantly improved and shifted to low-risk both in the HLTG (p < 0.001) and LLTG (p < 0.001) groups. Angina severity significantly alleviated after the training in both HLTG and LLTG groups (p < 0.001, p = 0.002).Conclusions: An 8-week long program of short-term respiratory muscle training provided positive gains in exercise capacity and angina severity in CCS patients with angina. The effects of long-term training programs on CCS patients should be investigated clinically because of the possibility of helping to decrease the need for invasive treatments.
