1. Physical training has been proposed to increase vagal control of heart rate in chronic heart failure. We studied the effects of physical training on cardiovascular control in 6 moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA II-III) patients and 6 age matched normal controls in a randomized controlled cross over trial (Training vs Detraining). 2. Five weeks training (20 min/day, 5 days/week bicycle exercise) increased peak VO2 in both C (from 31.2 +/- 1.4 to 37.7 +/- 2.4 ml/kg/min p < 0.01) and CHF patients (from 12.16 +/- 2.2 to 14.13 +/- 2 ml/kg/min p < 0.05). The sympathovagal control of heart rate and sympathetic control of the resistance vessels was assessed by the power of the oscillations (LF:0.03-0.15 Hz index of sympathetic activity, HF: 0.18-0.35 Hz index of vagal activity) in RR interval, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic by Finapres) and respiration by autoregressive spectral analysis, during free and controlled breathing (15b/min), in order to increase vagal activity. 3. T increased heart rate vagal control both in C (LF/HF ratio fb to cb: (D) 1.73 +/- 0.35 to 1.19 +/- 0.43 p = NS: (T) 2.9 +/- 1.2 to 1.13 +/- 0.3 p < 0.05) and in CHF patients (LF/HF ratio fb to cb: (D) 2.05 +/- 0.56 to 1.24 +/- 0.21 p = NS; (T) 2.6 +/- 0.89 to 0.87 +/- 0.15 p < 0.05; and in cb HF%: 36.2 +/- 2.7 (D) to 46.2 +/- 4.8 (T) p < 0.05). Before T, the sympathetic modulation of peripheral vessels (% LF compared to total variability) was depressed in CHF vs C (SBP: 9 +/- 2 vs 42 +/- 12% p < 0.05; DBP: 29 +/- 7 vs 55 +/- 31%, p < 0.05), and increased significantly after T in CHF (SBP from 9 +/- 2 (D) to 19 +/- 5% (T) p < 0.05; DBP from 29 +/- 7 to 41 +/- 11% (T) p < 0.05). This suggests an overall increase of autonomic control, both vagal on the heart and sympathetic on the peripheral vessels, in CHF by physical training.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
