Objective To examine the relationship of pulmonary parameters and functional capacity with quality of life (QoL) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Thirty-six patients with chronic AF were included in this cross-sectional study. QoL was assessed with the Medical Outcomes Survey 36-item Short Form (SF-36) and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function were also measured. Functional capacity was assessed with the 6-min walk test (6MWT). The Borg CR10 Scale was used to determine the resting dyspnea and fatigue levels. Results The SF-36 physical component summary score was correlated with the maximum inspiratory pressure (r = 0.517), maximum expiratory pressure (r = 0.391), 6MWT distance (r = 0.542), resting Borg dyspnea score (r = −0.692), and resting Borg fatigue score (r = −0.727). The MLHFQ total score was correlated with the maximum inspiratory pressure (r = −0.542), maximum expiratory pressure (r = −0.384), 6MWT distance (r = −0.535), resting Borg dyspnea score (r = 0.641), and resting Borg fatigue score (r = 0.703). The resting Borg fatigue score was the significant independent predictor of the SF-36 physical component score and the MLHFQ total score. Conclusion Respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity measured with the 6MWT, and resting symptoms including dyspnea and fatigue may have an impact on QoL in patients with AF.

The Relationship

Respiratory muscle weakness, frequently observed in patients with heart failure (HF), is reported as a predictor for poor prognosis. Although increased respiratory muscle strength ameliorates exercise tolerance and quality of life in HF patients, the relationship between changes in respiratory muscle strength and patient prognosis remains unclear. A total of 456 patients with HF who continued a 5-month cardiac rehabilitation (CR) were studied. We measured maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) at hospital discharge as the baseline and five months thereafter to assess the respiratory muscle strength. Changes in PImax during the 5-month observation period (⊿PImax) were examined. We investigated the composite multiple incidence of all-cause death or unplanned readmission after 5-month CR. The relationship between ⊿PImax and the incidence of clinical events was analyzed. Over a median follow-up of 1.8 years, 221 deaths or readmissions occurred, and their rate of incidence was 4.3/100 person-years. The higher ⊿PImax was significantly associated with lower incidence of clinical event. In multivariate Poisson regression model after adjustment for clinical confounding factors, ⊿PImax remained a significant and independent predictor for all-cause death/readmission (adjusted incident rate ratio for ⊿PImax increase of 10 cmH2O: 0.77, 95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.86). In conclusion, the changes in respiratory muscle strength independently predict the incidence of clinical events in patients with HF.

Background: The use of evaluation tools such as the manovacuometer and respirometer is frequent and disinfection is usually limited to the external surfaces, which is insufficient and raises concerns because of the potential spread of infectious diseases. Hydrophobic heat and moisture exchangers (HME) are used in mechanical ventilation and have microbiological filters, which can possibly reduce contamination, increasing the safety of related procedures. It is unknown, however, if the addition of an exchanger affects the measurements obtained. Aim of this study was to verify if the use of an HME interferes in maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures assessed using the manovacuometer and vital capacity evaluated using the respirometer in healthy adults. Methods: A controlled transversal trial was carried out. Twenty healthy young adults were included in the study. Vital capacity by respirometer and, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were assessed with and without the use of HME. Results: No significant difference was found between the values pre and post HME use in vital capacity measurements: (3878.8 ± 202.2 mL vs. 3925.5 ± 206.0 mL, p = 0.116) and the respiratory muscle strength measurements: MIP (−99.0 ± 8.9 vs −95.5 ± 9.0 cm H2O, p = 0.149) and MEP (92.5 ± 7.5 vs 92.5 ± 7.7 cm H2O, p = 1.0) respectively. Conclusion: We conclude that the use of HME does not modify the lung volumes or respiratory muscle strength, and can be used in order to reduce the occurrence of pulmonary infection.
