The aim of the present clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular versus classical strength-resistance training as part of a cardiac rehabilitation programme in patients following acute coronary syndrome. The study is designed as a double-blinded, randomised, and controlled clinical trial. Thirty participants suffering from acute coronary syndrome who meet our inclusion criteria will be recruited by a private tertiary hospital. The intervention group will follow 20 sessions of a cardiac rehabilitation programme divided into two parts: aerobic training and neuromuscular strength-resistance training. The control group will complete the same aerobic training as well as a classical strength-resistance training workout programme. The primary outcome of the study will be the mean difference in change from baseline in the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test. The secondary outcomes will be the cardiorespiratory fitness of the patients (assessed by means of the Chester Step Test), lower-limb performance (assessed with the 30-Second Chair Stand Test and Single-Leg Squat Test), lower-limb strength (hip flexor handheld dynamometry), sexual dysfunction assessment (Sex Health Inventory for Men) and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L). This work will provide evidence for the effectiveness of a neuromuscular versus a classic strength-training programme in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness, lower-limb performance capacities and quality of life, in cardiac patients. The data obtained could lead to more effective and functional workouts which, in turn, may enhance the speed at which these patients can return to their everyday activities of life and improve the efficiency of their movement patterns and heart responses. Furthermore, patients may find neuromuscular workout routines more motivating and engaging, thus encouraging them to adopt healthier lifestyle patterns.

В обзорной статье собраны современные представления об особенностях диагностики и мониторинга пациентов пожилого и старческого возраста с сердечной недостаточностью и стенокардией. Особое внимание уделено проблеме коморбидности пациентов старше 65 лет, что требует корректирующих действий при стратификации риска и прогнозировании клинических исходов. Отмечена приоритетность неинвазивных диагностических тестов. Рекомендована оценка хрупкости как неотъемлемой части диагностического процесса пациентов с сердечной недостаточностью и стенокардией ввиду чёткой связи с худшим прогнозом с точки зрения качества жизни, госпитализации и смертности. Review is about current information on the features of heart failure and angina diagnosis and monitoring in elderly and senile patients. One of the main problem in patients over 65 years is comorbidity, which requires corrective action in the risk stratification and prediction of clinical outcomes. The priority of non-invasive diagnostic tests is noted. Authors of the article recommend frailty as an obligatory part of diagnostic process in patients with heart failure and angina due to a clear connection with the worst prognosis in terms of quality of life, hospitalization and mortality.
