Chair Rise and Step Ups on Cardiopulmonary Parameters Among Preserved Ejection Heart Failure Patients

Progressive lower limb activities (Chair rise and Step ups) were be carried out weekly for upto 6 weeks. Before initiation, cardiopulmonary parameters i.e. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, cardiac output and stroke volume were measured at baseline and later at the termination of activity on each week. Initially, five repeated chair rise were conducted through SPPB and the time was noted to complete the task and step ups through 6MWD for a total period of 30 min. Lastly, fatigue component was assessed via FAS.

Standard aerobic exercise i.e. low intensity walking were conducted in both the groups. Follow up phone calls and 1 OPD visit were scheduled accordingly
