Article Synopsis
- Heart transplantation (HTx) is the preferred treatment for patients with severe heart failure, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a safer and more effective exercise method than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for improving fitness in these patients.
- The study aimed to compare the effects of HIIT and MICT on exercise capacity, peak heart rate, and heart rate reserve in HTx recipients, using systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze data.
- Results showed that HIIT significantly enhanced peak oxygen consumption, peak heart rate, and heart rate reserve more than MICT, suggesting that HIIT is an effective exercise regime, although further testing is needed to confirm its superiority in equal caloric conditions.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) may perfect respiratory and cardiac performance in patients with heart failure (HF). The objective of the study to establish, through systematic review and meta-analysis, NIV influence on functional capacity of HF patients. A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized studies was carried out through research of databases of Cochrane Library, SciELO, Pubmed and PEDro, using the key-words: heart failure, non-invasive ventilation, exercise tolerance; and the free terms: bi-level positive airway pressure (BIPAP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and functional capacity (terms were searched for in English and Portuguese) using the Boolean operators AND and OR.

Our systematic review was planned and performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. We included all studies that established reference values for the six-minute walk test in healthy children/adolescents.
