- Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome, the common end-stage of several heart diseases. The study aimed to evaluate the quality of life, functional capacity and respiratory muscle strength in patients with HF functional class I and II. This was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 20 individuals aged between 58 and 82 years, under clinical follow-up at the Clinical Center of Medical Specialties of Patos de Minas. After performing the tests, it was observed in relation to the quality of life that the most compromised domain was that of limitation by physical aspects. There was no limitation in the functional capacity and in the respiratory muscle strength, due to the individuals performing physiotherapeutic follow-up. It is concluded that HF has a negative impact on the quality of life and that physical therapy is essential in the monitoring and prognosis of this population.
