Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low frequency electrical stimulation
of quadriceps and calf muscles on muscles strength and blood flow in patients with chronic heart
failure (CHF).
Methods: Fifty patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) were randomly selected from Cairo
university hospital, their ages ranged from 40 to 60 years. They were divided into two groups,
thirty patients for study group, and twenty patients for control group. Each patient in the study
group received both low frequency electrical stimulation with frequency 5 sessions per week for
three successive weeks, in addition to medical treatment. Each patient of the control group < br />received the same medical treatment, Pre and post study muscles strength and blood flow
assessment was done for each patient of both groups
Results: The result of this study revealed statistically significant difference in muscles strength
and blood flow that showed a statistically significant improvement in patients for the study group < br />in comparison to control group there.
Conclusion: Low frequency electrical stimulation of quadriceps and calf muscles improve
muscles strength and blood flow in patients with chronic heart failure, Thus we recommend to
use electrical stimulation of quadriceps and calf muscles in order to improve muscles strength
and blood flow in patients with chronic heart failure
