A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients with acute heart failure [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Acute heart failure often leads to impaired physical function, high rehospitalization rates, and poor quality of life. Although exercise-based rehabilitation benefits chronic heart failure patients, its feasibility in acute heart failure is ...
