Popis: The article describes a series of studies of the efficacy of the method of electromyostimulation, developed under the leadership of Inesa Benediktovna Kozlovskaya for the system of countermeasures against negative space flight effects on the muscular system, in the rehabilitation of patients hospitalized with decompensated chronic heart failure. It has been shown that low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation of leg muscles has a favorable effect on exercise capacity and activity of patients and the assessment of their quality of life and general well-being. The efficacy of electrical stimulation significantly exceeds placebo and is comparable to low- to medium-intensity interval bicycle exercise training. It is well tolerated, does not induce significant changes in central hemodynamics, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, renal function, and markers of muscle damage. The method can be used in the rehabilitation of patients with heart failure who are unable or unwilling to perform conventional exercise training.
