Home-based inspiratory muscle training in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction-a preliminary study-

Inspiratory muscle weakness is associated with exercise intolerance in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) [1]. However, the beneficial effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for more than 12 weeks in HFpEF remains unclear [2].
