Research conducted in the last two decades suggests that neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the lower limb muscles (NMES) may be a "bridge" to conventional exercise or an alternative for patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF), non-compliant or non-responsive to physical training. Through stimulating the work of the skeletal muscles, NMES increases the functional capacity, muscle mass and endurance in patients with CHF. A beneficial effect of NMES on functional capacity, vascular endothelial function, quality of life and aerobic enzymes activity has been shown. A significant benefit of this novel therapy in heart failure is the fact that the procedure can be home-based, after prior guidance of the patient.
过去二十年的研究表明，对下肢肌肉进行神经肌肉电刺激（NMES）可能是常规运动的“桥梁”，或者是晚期慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者、不依从或对体育训练无反应患者的替代方案。通过刺激骨骼肌的活动，NMES可提高CHF患者的功能能力、肌肉质量和耐力。NMES已被证明对功能能力、血管内皮功能、生活质量和有氧酶活性具有有益作用。这种新型心力衰竭治疗方法的一个显著优点是，在对患者进行预先指导后，该治疗程序可以在家中进行。
