ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Analizar la evidencia sobre los efectos del entrenamiento con restricción parcial del flujo sanguíneo en personas con enfermedades cardiovasculares. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos de MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS y Wiley. Fueron incluidos estudios experimentales y no experimentales que investigaron sobre los efectos de la restricción parcial del flujo sanguíneo en sujetos con enfermedad cardiovascular. RESULTADOS: Seis ensayos clínicos y tres estudios no experimentales cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los estudios experimentales fueron realizados en sujetos con hipertensión arterial y enfermedad isquémica del corazón. Los estudios no experimentales describieron las adaptaciones hemodinámicas y los potenciales efectos secundarios de la terapia. El riesgo de sesgo de los ensayos clínicos incluidos fue de moderado a alto. El estrés hemodinámico inducido por el ejercicio aumenta significativamente durante el entrenamiento con restricción parcial del flujo sanguíneo en comparación al entrenamiento tradicional. La limitada cantidad de estudios disponibles se han centrado mayoritariamente en los efectos agudos, sin embargo, los efectos crónicos son desconocidos. CONCLUSIÓN: Actualmente no hay evidencia que recomiende el uso de la restricción parcial del flujo sanguíneo en personas con enfermedades cardiovasculares
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the evidence on the effects of blood flow restriction training in people with cardiovascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS and Wiley databases. Experimental and non-experimental studies investigating the effects of blood flow restriction in participants with cardiovascular disease were included. RESULTS: Six clinical trials and three non-experimental studies met the inclusion criteria. The experimental studies were conducted in participants with hypertension and ischaemic heart disease. Non-experimental studies described hemodynamic adaptations and potential adverse effects of therapy. The risk of bias of the included clinical trials was moderate to high. Exercise-induced hemodynamic stress increased significantly during training with blood flow restriction compared with traditional training. The small number of available studies have focused mostly on acute effects, but chronic effects are unknown. CONCLUSION: There is currently no evidence to recommend the use of blood flow restriction in people with cardiovascular disease
