A cardiac rehabilitation exercise program potentially inhibits progressive inflammation in patients with severe Chagas cardiomyopathy: A pilot single-arm clinical trial.


ABSTRACT: Background:Cardiac rehabilitation exerts anti-inflammatory effect on several cardiovascular diseases; however, these effects were not described for Chagas cardiomyopathy, which is associated with pro-inflammatory imbalance. Materials and Methods:Ten patients with severe Chagas cardiomyopathy performed 8 months of exercise training in a cardiac rehabilitation program. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1?), IL-8, IL-10, interferon gamma (IF-?), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) serum levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline, 4, and 8 months. The influence of exercise on cytokine levels was evaluated using the one-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements, with Bonferroni posttest for multiple comparisons. Results:Levels of pro-inflammatory (TNF-?, IL-1?, IL-8, IF-?, and (MCP-1) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines did not vary significantly during the observation period. Conclusion:Exercise may benefit patients with severe Chagas cardiomyopathy by curbing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in this disease characterized by a continuous state of inflammation.
