REABILITAÇÃO CARDÍACA COMBINADA COM O METODO DE RESTRIÇÃO DE FLUXO SANGUÍNEO.

Introduction: With the increasing number of cases of cardiovascular diseases, cardiac rehabilitation can help the return of daily life activities, however this methodology has a slow progression and few short-term results, since Japanese researchers have developed a strengthening technique that uses low loads combined with external pressure, thus enabling neuromuscular gains similar to high-intensity exercises. Objective: to analyze the literature on the method of blood flow restriction associated with conditioning in cardiopathic patients. Methodology: This is a literature review, for this purpose the publications of the last ten years on scientific knowledge through bibliographic research were consulted in the databases PUBMED, SCIELO, LILACS and BIREME, the search systematization occurred in the period of August 2018, the inclusion criteria: articles in the English and Portuguese language that addressed physical training with blood flow restriction as a form of cardiac rehabilitation, the exclusion criteria were articles that involved other training methodologies and studies not available in full, were used the keywords: blood flow restriction; Kaatsu training; Cardiac rehabilitation in combination with Boolean seekers "and/or". Discussion: Cardiac rehabilitation is an artifice of development and maintenance of the level of physical, mental and social conditioning, which ensures the return of the patient to a functional life, in contrast studies indicate a significant relevance of these individuals to the programs due to the long journey of rehabilitation progression, low training intensity and low tolerance to exercise, the method of blood flow restriction associated with low intensity exercises allows greater benefits in populations that do not tolerate high training intensities, favoring more functional gains with less physical stress. Conclusion: This treatment methodology can be a favorable alternative for the improvement of functionality, increase of cardiorespiratory reserve, reduction of blood pressure, with less oxidative stress, lower cardiovascular overload and strength gain similar to high intensity exercises.
