Brief Summary:
Effects of complementary therapies on heart failure a leading cause of hospitalization are unknown Animal-assisted therapy improves physiological and psychosocial variables in healthy and hypertensive subjects
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a 12-minute hospital visit with a therapy dog improves hemodynamics lowers neurohormone levels and decreases state anxiety in patients hospitalized with heart failure

Detailed Description:
Context Effects of complementary therapies on heart failure a leading cause of hospitalization are unknown Animal-assisted therapy improves physiological and psychosocial variables in healthy and hypertensive subjects
Objectives To determine whether a 12-minute hospital visit with a therapy dog improves hemodynamics lowers neurohormone levels and decreases state anxiety in patients hospitalized with heart failure
Design Setting Participants A 3-group volunteer-dog team volunteer only and control randomized repeated-measures experimental design was used in 76 adult patients with advanced heart failure hospitalized between November 2001 and July 2004 Longitudinal analysis was used to model differences among the 3 groups at 3 time points
Interventions One group received a 12-minute visit from a volunteer with a therapy dog another group received a 12-minute visit from a volunteer and the control group received usual care at rest Data were collected at baseline 8 minutes after the intervention started and 16 minutes 4 minutes after intervention ended
Main Outcome Measures Blood pressure heart rate pulmonary artery pressure pulmonary capillary wedge pressure right atrial pressure cardiac index systemic vascular resistance plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine and state anxiety
Results Compared with the control group patients visited by a volunteer-dog team showed significantly greater decreases in pulmonary artery pressure during 534 P 003 and after 578 P 001 the intervention pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during 309 P 02 and after 431 P 002 the intervention and epinephrine 1754 P 04 and norepinephrine 24014 P 02 levels during the intervention After the intervention patients visited by the volunteer-dog team showed the greatest decrease in state anxiety over patients visited by a volunteer only 665 P 003 and the control group 913 P 0001
Conclusions Animal-assisted therapy improves cardiopulmonary pressures neurohormone levels and anxiety in patients hospitalized with heart failure
