Patients commonly undergo a symptom-limited maximal stress test (ETT)
Phase II (out patient)
31
(Negative) ETT prescription
65%-80% HRmax
32
+ETT prescription
keep MVO2 below the pts ischemic threshold
33
Activities in phase III
Endurance training Resistance training may begin Light weights (1-3 lbs for 12-15 reps)
34
Pts with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue
Class I
35
Pts with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue and anginal pain
Class II
36
Pts with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation in physical activity. Less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue and anginal pain
Class III
37
Pts with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. There are symptoms of cardiac insufficiency.
Class IV
38

42
Strength training guidelines
Large ms groups before small Exhalation with exertion Focus on RPE 11 to 13 Use slow and controlled movements
43
Criteria for modification/termination of exercise in pts with HF
marked fatigue/dyspnea RR > 40 cpm s3 heart sound increase in pulmonary crackles
44
Criteria for initiation of exercise in pts with HF
compensated HF RR <30 cpm Less than moderate fatigue Crackles in less than one half of the lungs RHR < 120 bpm
45
CHF goals and outcomes
improved physiological response to increased oxygen demand improved self management of symptoms risk of secondary impairments is reduced increased performance and independence in performing ADLs
46
Aerobic exercises for pts with CHF should be
low impact with gradual progression
47
Function of strength training in CHF patients
help improve peripheral muscle strength and endurance
