- walk 20-50 ft first visit and progress
- freq: 2-4x/day, intervals
precautions for median sternotomy?
- 5-8 wks
- look for sternal instability: mvmd of sternum, pain, cracking, or popping
precautions for pacemakers/defib?
- no ROM above 90 degrees for 3 wks

advers responses to inpatient exercise?
- DBO >110 mmHg
- decrease in SBP >10
- significant ventricular or atrial dysrhythmias w/ or w/o signs/s
- second or third heart block
- S/S of exercise intolerance
Goals of Phase II, Outpatient
- continued education
- increased aerobic capacity
- return to work/play
ideal duration for Phase II outpatient
2-4 wks up to 6 months
What is the KEY factor in Phase II Exercise Prescription
-warm up and cool down
Intensity in Phase II
40-80% HRR
RPE 11-16
-below ischemic threshold
Freq of phase II
4-7 days/wk; 20-60 minutes/day
-increase time
what to monitor in Phase II
weight HR Rhythm BP PRE symptoms before, during and after exercise
adding 3-5 lbs may indicate
fluid retention
when can you start strength training in Phase II?
- 5 wk post MI or 2-3 wks after PTCA
- no S/S
- peak of >5 METS exercise capacity
- below angina threshold
1 RM % for U/E strength training phase II
30-45% UE, LE 50-60%
How often should you strength train during Phase II?
- large muscles
- 2-4 sets
- 8-10 exercises
- 12-15 reps
- 2-3x/wk
RPE scale for Phase II strength training
11-14/20, acclimation technique
benefits of strength training
- less ischemia during exercise (more blood flow to heart)
- fewer arrhythmias during exercise
- higher DBP during exercise
- RPP similar to aerobic
exercise safely below anginla threshold
MI
40-75% HRR, 3-7 days/wk, 20-40 min, longer warm up and cool down
CHF
exercise at least 10-20 ppm below point of stimulation
Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Difibrillatroes ICD
prolonged warm up and cool down
50-75% HRR from exercise test, RPE 11-15, monitor rejection
-cardiac transplant
intermittent exercise sessions
Peripheral vascular disease
when can you not do a target HR
w/ CABG initially and transplant
7 benefits of cardiac rehab
- decrease mortality by 25%
- lower incidence of re-hospitalization
- reduced charges per re-hosp.
- increased exercise participation, endurance and tolerance
- decreased symptoms, stress, cigarettes
- improved lipid profile
- improvement in psychosocial well being
new onset or change in angina sever dyspnea, unusual fatigue light headedness, syncope, near-syncope high HR, pulse irregularity musculoskeletal pain
important warning signs of cardiac disease
