continue to terminal exercise?
• Moderate to severe/increasing angina
• Marked dyspnea
stop and stabilize patient
continue to terminal exercise?
• Dizziness, light-headedness, ataxia
• Cyanosis/pallor
• Excessive fatigue
stop and stabilize patient
continue to terminal exercise?
• Leg cramps/claudication
• Blunted BP response
• Hypertensive BP response >180 or 110 mmHg
stop and stabilize patient
continue to terminal exercise?
• Fall in SBP of 10-15 mmHg
• Significant change in EKG rhythm- ST elevation/depression, looking for changes from baseline
stop and stabilize patient
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
• Medically stable post-MI
• Stable angina
yes, stable
- predictable threshold for angina
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab • CABG • Stable heart failure • Heart transplantation • Valvular heart surgery
yes, stable
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
• PAD, CAD
yes, stable
normal ejection fraction?
~55-85%
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
Unstable angina
contraindication
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
• Uncontrolled hypertension (>180 or >110)
• Orthostatic BP drop of >20 mm Hg with symptoms
contraindication
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
• Aortic stenosis
• Uncontrolled arrythmias
• Pericarditis/myocarditis
contraindication
Y/N? indication for cardiac rehab
• 3rd degree AV block without pacemaker
• Uncontrolled PE/DVT
contraindication
6-Minute Walk Test
distance good long-term survival rate
> 300meters
calculate exercise intensity
borg scale vs HR
borg x 10 = HR
calculate exercise intensity
Rate Pressure Product
HR x SBP
Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT)
eg. bruce protocol
+Positive?
-Negative?
+Positive= signs of myocardial oxygen supply
inadequate for demand
- Negative= balanced oxygen supply and demand, eg. cancer patient, nothing bad happening
what phase cardiac rehab?
Divided into 6 subcategory levels, targeting up to 6 MET’s
1. Bedrest 1-1.5 METs
2. Sitting 1.5-2.0 METs
3. Room 2-2.5 METs
4. Hall 2.5-3.0 METs
5. Progressive Hall 3-4 METs 6. Progressive Hall 4-5 METs
Phase I—Inpatient, acute stay
what phase cardiac rehab?
• Increase HR 10-20 bpm initially
• No complaints of dizziness, l/h, angina
• <13/20 Borg RPE
Phase I—Inpatient, acute stay
what phase cardiac rehab?
• Keep activities <90% of ISCHEMIC RPP (RPP at which ischemic symptoms are noted)
• RPE 11-13 (Light to Somewhat Hard)
• Target 5-9 MET’s
II—Outpatient Phase
what phase cardiac rehab? • Mode—Large muscle groups, aerobic • Freq.—3x/week minimum • Duration—12 weeks • Warm-up, condition, cool-down • 55-90% HR Max
II—Outpatient Phase
phase I cardiac rehab
RPE should stay < #?
goal MET?
<13/20 borg rpe
6 MET
what phase cardiac rehab?
• Self-regulated
• Maintenance/progression x 6-12 months
