Exercise Guidelines For Cardiovascular Disease Flashcards
Goal of cardiac Rehab
Enable patients to resume active and productive lives within imposed limitations
Specific objectives of cardiac rehab
- restoring optimal physiologic, psychosocial and vocational status
- Prevention of progression or reversal of disease
- reduction of risk of SD and reinfarction
- Alleviation of symptoms
- Patients become responsible and autonomous for their medical treatment and lifestyle charge
Diagnosis Candidates for cardiovascular disease
- MI
- CABG
- Stable Angina Pectoris
- Silent Ischemia
- Valve Replacement
- High risk for CHD
- Congenital heart defects
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Transplant –> heart and lung
- Secondary and tertiary Prevetion
- PAD
What is included in the multidisciplinary program
- Medical treatment
- Nutritional counseling
- Smoking cessation
- Risk stratification
- Stress management
- Hypertension management
- Control of diabetes or dyslipidemia
Phase 1 of cardiac rehab is during what period and last how long?
-In- patient period
Lasts about 3 days (until discharge)
What is the goal of phase 1
Counteract the deleterious physiological effects of BED REST and prevent a “cardiac Cripple” from emerging
What type of activities are performed phase 1?
-Low level functional activities
Passive ROM to active ROM and progress to walking and stairs
When is phase 2 for cardiac rehab and how long does it last?
Out patient phase
-3 months duration
What is the goal of phase 2 cardiac rehab
Increase FUNCTIONAL and CARDIOVASCULAR efficiency of the patients
How is cardiac rehab monitored for phase II
Telemetry
Exercise for phase II rehab?
Individual exercise prescription for each patient
When is phase III and how long does it last?
- Supervised phase
- 4-6 months duration
Goal of phase III
To decrease supervision of exercise program and to promote self-regulation of said program
How it phase III monitored?
Heart Rate (NO telemetry)
When is phase IV and how long does it last?
Unsupervised phase
Lifetime in duration
Phase IV goal
Maintain the lifestyle the lifestyle changes acquired in cardiac rehab
What is the exercises of phase IV
Client exercises on own
Exercise reduces what ?

exercise causes what type of change in lipid profile?
postive change
Exercise increase cellular sensitivity to?
