Basic Acute Tolerance to exercise Guidelines
HR 20-30-40 bpm above resting
No hypoactive BP response drop 10-20
No dysrhythmia/dyspnea
RPE 11-13 (3-5 light to somewhat hard)
Characteristics CHF
DYSPNEA/cough -paroxys, orthop, exercise S3 HEART SOUND Fatigue Exercise intolerance Periph edema -JVD -pitting
[[tachy, cold, pale, cyanotic extemities, weight gain, cracks]]
tubular sounds
NYHA Functional Classifications HF
Class 1
No limitation exercise, no symptoms with normal activity
-poor prognosis
Class 2
Slight limitation to exercise, symptoms with normal activity
-bad prognosis
Class 3
Marked limitation with exercise, symptoms with easy activity
-awful prognosis
Class 4
Inability to carry out activity w/out discomfort, sx at rest
-Terminal prognosis
ACC/AHA New Classification HF
A
At risk for HF without structural heart disease/sx
B
Structural disease without HF
-NYHA 1
C
Structural disease with prior/current HF sx
-NYHA 2/3
D
Refractory HF needing specialized interventions
-NYHA 4
CXR reason
Cheap/fast way
Look at abnormalities of heart/lungs
Blood Cell Count reason
RBC: O2 transport
Hemoglobin: oxygenation
Hematocrit: impedes blood flow-> chest pain, dizzy, SOB
WBC: infection response-> ex intol, fever, sweat
Platelets: clotting ability
Electrolyte reason
Sodium: fluid levels in body
Potassium: dysrythmia risk/cardiac evens
Calcium: due to renal insufficiency-> dysryth/muscle weakness
BUN/creatanine: shows kidney function
Cardiac Markers reason
Shows necrosis- releases enzymes when tissue death
Trop 1 in striated muscle
CK-MB: peaks 12-24hrs
Myoglobin: peaks 8-10
Troponin: peaks 12 hrs-> last up to 10 days
Echo reason
Heart function: valve function, motion of wall. EF
Heart anatomy: size ventricles, thickness of walls, valves
Vital Signs
BP HR via ECG Auscultations Temp RR Pulse ox (SpO2) RPE Pain
Sternal Precaution Risk Factors
Obesity Diabetes COPD Smoking Female big boobs Increase CP bypass Increase time on vent Limited functional capacity
Universal Sternal Precaution
Pain free ROM ASAP
- log roll bed mobil; avoid active curl up
- splint chest when coughing
- limit 10 (20) lb lifting; use bilateral
Common Medications
-olol: B blockers (arythmias, MI prevention, HTN) Digoxin: (heart failure) -prils: ACE inhib (CHF, HTN) Medtormin: anti-diabetic Statins (cholesterol) Heparin/Coum (anti-coag)
Angiogram reason
Percentage of occlusion in cardiac arteries
-CAD/MI risk
Cardiac Rehab Risk Stratisfication
HIGH: z5 Mets
- EFz40%
- survivor cardiac arrest
- complex vent dysrythmias
- abnormal hemodynamics with exercise
MOD: 5-7 METS
- EF 40-49%
- angina with mod exercise or in recovery
LOW: 7+ METS
- EF >50%
- absence of induced dystrythmias, uncomplicated ME
- normal hemodynamics with exercise
- no angina
ABSOLUTE Contraindication to exercise
Unstable angina
Active endocarditis
Uncontrolled cardiac arythmias w/ hemodynam compromise: VT, 3rd hb, New SVT, New brady,tachy
Severe/sx aortic stenosis
Decompensated symptomatic HF
Acute PE
SBP dropp more than 10
Sign/sx of exercise intolerance: angina, marked dyspnea, pallor, cyanosis
Relative Contraindications to exercise
Acute myo/pericarditis
Left main coronary artery stenosis
Mod steontic valvular disease
Electrolyte abnormal
New brady,tachy without compromise
Afib with uncontrolled vent rate
Resting BP 200/110
RPE 15+
Uncontrolled diabetes Glucose 400+
Post-Op Intervention
Mobilize: graviatational stress
Establish cough: prevent aspiration, increase ventilation
Ventilate: improve inspiratory capacity
Ambulate: increase FRC
Phase 1 Cardiac Rehab
POD 1: 1-2 METs
- UE/LE warm upo
- OOB to chair
POD 2: 2-3 METs
- UE/LE warm up
- Ambulate/gait
POD 3-5: up to 3-4 METs
- ambulate 5-10 min 2-4x/day
- 1-2 flights stairs
When to treat a DVT?
Above knee-> give medication
Below knee->
PE/severe cardiopul compromise? -> meds
DVT with risk limb loss? -> meds
If no->
Active/high bleed risk? -> meds
If no->
Treat!!! compression, early ambulation, meds
With coumadin if proper renal sufficiency

Wells Prediction Rule for PE
Sx of DVT Pulse 100+ 4 weeks immob or surgery Previous DVT/PE Hemoptysis Malignancy
High risk 6+= 78% PE
Mod risk 2-6= 28% PE
Low risk 0-1= 3% PE
Heparin/Anticoag Side-effects
Bleeding
Hemorrage
Thrombocytopenia: life threatening increase platelet ag
-starts 5-10 days aftery start meds
– look for decrease platelet count 30-50%
Look for: new pain, discomfort Joint swelling Bruising Falls
Aerobic fitness based off MET levels
Low z7.9 -> higher rates mortality/CAD
Intermed: 7.9-10.8
High: 10.8+
