Q

PTCA

A

widening narrowed or obstructed vessels

techniques

  • balloon dilations
  • –most common
  • rotational atherectomy
  • –central bulky lesions
  • directional atherectomy with laser
  • –large lesions
  • –high risk for damage to vessel

Q

PTCA OUTCOMES

A

RELATIVELY SAFE
-patient often awake

RELIEVES
-angina

IMPROVES

  • quality of life
  • functional capacity

RESTENOSIS COMMON

  • within 6 months
  • 25% of patients

MEDICAL ATTENTION POST PCA IMPORANT
-behavioral modification
-
—physical activity smoking cessation, diet, weight loss, etc.

Q

Complications of PTCA

A
  • acute vessel closure
  • chromic restenosis
  • thrombotic distal embolism
  • myocardial infarction
  • arrythymia
  • coronary artery dissection
  • bleeding
17
Q

Stent Therapy

A

A tube keeping arteries open

  • steel framework
  • eventually covered endothelium
  • drug-eluting
  • —reduce
  • ——acute complications
  • ——restenosis

Often used with PTCA

18
Q

Drug-Eluting Silent

A

Coated with slowly released medication

  • to prevent the growth of scar tissue in artery lining
  • –metal stents may cause tissue to grow over stent
  • ——leading to REBLOCKAGE
  • helps artery remain smooth and open
19
Q

Stent Therapy Outcomes

A
RELIEVES angina
IMPROVES functional capacity and quality of life
RESTONSIS
-bare metal
---24-40%
-drug eluting
---40%
OUTCOMES depend on comorbidities
MEDICAL ATTENTION POST PTCA IMPORTANT
-medications
-behavior modification
----physical activity smoking cessation, diet, weight loss, etc.

Q

GXT Considerations: CABs

A

Hospital Stay post-CABs
-2-5 days

Submaximal
-predischarge

Symptom-limited
-3-4 weeks post-CABs

Wound Healing

  • chest
  • leg
21
Q

GXT Considerations: PTCA and Stents

A

Hospital stay post-PTCA

  • 1-2 days
  • often outpatient

GXT
-not important immediately

Symptoms
-may indicated re-stenosis

22
Q

Cardiac Rehabilitation-Impatient

A
Components
-ambulation
-range of motion exercises
-education
for PCIs minimal
-some might be done at home
23
Q

Cardiac Rehabilitation-Outpatient

A
  • should start as early as possible
  • multifactorial
  • —education for patients and spouses
  • more room for improvement for CABs then PCI
  • exercise even without PCI
  • –start with lighter intensities
  • –increase intensity and volume progressively
24
Q

Benefits of Exercise

A
Improvements
-cardiac function
-functional capacity
-less angina during exercise
-less re-stenosis post PCI
Less Mortality 
-8-17% reduction in mortality risk
---for every 1 MET improvement
-faster return to work
-less re-admission
-psychological benefits
---greater self-efficacy
---less depression and stress
25
Q

Special considerations for training

A
  • some patients may not seek lifestyle modification
  • progression for CABs patients usually sower

CABs

  • would healing
  • stability of sternum
  • hypopovolemia
  • low hemoglobin
  • outcomes of impatient rehab

PCI

  • restenosis common
  • —education on symptom identification

Comorbidities common

26
Q

Cardiovascular Training: Initial

A
  • based on clinical studies, not GXT
  • lower duration
  • lower intensity
  • increase gradually
  • monitoring of HR, BP, RPE, Angina, ECG
27
Q

Cardiovascular Training: Later

A
  • based on GXT
  • follow ACSM guidelines
  • progress gradually
  • consider status and goals of patient
28
Q

Flexibility Training

A
  • important component of early training
  • standard guidelines apply
  • may be performed while sitting, standing, supine
29
Q

Strength Training

A

Incorporated Gradually

  • based on clinical status
  • PCI patients
  • –often immediately
  • CABs patients
  • –after 4 weeks
  • –once wound is stable
  • –light weights
  • increase volume and intensity gradually
  • ankle or wrist weights
  • machines
