Q

Activity restriction - acute MI

A

once acute MI has stopped, activity can increase but should be limited to 5 METs or 70% of age predicted HR max for 4 to 6 wks following MI

Q

Activity restriction - Acute heart failure

A

oxygen demand should not be increased in pt in acute or decompensated failure
activity can be gradually inc once not showing signs of decompensation

A

using anastamosing graft

improved coronary blood flow

17
Q

Surgical interventions - Transplant

A

used in end stage myocardial disease

18
Q

Surgical interventions - Transplant - Heteroptics

A

Involves leaving the natural heart and piggybacking the donor heart

19
Q

Surgical interventions - Transplant - Orthotopic

A

involves removing the diseased heart and replacing it with the donor heart

20
