Q

Low risk individuals for CVD

A
  • Individuals who are asymptomatic with no more than one risk factor threshold
  • If there vitals are okay and normal response to exercise = don’t need to take them all the time
20
Q

moderate risk individuals for CVD

A

Those who meet the threshold for 2 or more risk factors

21
Q

High risk of CVD

A
  • Those with known cardiovascular,pulmonary or metabolic disease or significant signs and symptoms
  • Check vitals initially, every visit and before they leave
22
Q

Exercise testing: maximal exercise testing

A
  • VO2 max or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise
  • This test is the gold standard cardio-respiratory fitness
  • Not done in clinic
23
Q

Submaximal exercise testing

A
  • Has a predetermined end point (based on heart rate or BP targets) unless signs and symptoms occur or the goal is achieved
  • Has a determined end point
  • Get them to a percentage of the max heart rate
  • Could use BP and have a set end point
  • Outpatient will have different end points than inpatient
  • RPE could also be an endpoint
24
Q

Types of sub-maximal testing

A
  • Cycling tests
  • Submaximal treadmill tests
  • 6 minutes walk test
  • 12 minute run/walk test
  • Functional activity (in acute care the tests are functional activities)
25
Q

Why sub maximal exercise testing?

A
  • Assess current performance/patient status
  • Fitness
  • Functional limitations
  • Look at change over time
  • Examine the effect of PT intervention medications
26
Q

Submaximal exercise predictive responses (what can be used to measure

A
  • Resting vital signs: an indicator of fitness and health. Does your patient have reserve for activity
  • Target vital signs (endpoints of activity)
  • Heart rate recovery
  • Heart rate variability
  • Rate pressure product
  • Self-perceived rating scales (borg/borg dyspnea scale)
27
Q

Patient should not exercise if pulse rate is

A
  • > 120 -130
  • <40 bpm
28
Q

In acute care when should you terminate exercise
1. pulse rate
2. respiration
3. SBP
4. DBP
5.SPO2
6. arrhythmias
7. RPE

A
  1. 20-30 above resting
  2. talk test
  3. > 200
  4. > 110
  5. <88
  6. > 6/min
  7. 11-12 (6-20 RPE) ~3 (0-10) RPE
29
Q

HRR

A
  • heart rate reserve
  • (HRR) = Max HR - resting HR)
  • BP - is there enough room to work
  • How much room
  • Max systolic-resting systolic
30
Q

Normal response to exercise for vital signs

A
  • Blood pressure increases about 10 mmHg per MET (moderate activity 3-5.9 METs)
  • HR increases about 10-15 bpm per MET
  • Many individuals will have abnormal responses related to deconditioning and disease
31
Q

Max heart rate/target training heart rate

A
  • TTHR = 220-age x 65% (low end of range) and TTH = 220 - age x 85% (high end of range)
32
Q

heart rate reserve method for training heart rate

A
  • Heart rate reserve = [(HRmax-RHR)x%]-HR resting
  • THR (low end) = [(HRmax-HRresting)x60%] + HR resting
  • THR (High end) = [(HR max-HRresting)x80%] +HR resting
  • Using this method, deconditioned individuals can still benefit from work as low as 50% of HRmax or heart rate reserve method. Start low, progress as patient tolerates
33
Q

Heart rate recovery

A
  • A measure of how quickly your HR returns to normal after you stop exercising
  • A shorter recovery generally indicates better CV health health and links to lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease
  • Generally 18 beats or higher is - recommended
34
Q

Grading scale for heart rate recovery in one minute

A
  • Generally 18 beats or higher is recommended
    <12 bpm in one minute is an indicator of poor cardiovascular health and increased risk for disease
    0-12 = poor
    12-24 = average
    24-36 = good
    36-48 = excellent
    48-60 = superior
35
Q

Heart rate variability

A
  • A measure of the impact of your autonomic nervous system
  • HRV is a measure of variance between heartbeats or RR intervals
  • Higher variability indicates better fitness fitness
    Indicates effective autonomic nervous system input
  • High = sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work well together
    Rest your HR gets slower
  • Lower = sympathetic nervous doesn’t get rest possibly due to stress
36
Q

How does HRV work

A
  • Brain → ANS
    ANS:
  • Exercise and stress → sympathetic NS activation → decreased HRV: fatigue and reduced performance
  • OR rest and recovery → parasympathetic NS activation → growth and repair, increased HRV: readiness, increased performance
37
Q

Rate pressure product

A
  • Cardiovascular product or double produce RPP = SBP x HR
  • There is stable angina
  • They are seeing a physician but no evidence of tissue death
  • Given nitroglycerin
  • Ask how often do you take it and do you have it?
  • Used to predict the workload that corresponds with the onset of angina/claudication
38
Q

General indications for stopping exercise testing

A
  • Onset of angina or angina like symptoms (If they are aware they have angina and it increase to moderately severe/increasing chest pain)
  • Drop in systolic BP of >10 mmHg from baseline despite an increase in workload
  • Excessive rise in BP
    (Systolic pressure >200 mmHg or diastolic >110 mmHg
    SOB, Wheezing, leg cramps or significant claudication)
  • Signs or poor perfusion: lightheadedness, confusion, ataxia, pallor, cyanosis, nausea, cold, clammy skin
  • Presence of arrhythmias other than sustained ventricular tachycardia
  • Failure of HR to increase with increase intensity
  • Subject request to stop
  • Physical or verbal manifestations or severe fatigue
  • Failure of testing equipment
39
Q

health related components of fitness and describe

A
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance:
    The ability of the circulatory and respiratory system to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity
  • Body composition: The relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone, and other vital
    parts of the body
  • Muscular strength: The ability of muscle to exert force
  • Muscular endurance: The ability of muscle to continue to perform without fatigue
  • Flexibility: The range of motion available at a joint
40
Q

Skill related components of fitness

A
  • Agility: the ability to change the position of the body in space with speed and accuracy
  • Coordination: the ability to use the senses, such as sight and hearing, together with body parts in performing task smoothly and accurately
  • Balance: the maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving
  • Power: the ability or rate at which one can perform work (force or speed)
  • Reaction time: the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning of the reaction to it
  • Speed: the ability to perform a movement within a short period of time
41
Q

Exercise prescription

A
  • Frequency: most days/week
  • Intensity: based on RPE, target training heart rate range, patient response
  • Time: start at an amount that the patient can tolerate
    Can be accumulated throughout the day
  • Type: a safe activity that is enjoyable and or meaningful to the patient. - Lifestyle activities
  • No two exercise prescriptions are the same
42
Q

BORG scale

A
  • 6-9 very light about 50-60% Max HR
  • 10- 12: noticable breathing deeper but comfortable ~60-70% HR max
  • 13-14: aware of breathing harder more difficult to hold a conversation ~70-80% max HR
  • 15-16: getting uncomfortable about 80-90% max HR
  • 17-20 maximum exertion, hard about 90-100%
43
Q

Should not exercise if patients respiratory rate is

A

> 30 breaths per minute

44
Q

What does a low HRV mean

A
  • sympathetic system is predominant,
  • This indicates that the body is under stress from exercise, psychological or physical stressors.
45
Q

What does a high HRV mean

A
  • parasympathetic is functioning
  • A high HRV indicates better fitness and improved ability to manage and recover from physical and psychological stress.
