    Study Notes

    Cardiac Intervention/Cardiac Rehab

    • Heidi Tymkew is a Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Physical Therapy
    • Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive exercise, education, and behavior modification program that improves the physical and emotional conditions of individuals with heart disease.

    Exercise Prescription

    • Exercise prescriptions should include a warm-up and cool-down
    • Vital signs should be monitored during exercise training
    • Components of exercise prescription include Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (FITT).

    Determine Maximum Heart Rate

    • If a formal exercise test is done, the maximum heart rate (HR) from that test is used, not a calculated HR.
    • Methods include calculating maximum heart rate (HR) as 220 minus the patient's age for healthy individuals under 40. For other patients, calculate maximum heart rate (HR) as 208 minus 0.7 times the patient's age. A third method is the Tanaka method.

    Determine Target HR Zone

    • Target HR can be calculated using the Karvonen formula: [ (Maximum HR – Resting HR) x Intensity] + Resting HR
    • An example uses a 60-year-old male with a maximum HR of 166 bpm and a resting HR of 66.

    Intensity

    • Intensity is measured by percent of maximum heart rate reserve and with a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale of 6-20.
    • A table defines different intensity levels based on percent of heart rate reserve and RPE scale.

    Normal Vital Sign Response

    • Heart rate (HR) gradually increases with workload, increasing approximately 10 bpm per metabolic equivalent (MET) level.
    • Systolic blood pressure (SBP) gradually increases with workload, increasing approximately 10 bpm per MET level, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) also increases, increasing by approximately 10 mmHg with activity.
    • Respiratory rate and SpO2 gradually increase with workload.

    Abnormal Response to Exercise

    • Excessive heart rate increase
    • Flat or decreasing heart rate
    • Hypertensive blood pressure response (SBP > 210 mmHg, DBP > 110 mmHg)
    • Decrease in SBP greater than 10 mmHg with activity
    • Failure of SBP to increase with increase of activity
    • Changes in DBP greater than 10 mmHg
    • Any significant change in cardiac rhythm

    Cardiac Rehabilitation

    • Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary program.
    • Includes components like lipid lowering, blood pressure management, glucose control, weight management, smoking cessation, exercise counselling, on-site exercise sessions, exercise stress testing, and dietary counselling.

    Benefits of Cardiac Rehab

    • Improves physical fitness
    • Reduces hospitalizations and mortality
    • Reduces cardiovascular risk factors (HTN, DM, Obesity, Smoking)
    • Reduces stress and anxiety
    • Improves quality of life

    Cardiac Rehab Utilization

    • Only 19-34% of eligible patients participate in cardiac rehab programs
    • 25% of Medicare patients participate
    • Potential barriers include: lack of physician referral lack of perceived need/awareness of CR limited healthcare coverage/cost work responsibilities distance to facility transportation language barriers

    Case #1 (65-year-old male post-MI)

    • Exercise prescription: Details about target heart rate will require additional information, such as resting heart rate and maximum heart rate from an exercise stress test.
    • Patient education: Specific instructions.

    Case #2 (50-year-old female post-anterior MI)

    • Assessment of exercise response: Analysis of the exercise data provided, including a careful look at the trends of heart rate and blood pressure. Pay attention to any deviations in the patient's response or any problematic symptoms.
    • Recommendation for the following session: Suggested adjustments to the session based on analysis, perhaps modifying the speed or incline gradually to prevent overexertion and enable patient to gradually increase tolerance.
