Guidelines Exercise Management for Patients with
Chronic Diseases

• MI Patients
• Recommendations for Exercise Testing
• Recommendations for Exercise Programming
• Intensity generally corresponds to
• 40 - 85 of maximal heart rate reserve,
• Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) 11 16
• is used as an adjunct to heart rate as an
  intensity guide.

2
Myocardial Infarction (cont)

• Frequency of exercise is at least three days per
  week.
• Duration of training involves 20- 40 minutes of
  continuous or interval exercise, preceded and
  following by warm-up and cool-down periods of
  about 10 minutes.

Medication MI patients

• Medications
• See appendix A.
• Beta blockers No major effect on exercise
  train-ability in cardiac patients.
• Calcium channel blockers No major effect on
  exercise trainability in cardiac patients.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABGS)
Angioplasty

• CABGS Angioplasty
• Effects on the Exercise Response
• Effects on Exercise Training
• Management and Medications
• Recommendations for Exercise Testing

10
CABGS Angioplasty (cont)

• Recommendations for Exercise
• Programming
• Begin impatient exercise rehabilitation sooner,
• Progress at a more accelerated rate
• Devote more attention to upper extremity
  range-of-motion exercises.

11
CABGS Angioplasty (cont)

• Upper body ergometry or resistive exercises
  should be avoided until the healing of the
  sternal incision is complete (generally 4 - 8
  weeks after CABG)
• Subjects may begin to resume normal activities,
  including light to moderate exercise such as
  brisk walking, within 24 to 48 hours after
  rehabilitation (Phase II) provides close
  monitoring supervision in which failures
  (restenosis) can be detected early.

CABGS Angioplasty (cont)

• Medications
• See chapter 3 programming table and appendix A.
• Beta blockers No major effect on exercise
  trainability in cardiac patients.
• Calcium channel blockers No major effect on
  exercise trainability in cardiac patients.

19
Angina Ischemia

• Effects of Exercise Training
• Recommendations for exercise testing.
• Recommendations for Exercise
• Programming.
• Before entry into a cardiac rehabilitation
  program, all people who have experienced angina
  symptoms should have a diagnostic exercise test
  to establish functional capacity and the severity
  of their disease.

20
Patient with Angina

• If angina occurs during the exercise test, the
  work rate and heart rate at which angina occurred
  are useful for determining the initial upper
  training limits for that person.
• Before clients are allowed to exercise, they
  must
• Define angina
• Identify angina symptoms
• Identify their own angina symptoms
• Describe the immediate treatment

22
Patient with Angina

• Medications
• See Appendix A
• Most cardiac medications can alter the
  hemodynamic responses to exercise and possibly
  reduce the sensitivity to the test.

Patient with Angina

• Medications
• See Appendix A
• Most cardiac medications can alter hemodynamics
  during exercise.

27
Hypertension
28
Hypertension (cont )

• Recommendations for Exercise Testing
• Recommendations for Exercise
• Programming
• It is recommended that people with more marked
  elevations in BP (180/110) add endurance
  training to their treatment regimen only after
  initiating drug therapy.

29
Exercise Rx

• The mode (large muscle, aerobic activities)
• frequency (3-7 days per wk),
• duration (20-60 min) and
• intensity of exercise (50-85 of maximal oxygen
  consumption)
• The above recommendations for persons with
  hypertension are similar to those for healthy
  adults.

30
Hypertensive Patients
31
Hypertensive Patients (cont)
32
Medications

• Beta blockers
• Attenuate HR by about 30 contractions per min
• These medications that may cause post-exertional
  hypertension
• Alpha 1 blockers
• alpha 2 blockers
• calcium channel blockers
• vasodilators

33
Recommendations for Exercise Testing

• Primary objectives of a treadmill test for
  clients with PAD are to
• Obtain reliable measures of claudication pain
  times
• Obtain reliable measures of ankle pressure
  following exercise
• Assess whether coronary artery disease is present.

34
Recommendations for Exercise Programming

• Designed with a goal of improving claudication
  pain symptoms and reducing cardiovascular risk
  factors.
• Most persons should do interval walking or stair
  climbing 3 times a week, at an intensity that
  causes pain of a score of 3 on a 4-point scale.

35
Recommendations for Exercise Programming

• This type of program may start with 20 minutes of
  exercise per session at 40 of heart rate
  reserve, and gradually progress to 40 min. at 70
  of heart rate reserve, over a period of about 6
  months.
• Non-weight bearing tasks may be used for warming
  up and cooling down.

36
Exercise Programming (cont)

• Exercise training should not be performed until
  medical clearance, based on a physical exam,
  blood screening and graded exercise test (GXT)
  results, has been completed.
• Exercise should not be performed when there are
  concomitant co-morbidities that may limit
  exercise tolerance.

41
Medications

• Pentoxyphylline, dipyridamole, aspirin, and
  warfarin May improve time to claudication.
• Beta blockers May decrease time to claudication.
