Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Supplementation may be required in form of omega three fatty acids, coq, enzymes, selenium, zinc, and magnesium. One important component of cardiac rehab is also the external counter pulsation, where at high pressures you give high pressures with the cuffs which are applied on the calf, on the pelvis, and on the abdomen. And this would help overall improvement in the overall vascular dilutation and also induction of collateral to the myocardium which may help in relieving the adjoining.

The external balloon counter pulsation called ECP has now become a part of the cardiac rehab programme. There was a study done on 23,430 patients with coronary artery disease on exercise-induced cardiac rehab with 85 randomized control trials. Now, as compared to no exercise controls, what are the clinical benefits of exercise-based cardiac rehab for CAD and heart failure patients? The conclusion of the study on these 85 randomized controlled children was that it reduced cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infection, and hospitalizations in coronary artery disease and heart failure patients. The additional benefit was that cardiac rehab benefits in other populations such as heart failure, rhythm disturbances, and valve issues.

It does help in returning to life roles and also psychosocial benefits. The final take on this study was that a cardiac rehab is a form of chronic care therapy that is injunctive to acute care in patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure. It has proven benefit in reducing cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infection and hospitalizations and coronary artery disease , and heart failure patients. It definitely needs serious consideration while managing patients of coronary artery disease and heart failure. The conclusion was on this particular study, which was made by Grace and Deben , and that the review confirmed that the participation in exercise-based cardiac rehab by patients with coronary artery disease receiving contemporary optimum medical therapy reduces cardiovascular mortality, recurrent cardiac events , and hospitalizations and provides additional evidence supporting the improvement in health-related quality of life and cost-effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation and patients with CAD and heart failure.
