The effects of selected medications on Heart Rate (HR), Blood Pressure (BP) responses during exercise/ exercise performance. 4. Benefits of exercise for CV conditions 5. Common considerations / precautions and contraindications to exercise. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, including those over the age of 85 years. An estimated 80.7 million Americans have one or more types of CVD. Approximately 38.2 million are individuals older than age 60 years. The total direct and indirect costs of CVD and stroke were an estimated $448.5 billion in 2008. These numbers support the ongoing need for chronic disease management in the elderly and the potential role cardiac rehabilitation may play. Atherosclerosis Altered myocardial muscle mechanics Valvular dysfunction Arrhythmias Hypertension Hypertension Orthopnea (difficulty breathing while laying flat) Palpitations Dyspnea Peripheral edema Chronic medications Apprehension, anxiety…threat of MI Arrhythmias Restricted activity Atherosclerosis A disease in which lipid laden plaque (lesions) is formed within the inner layer of the blood vessel of moderate and large size arteries. It is also the primary contributor to CVD and PVD. Altered Myocardial Muscle Mechanics & Valvular Dysfunctions Involves the systolic and/ or diastolic properties of the myocardium, resulting in an impairment of LV function. Referred to as CHF when accompanied by signs and symptoms of edema. Other causes include, myocardial scarring/ remodeling as result of MI, cardiomyopathy or impairment in valvular function, especially the mitral and aortic valves. Arrhythmias Caused by a disturbance in the electrical activity of the heart, resulting in impaired electrical impulse formation or conduction. Irregular, rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow to the body. Most common in elderly the population would be atrial fibrillation (a-fib Hypertension Most prevalent CVD in the US and one of the most powerful contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Systolic is above 140 mm Hg Diastolic is above 90 mm Hg Three Stages: 1. 130-140 / 90-100 2. 140-160 / 100-110 3. >160 / >110 Effects of Medications on HR, BP and Exercise: Beta Blockers: Used to treat high BP, heart failure, angina, arrhythmia, MI Slows the heart rate and reduces the force with which the heart muscle contracts, thereby lowering blood pressure. Decreases HR and BP at rest and exercise Calcium Channel Blockers: Used to treat high BP, angina, arrhythmia. Reduce electrical conduction within the heart, decrease the force of contraction (work) of the muscle cells, and dilate arteries. Dilation of the arteries reduces blood pressure and thereby the effort the heart must exert to pump blood. Increases/decreases HR and decreases BP at rest and exercise. Vasodilators: Used to treat high BP Dilates blood vessels, blood flows more easily through your arteries, your heart doesn't have to pump as hard and your blood pressure is reduced. Increases HR and decreases BP at rest and exercise. ACE Inhibitors: Used to treat high BP Dilates blood vessels to improve the amount of blood the heart pumps and lowers blood pressure. Decreases BP at rest and exercise. Digitalis: Used to treat CHF, arrhythmia, to increase blood flow throughout your body. Strengthens the force of the heartbeat by increasing the amount of calcium in the heart's cells. As calcium builds up in the cells, it causes a stronger heartbeat. Decreased HR in patient’s w/ atrial fibrillation and CHF, no effect on BP at rest and exercise. Diuretics: Used to treat high BP, edema, heart failure, kidney & liver problems. Help your body get rid of unneeded water and salt through the urine. Getting rid of excess fluid makes it easier for your heart to pump and controls blood pressure. No effect on HR , BP decrease/or may have no effect at rest or exercise. Effects of Medications on HR, BP and Exercise: Nitrates: Used to treat chest pain, angina, CHF Nitrates are a vasodilator, improving blood flow and allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle. Increases HR and decreases BP at rest and exercise. Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to chronic disease management that encompasses nutrition consultation, psychosocial services, lifestyle modification, and risk factor modification management, in addition to aerobic and resistance training. Strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system. Improve your circulation and help your body use oxygen better. Improve your symptoms of congestive heart failure. Increase energy levels so you can do more activities without becoming tired or short of breath. Increase endurance. Lower blood pressure Improve muscle tone and strength. Improve balance and joint flexibility. Strengthen bones. Help reduce body fat and help you reach a healthy weight. Help reduce stress, tension, anxiety, and depression. Boost self-image and self-esteem. Improve sleep. Make you feel more relaxed and rested. Make you look fit and feel healthy. Improved cardiorespiratory function Improved coronary artery disease risk factors: cholesterol, hypertension, stress, weight, diabetes, smoking Improved mental health Decreased morbidity and mortality Medical: Patients with stable angina Myocardial Infarction CHF Postsurgical: Patients who have undergone: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) Congestive heart failure Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (to open blocked coronary arteries caused by CAD) Heart transplantation Heart-valve surgery The duration of a common aerobic exercise training sessions vary from 20 – 40 minutes at an intensity approximating 70%–85%of the max HR. A deconditioned patient may be aerobically trained at as low as 50%–60%. Exercise prescriptions are based on: Frequency Intensity Time (duration) Type (mode) Aerobic F: (Frequency): 4-7 days per week I: (Intensity): 50-85% VO2 max/HR max, RPE of 11-13 T: (Time): 30-60 min/session T: (Type) Large muscles, aerobic Resistance training F: (Frequency): 2-3 days per week I: (Intensity) Low resistance and high reps T: (Time) 1-3 sets; up to 30 minutes/session Normal pulse rate for an adult is 60 – 100 bpm Although there's a wide range of normal, an unusually high or low heart rate may indicate an underlying problem. Tachycardia- HR that is consistently above 100 beats a minute. Bradycardia- HR that is below 60 beats a minute Signs or symptoms- fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath, palpitations, angina, and lightheadedness. Fitness level significantly impacts the normal pulse rate for older adults. It is lower if you are well conditioned and higher if you are not. Age Sex Activity level Fitness level Air temperature Body position (standing up or lying down, for example) Emotions Body size Medication use Your heart rate tends to increase as you age because your heart is not as strong or efficient as it used to be. Aging can also lead to stiffer arteries that are sometimes clogged with fat, increasing your heart's workload even further. Target Heart Rate: is the desired percent of the exercise intensity, times the Max HR (220 - age) Example : 185 (Max HR: 220-35) X 70% (Intensity) = THR (130) Age 50% of Max HR 85% of Max HR Max HR 50 90 bpm 153 bpm 170 55 83 bpm 140 bpm 165 60 80 bpm 136 bpm 160 65 78 bpm 132 bpm 155 70 75 bpm 128 bpm 150 80 70 bpm 119 bpm 145 85 67 bpm 114 bpm 140 90 65 bpm 110 bpm 130 VO2max: volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity. As we get older our VO2max decreases. The decline is due to a number of factors including a reduction in maximal heart rate and maximum stoke volume (the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction), cardiac output (CO): the amount of blood that leaves the ventricles.
