REHABILITACION CARDIACA

What is one of the main goals of phase 1 (acute) cardiac rehabilitation in the hospital?

• Perform high-intensity exercise

• Promote independence in daily activities

• Perform exercise in the supine position

• Increase the risk of thrombi

How long is the typical hospital stay for an uncomplicated myocardial infarction (MI)?

• 1-2 days

• 3-5 days

• 7-10 days

• 10-14 days

What is one goal of exercise in phase 1 of cardiac rehabilitation?

• Increase the risk of thrombi

• Reduce the risk of thrombi and maintain joint mobility

• Perform high-intensity exercises

• Avoid mobilization

What is a poor prognostic indicator in cardiac rehabilitation?

• Good glucose control

• Adequate blood pressure control

• Exercise-induced ischemia

• Improvement in functional capacity

What exercise should be avoided in patients with heart failure due to orthopnea?

• Low-impact exercises

• Exercises in the supine or prone position

• Aerobic exercises

• Exercises in the upright position

What is the typical intensity range for exercise in patients with chronic heart failure?

• 50%-60% of functional capacity

• 70%-85% of functional capacity

• 90%-100% of functional capacity

• 40%-50% of functional capacity

After coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, what should be avoided for 4-6 weeks?

• Low-impact exercises

• Stretching exercises

What is the recommended frequency for exercise sessions in phase 2 of cardiac rehabilitation?

• Once per week

• 2-3 sessions per week

• Daily

• Twice a month

What is a sign of exercise intolerance in post-MI patients?

• Increase in muscle strength

• Reduction in functional capacity

• Sudden increase in dyspnea

• Improvement in aerobic capacity

What should be used to measure exercise intensity in patients with pacemakers?

• Only heart rate

• Only blood pressure

• Combination of heart rate, blood pressure, RPE, and METs

• Only the dyspnea scale
