cardiac rehabilitation II

Phase II: education by physiotherapist/ dietician/ cardiac nurse...

Patient will stay home during phase II and their activity level will keep as 4 METs.

They are also encouraged to walk around the corridors 3 times a day with their heart rate not more than 20beats of their resting heart rate.

Phase III: Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program

we will exercise the patient with the intensity at 60-75% HR reserve (or Borg scale 12-15) of aerobic exercise + low moderate resistance training.

what about ECG? exercise stress test? cardiac surgery? diagnostic test????
