Introduction Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is part of the management of patients with established cardiovascular disease. Echocardiography and CPET are used to evaluate cardiac function and cardiorespiratory fitness improvement after such interventions. Purpose To analyze the cardiovascular impact of an exercise based CR program on ventricular remodeling and functional capacity. Methods Prospective cohort study which included consecutive pts who were participating in a centre-based CR program lasting 8-12 weeks from 2019 to 2021. The CR program included initial evaluation by cardiologist and rehabilitation specialist with collection of clinical characteristics, three times weekly supervised exercise sessions, appointment with rehabilitation nurse, nutritionist and psycologist and educational sessions. Lab tests, echocardiogram and CPET were done before and after completion of the program. Results We analysed 349 patients (82% male, mean age 60 ±11,4 years) most of which referred by ischemic heart disease (83%) followed by valvular heart disease (7%). After program completion there was a significant improvement in echo ejection fraction (48,4 ± 12,8% vs 52,07 ± 12,8% Z=-5,036 p Conclusions Exercise based cardiac rehabilitation has a very favorable impact in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness evaluated by several CPET parameters and such impact is also present in high risk individuals with reduced ejection fraction. Advocating for increasing referral of these patients is key to better improve cardiorespiratory capacity. |
