1 Transcatheter Aor-c Valve Replacement and Cardiac Rehabilita-on Derek Zaleski PT, DPT Joe Adler PT, DPT, CCS

2 The learner will: Objec-ves Understand TAVR program at HUP and be able to apply clinical concepts to outside sehngs Apply principles of Phase I and II Cardiac Rehab for pa-ent outcomes Understand current, eligible diagnoses for Phase II outpa-ent cardiac rehab for appropriate d/c recommenda-ons post acute stay Apply EBM principles to physical and psychosocial benefits of apending phase II cardiac rehab

3 Median Sternotomy

4 BYPASS MACHINE

5 Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

6 TAVR Indicated for higher risk pa-ents Frail, mul-ple co- morbidi-es No cardiopulmonary by pass machine No median sternotomy Combined Interven-onal Cards/CT Surgery FDA approval in 2009/2010 Performed in Europe for years 2014 goal 200 pa-ents

7 TAVR Partners Trial Multi-centered Initially trans-femoral approach only High Risk Patients Partners 1 Trial Purpose: Compare TAVR to open approach to medical medical management of aortic valve insufficiency Partners 2 Trial Purpose: Compare types of valves and the use of different sized catheters used to introduce the valves Sapien Study (November-January 2013) Evolution of Gen III valve

8 HUP s TAVR Program Transition to intermediate risk patients Plan to trial transcatheter approach with Mitral Valve surgery Transcatheter approach will end up REPLACING open approach for all valve replacements

9 TAVR CEQI Collaborative project with outpatient TAVR team Inclusion of PT questionnaire in OP EPIC documentation Purpose Retrospective analysis of whether or not patients s/p TAVR, at HUP, are attending phase II Cardiac Rehab

10 History of Cardiac Rehab Dr. Herman Hellerstein founded Cleveland Work Classifica-on Clinic

11 History of Cardiac Rehab First to develop mul-disciplinary approach Pioneered the development of Holter monitoring Published first ar-cle suppor-ng exercise in non- surgical cardiac pa-ents (CAD) 1968: Exercise Therapy in Coronary Disease

12 Cardiac Rehab Guidelines American Associa-on of Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilita-on Professionals (AACVRP) American Heart Associa-on (AHA) American Thoracic Society (ATS) American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)

13 Cardiac Rehabilita-on Phases Phase I- Inpa-ent Phase II- Outpa-ent Phase III- Maintenance Phase IV- Home/Community

14 Phase I Cardiac Rehab Structured program of educa-on and exercise that assists pa-ents with cardiovascular disease achieve op-mal physical and psychosocial health. Surgical and non- surgical pa-ents Educa-on Nutri-on Risk factor modifica-on Post surgical care

15 Common Diagnoses seen at HUP Surgical Pa-ents: AVR MVR CABG Aor-c Dissec-ons/aneurysms Non- surgical pa-ents: Type B Aor-c Dissec-on BP Management CHF (CICU) STEMI/MI/PCI

16 Phase I Hospital Admission to Discharge ***All Phase I cardiac rehab is monitored***

17 Goals of Phase I Enable pa-ent to tolerate ADLs, including: Self- care ac-vi-es; Toile-ng Stair climbing Walking func-onal distances Educa-on is paramount! Ini-ate intensive risk factor and life- style modifica-on Educa-on at HUP provided daily by: RN, PT,OT, CRNP, Nutri-onist MET level goal: 1-4; Use of BORG scale

18 Metabolic Equivalent

19 BORG Scale 6 No exer-on at all Very light Light Somewhat hard Hard (heavy) Very hard Extremely hard 20 Maximal exer-on

20 Phase I Cardiac Rehab Assessment Guidelines* A pa-ent is deemed stable if: No new or recurrent episodes of chest pain in 8 hours Cardiogenic vs. non- cardiogenic No acute signs of decompensated heart failure Dyspnea at rest Hypotension Bilateral crackles greater than half of 1 lung No significant ECG changes in past 8 hours If atrial fibrilla-on: ventricular rate <110bpm Able to speak comfortably with RR <30 breaths/min *Guidelines from AACVPR

21 Standard Phase I Progression for Surgical Pa-ent Day 1-2 (MET level 1-2) Cardiac ICU OOB to chair Toile-ng** Airway clearance and deep breathing/cough/incen-ve spirometry Day 2-3 (MET level 2-3) Cardiac Step- Down Unit SiHng ac-ve UE/LE exercises** transplant Ambula-ng in room Day 4-5 (MET level 3-4) OOB as tolerated Walking 5 mins in hall BID/TID Shower with seat** Standing ac-ve UE/LE exercises Ini-ate stair climbing

22 Eligible Diagnoses per CMS($$) CABG Heart valve repair or replacement Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA), or sten-ng (BMS, DES) Heart or heart- lung transplant Acute myocardial infarc-on Stable angina pectoris CHF (EF< 35%) and (NYHA) class II to IV symptoms, on op-mal heart failure therapy for at least six weeks. Pa-ents must be prescribed phase II by physician within 12 months of event

23 Addi-onal Eligible Diagnoses Great vessel surgery (i.e. Aorta) MAZE arrhythmia procedure VAD implant Sustained VTACH or fibrilla-on Survivors of sudden cardiac death. IE: Asystole

24 Transi-on to Phase II Ini-ate phase II 1-6 weeks post discharge TAVR excep-on Require prescrip-on from cardiologist Pa-ent follows exercise and walking program from inpa-ent d/c to phase II

25 Barriers to apending Phase II Not all pa-ents apend phase II rehab Con-nue with exercise and walking program *Financial* Referral Timing of Referral* Geographic Transporta-on

30 Phase II Cardiac Rehabilita-on Comprehensive, long term program including: Medical evalua-on Electrocardiographically monitored, prescribed exercise Educa-on Counseling Cardiac risk factor modifica-on Diet Smoking, ETOH

31 Goals of Phase II Cardiac Rehab Op-mize cardiovascular performance in pa-ents with heart disease Reduce risk of future cardiac event through individualized pa-ent educa-on Restore pa-ents confidence in their physical capabili-es post cardiac events

32 Required Personnel Direct physician supervision Physician on- premises, does not have to be in gym Staff who are trained in basic and advanced life support techniques and in exercise therapy for coronary artery disease Usually RN and licensed exercise physiologist or physical therapist Physical therapist care provision
