1 Reinventing Cardiac Rehabilitation Outside of acute care institutions, cardiovascular disease is a chronic, inflammatory process; the reduction or elimination of recurrent acute coronary syndromes is a major goal of cardiac rehabilitation programs. The success of disease intervention is derived not only from what interventions or therapies are prescribed, but equally from how they are applied. James A. Stone, MD, PhD, FRCPC, FAACVPR, FACC The Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation has defined cardiac rehabilitation as, The enhancement and maintenance of cardiovascular health through individualized programs designed to optimize physical, psychological, social, vocational and emotional status. This process includes the facilitation and delivery of secondary prevention through risk factor identification and modification in an effort to prevent disease progression and recurrence of cardiac events. 1 Contemporary cardiac rehabilitation is best thought of as a systemic process of chronic disease care. 2,3 It is a patient-centered care environment in which proactive disease surveillance, rather than reactive, symptom-driven disease care, is the principle mode of service delivery. Within this care setting, cardiac patients are treated to scientifically validated treatment targets, in accordance with national guidelines. In years gone by, cardiac rehabilitation programs were primarily exercise-based, with minimal if any target-driven cardiovascular risk factor or psychosocial interventions. Some physicians came to regard cardiac rehabilitation programs as little more than touchy-feely programs that did nothing to change cardiac outcomes. However, clinical trials and large metaanalyses have consistently demonstrated the positive effects of cardiac rehabilitation programs on both total and cardiac mortality. 4-6 Table 1 Clinical outcomes in cardiac rehabilitations from a meta-analysis 4 Outcome Odds ratio Total mortality* 0.80 (0.61 to 0.93) Cardiac mortality* 0.74 (0.61 to 0.96) Post-myocardial infarction 0.79 (0.50 to 1.09) Post-CABS 0.87 (0.65 to 1.06) Post-PCI 0.81 (0.49 to 1.34) Total cholesterol* mmol/l (-0.63 to -0.11) Triglycerides* mmol/l (-0.39 to -0.07) LDL (-0.53 to -0.12) HDL (-0.53 to -0.12) Systolic blood pressure* -3.2 mmhg (-5.4 to -0.9) Diastolic blood pressure -1.2 mmhg (-2.7 to -0.3) Smoking cessation* 0.64 (0.5 to 0.83) *Significant p < 0.05 CABS: Coronary artery bypass surgery PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention LDL: Low-density lipoprotein HDL: High-density lipoprotein Perspectives in Cardiology / November/December
2 Table 2 Post-acute coronary syndrome interventions Parameter Physical activity and exercise Weight control Alcohol consumption Tobacco usage Diet and dietary supplements Stress management Psychosocial health Goals Accumulate 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity exercise on most preferably all days of the week. Daily caloric balance with the goal of maintaining a BMI of 18.5 kg/m 2 to 24.9 kg/m 2 and a waist circumference of less than 102 cm (40 ) in men and less than 88 cm (36 ) in women. Abstinence or a maximum intake of: Males: 14 standard drinks per week Females: Nine standard drinks per week None or immediate cessation of all forms of tobacco intake. Avoidance of second-hand tobacco smoke. As per Canada s Food Guide to Healthy Eating (Chapter 4), DASH diet ( Omega 3 fatty acid supplements should be considered in high-risk groups. Avoidance or control of depression, anger states, hostility, confrontation, psychosocial and vocational stress. Cardiovascular disease patients and high-risk clients should be evaluated for depression. BMI: Body mass index DASH: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension The science of cardiac rehabilitation Through the use of interventions, such as exercise and risk factor reduction, cardiac rehabilitation programs and services can result in reduced vascular oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby reducing: cardiac mortality, the likelihood of recurrent hospitalizations and the need for repeat revascularization procedures. 3 The most recent meta-analysis of cardiac rehabilitation confirmed the results of clinical trials and four previous meta-analyses regarding the significant reductions in total and cardiac mortality, along with cardiovascular risk factors, realized through participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs (Table 1). In addition, the results of this meta-analysis could find 36 Perspectives in Cardiology / November/December 2005
3 no evidence that the increased use of secondary prevention strategies in more recent trials of cardiac rehabilitation (those published after 1995), such as anti-platelet agents, beta-blockers, statins and angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, has diminished or nullified the beneficial effects of exercise training in patients with cardiac disease. This observation suggests that the addition of exercise therapy to the multitude of standard pharmacologic interventions currently recommended and prescribed postacute coronary syndromes can still produce additional patient benefits (Table 2). Risk stratification Current Canadian guidelines recommend that all patients admitted to cardiac rehabilitation programs undergo a systematic admission process, including: a full medical history, a physical examination, a resting electrocardiogram and appropriate laboratory investigations. 3 Table 3 Core elements of cardiac rehabilitation programs 6 Patient referral process Patient assessment - Risk stratification - Exercise stress testing - Risk factor assessment Lifestyle and risk factor modification Nutritional counselling Risk factor assessment - Lipids - Hypertension - Smoking cessation - Diabetes - Psychosocial issues - Weight management, particularly abdominal obesity - Psychosocial management - Physical activity counselling and exercise training Patient education programs - Lifestyle adherence strategies - Medication adherence strategies Outcomes assessment programs - Health outcomes - Educational outcomes - Behavioural outcomes - Service outcomes Continuous quality improvement programs Continuous professional development programs Patients should also undergo formal risk stratification (Figure 1; only the female table is presented). The risk evaluation strategy combines a Framingham risk model 7 validated for cardiac patients in combination with a Duke treadmill score. 8 These two scores are then combined into a recurrent cardiac event risk score to provide an overall estimate of the patient s subsequent cardiac risk. In addition to prognostic information, the recurrent cardiac event risk score also allows for patients to be more cost-effectively assigned to either program supervised, facility-independent exercise, i.e., home exercise (low and some intermediate risk patients) or program supervised, facilitydependent exercise (high-risk patients).

5 Program formats Unfortunately, only a minority of patients are referred for cardiac rehabilitation following hospitalization for acute coronary syndromes. 3 Programs with the best referral and patient attendance rates utilize practitioner independent referral processes, such as automatic referral. Following their initial assessment, medical consultation and risk stratification, patients are given their individualized exercise prescriptions and risk factor treatment programs and enrolled in exercise classes. Even if they are going to participate in program supervised, facility-independent exercise, most programs have patients attend a few exercise classes to ensure appropriate exercise knowledge. Programs are usually three to six months in Take-home message Cardiac rehabilitation programs reduce total and cardiac mortality compared to usual care. Cardiac rehabilitation programs provide an environment of proactive disease surveillance in order to minimize or eliminate recurrent cardiac events. Cardiac rehabilitation can assist busy primarycare and other physicians in the management of their cardiac patients by ensuring adherence to national guidelines in the treatment of cardiovascular risk factors. Most patients with established cardiac disease should be referred for cardiac rehabilitation either by their specialist, primary-care physician or nurse practitioner.
6 duration, with patients attending exercise classes one to three times per week. Contemporary programs provide an extensive array of patient-care services (Table 3) and will both manage and advise referring physicians regarding their patient s status. PCard References 1.
