The Impact

Background: In elderly chronic heart failure (HF) patients, activities of daily living (ADLs) require the use of a high proportion of patients’ peak aerobic capacity, heart rate, and ventilation.Objectives: To assess the effects of short-term comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on the metabolic requirement of ADLs in elderly patients with chronic HF.Methods: The study population comprised 99 elderly chronic HF patients (mean age 72 ± 5 years, 80% male, 61% ejection fraction <40%, mean NT-proBNP 2,559 ± 4,511 pg/ml) participating in a short-term (mean days 19 ± 7) residential CR program. Before and after CR, participants, while wearing a portable ergospirometer, performed a standardized ADL battery: ADL1 (getting dressed), ADL2 (folding 8 towels), ADL3 (putting away 6 bottles), ADL4 (making a bed), ADL5 (sweeping the floor for 4 min), ADL6 (climbing 1 flight of stairs carrying a 1.5 Kg load), and ADL7 (a standard 6-min walking test).Results: After CR, task-related oxygen uptake did not change in any of the domestic ADLs. Notably, there was a significant decrease in the cumulative time required to perform ADLs (ADL 1–4 and ADL6; from 412 ± 147 to 388 ± 141 s, p = 0.001) and a reduction in maximal heart rate in ADL1 and 3 (p = 0.005 and p = 0.027, respectively). Changes occurred in the 6MWT with an increase in oxygen uptake (p = 0.005) and in the distance covered (p < 0.001) and a significant decrease in the Borg scale of dyspnea (p = 0.004).Conclusion: Elderly patients with chronic heart failure who are engaged in a short-term residential CR program improve the performance of routine ADLs.

The Impact

A 5-day patient education program, taught on an outpatient basis, was evaluated to determine its effect on metabolic control as reflected by glycosylated hemoglobin test values. A quasi- experimental design was used, consisting of a pretest, a posttest, and a follow-up assessment made approximately 6 months after the posttest. The 72 experimental and 324 comparison subjects all had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), were between 14 and 78 years of age, and had a duration of diabetes ranging from 1 to 20 years. The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in Hb A1 values from pre- to posttest and sustained these posttest levels upon follow-up, although not at statistically significant levels. The comparison group showed no pre- to posttest difference, but demon strated an improvement from posttest to follow-up assessment.
