Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

The Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Department serves patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure, post-valvular heart surgery, stable pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, post-lung surgery, and post-COVID-19 respiratory dysfunction. The core content involves implementing exercise training, respiratory training, airway clearance, nutritional and psychological interventions, medication management, and risk factor management under risk assessment and monitoring. For stable cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, standardized rehabilitation can improve exercise tolerance, symptoms, and quality of life, and help reduce the risk of readmission; however, the specific intensity needs to be stratified based on the results of cardiopulmonary exercise testing or the six-minute walk test. Before treatment, contraindications or conditions requiring postponement must be ruled out, such as unstable angina, decompensated heart failure, severe arrhythmias, active myocarditis, uncontrolled hypertension, acute pulmonary embolism, and severe hypoxemia. For patients with diabetes, anemia, osteoporosis, or anxiety and depression, comprehensive management should be optimized concurrently.
