ABSTRACT
Introducción: La rehabilitación cardiaca en pacientes con prótesis valvular es esencial para aumentar su sobrevida e incorporarlos óptimamente a la sociedad. Objetivo: Caracterizar a pacientes con prótesis valvular mecánica y rehabilitación cardiovascular. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de serie de casos, de 70 pacientes con prótesis valvular mecánica, admitidos en el programa de rehabilitación cardiovascular del Hospital General Universitario Vladimir Ilich Lenin de la provincia de Holguín, desde marzo del 2019 hasta noviembre del 2022. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes de 55 a 64 años de edad (38,6 %), con prótesis en posición mitral, sin complicaciones. En los sujetos rehabilitados se observó una reducción de la media de hipercolesterolemia (de 250 a 175 mg/dL) y un aumento de la capacidad funcional por la duración del ejercicio, así como de las unidades metabólicas consumidas. La media de la función ventricular izquierda tras la terapia rehabilitadora se incrementó de 52,4 a 58,2 %. Solo 2 afectados necesitaron rehospitalización e incorporar más fármacos a su tratamiento basal y 50 retornaron a sus actividades laborales. El resultado fue satisfactorio en 97,1 % de los integrantes de la serie. Conclusiones: Esta terapia resultó beneficiosa, pues se incrementó la capacidad funcional de los pacientes y fueron pocas las complicaciones. Los factores de riesgo coronarios estuvieron controlados, se redujo la rehospitalización y aumentó la reincorporación laboral.
Introduction: Heart rehabilitation in patients with valvular prosthesis is essential to increase their survival and incorporate them optimally to the society. Objective: To characterize patients with mechanical valvular prosthesis and cardiovascular rehabilitation. Methods: An observational, descriptive, serial cases study of 70 patients with mechanical valvular prosthesis was carried out, who were admitted to the program of cardiovascular rehabilitation of Vladimir Ilich Lenin University General Hospital in Holguín province, from March, 2019 to November, 2022. Results: There was a prevalence of 55 to 64 years patients (38.6%), with prosthesis in mitral position, without complications. In the rehabilitated patients a reduction of the mean in hypercholesterolemia was observed (from 250 to 175 mg/dL) and an increase of the functional capacity due to the duration of exercise, as well as of the consumed metabolic units. There was an increase from 52.4 to 58.2% in the mean of the left ventricular function after the rehabilitative therapy. Only 2 affected patients needed rehospitalization and to incorporate more medication to their basal treatment and 50 returned to their working activities. The result was satisfactory in 97.1% of the series members. Conclusions: This therapy was beneficial, because there was an increase of the functional capacity of patients and complications were not very common. The coronary risk factors were controlled; there was a reduction of rehospitalization and an increase of working reincorporation.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: La actividad física regular puede contribuir a prevenir las enfermedades al mínimo costo posible, especialmente si se plantea como un hábito de vida saludable y no como una actividad de riesgo que requiere una estricta y costosa supervisión médica especializada. Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia del ejercicio físico sobre factores de riesgo de trastornos coronarios en pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva de 41 pacientes que habían padecido un infarto agudo de miocardio y que formaron parte de un programa de rehabilitación cardiovascular en el Servicio de Terapia Física y Rehabilitación del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso en Santiago de Cuba, desde mayo de 2017 hasta igual mes de 2019. Para ello se seleccionaron los factores de riesgo de trastornos coronarios más frecuentes en la muestra, los cuales fueron analizados antes y después de aplicado el programa. Resultados: Los factores de riesgo predominaron en los hombres (68,4 %), con una mayor incidencia de la hipertrigliceridemia en ambos sexos (56,1 %). Después de aplicada la rehabilitación, se logró una disminución de las cifras de glucemia, triglicéridos y colesterol sérico. Conclusiones: Los programas de rehabilitación cardiovascular mejoran la salud del paciente e igualmente proporcionan beneficios socioeconómicos a la sociedad.
Introduction: Regular physical activity can contribute to prevent diseases at the minimum cost possible, especially if it is a healthy life habit and not a risky activity that requires a strict and expensive specialized medical supervision. Objective: To evaluate the influence of the physical exercise on risk factors of coronary disorders in patients with ischemic heart disease. Methods: A descriptive investigation of 41 patients that had suffered from a heart attack and were part of a program of cardiovascular rehabilitation was carried out in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from May, 2017 to the same month in 2019. With this purpose the most frequent risk factors of coronary disorders were selected in the sample, which were analyzed before and after the implementation of the program. Results: Risk factors prevailed in men (68.4 %), with a higher incidence of hypertriglyceridemia in both sexes (56.1 %). After the rehabilitation, a decrease of glycemia, triglycerides and serum cholesterol figures was achieved. Conclusions: The programs of cardiovascular rehabilitation improve the health of the patients and provide as well socioeconomic benefits to the society.

Objective To investigate the effect of seven-step exercise regurgitation in stage I exercises on the risk of fall in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Methods At the time of admission, 119 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly divided into control group (n=58) and intervention group (n=61). All patients were given routine nursing within 7 days after operation. The patients in the intervention group were given the first three-step exercises based on the seven-step exercise regurgitation in stage I exercise apart from routine nursing within 7 days after operation. The risk of fallings was assessed on the 7th day after operation for the two groups. Result Compared with the control group, the risk of fallings on day five after operation in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The seven-step exercise of stage I cardiac rehabilitation can effectively reduce the risk of falling in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI.
