Interesting DefinitionsInteresting Definitions Exercise
– Physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful, usually aimed at a improving or maintaining physical fitness.
Physical activities– Any body movement produced by skeletal mu
scles that results in energy expenditure beyond resting expenditure.

2nd Killer – 5,390 deaths in 2003’ (14.8/day)
Public resources demanding– More than 60,000 hospital admissions per
year– Only for ischemic heart diseases
• 17,523 (48/day) admissions & 1,780 deaths per year

A coronary artery disease community survey in HK 95-96’– Prevalences 2.4% – 164,523 in 6,855,125 HK population1
A projection from US data– Prevalences 6.80%2 – Estimated 466,148 in 6,855,125 HK population– we are seeing the “tip of iceberg” only

The Benefits of ExerciseThe Benefits of ExercisePrimary PreventionPrimary Prevention
• Brisk walking, 30mins/day, 5 times/week– 30% ↓vascular events in 3.5 years follow-up1
• 3 hours of brisk walking/week = 1.5 hours of vigorous exercise per week2
• Resistance exercise and weight training were also beneficial3

• “ No pain, no gain” approach is out!1
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine 1995’
– Every person should accumulate at least 30minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity daily

Physical activity with 1000kcal/wk – 20-30% ↓ all cause mortality1
For patients without revascularization– Exercise training improves SBP, angina symptoms and exercis
e tolerance2
For patients with revascularization– Improvement in QoL, exercise tolerance– ↓29% cardiac events – ↓re-admissions (18.6 vs 46%)3

Safety of Exercise Safety of Exercise
Exercise without medical advice:– Sudden Cardiac Arrest: 1 per 60,000 pt. hours1
Supervised Programs:– Cardiac events: 8.9 per 1,000,000 pt. hours– Myocardial Infarction: 3.4 per 1,000,000 pt. hours– Mortality: 1.3 per 1,000,000 pt. hours2

Principles of ExercisePrinciples of Exercise
Avoid:• Unstable angina• SBP ≥ 180mmHg or DBP ≥ 100mmHg• Symptomatic orthostatic BP drop > 20mmHg• Critical aortic stenosis• Acute systemic illness or fever• Uncontrolled arrhythmia• Uncompensated CHF• 3rd degree AV Block (complete heart block)• Acute pericarditis & myocarditis• Recent embolism• Thrombophlebitis• Resting ST displacement ≥ 2mm• Uncontrolled DM• Electrolyte disturbance• hypovolemia
Principles of Exercise PrescriptionPrinciples of Exercise Prescription
2. Treadmill exercise stress test initial assessment
• Cardiovascular status assessment• Exercise induced arrhythmia• Execise induced ischemia• Trend of Blood pressure during exercise• Trend of SaO2 during exercise
Principles of Exercise PrescriptionPrinciples of Exercise Prescription
2. Treadmill exercise stress test initial assessment• Functional capacity assessment- Activity of daily living:
- Lying quietly 1.0METS- Sitting: light activity 1.5METS- Walking from house to car/bus 2.5METS- Watering plants 2.5METS- Taking out trash 3.0METS- Walking the dog 3.0METS- Household tasks, moderate effort 3.5METS- Vacuuming 3.5METS
Principles of Exercise PrescriptionPrinciples of Exercise Prescription
2. Treadmill exercise stress test initial assessment• Functional capacity assessment
– Leisure activities• Playing piano 2.3METS• Golf (with cart) 2.5METS• Walking (2mph) 2.5METS• Ballroom Dancing 2.9METS• Walking (3mph) 3.3METS• Cycling (Leisurely) 3.5METS• Golf (without cart) 4.4METS• Swimming (slow) 4.5METS• Walking (4mph) 4.5METS• Tennis (doubles) 5.0METS• Ballroom Dancing (fast) 5.5METS• Cycling (mod) 5.7METS• Hiking (no load) 6.9METS• Swimming 7.0METS• Walking (5mph) 8.0METS• Jogging (10min/mile) 10.2METS• Rope skipping 12.0METS• Squash 12.1METS
Principles of ExercisePrinciples of Exercise
Regular treadmill exercise stress test reassessment
– Ascess the impact of medical and exercise management
– Provide feedback to patient– Plan of future management
Tips on DM patientsTips on DM patients
Pre- exercise treadmill Stress test was indicated:1. Age > 402. Age > 30 with
– DM > 10 yrs– HT– Smoking– Hyperlipidemia– Retinopathy– Nephropathy (microalbuminuria)
3. Coronary Artery Disease4. CVA5. Peripheral vascular disease6. Autonomic neuropathy7. Renal Failure
Tips on DM patientsTips on DM patients
• Postpone exercise if – Hstix > 16.5mmol/L– Hstix >13mmol/L with ketones in urine
• Monitor Hstix before, (during) and after exercise
• Ideal pre-exercise 6.7 – 10mmol/L
• Ingest Carbohydrate : Hstix 4.4-5.5mmol/L2
Tips on DM patientsTips on DM patients
• prevent injury – peripheral neuropathy– Lower extremity care – Swimming/cycling/rowing better than
walking/jogging
• Autonomic neuropathy– Blunted BP/P response– Postural hypotension– Heat stroke
Tips on DM patientsTips on DM patients
• Silent myocardial ischemia• Proliferative retinopathy
– Consult opthalmologist– Low-impact exercise
• Adequate hydration• DM identification card3,4
