Prehabilitation in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Procedures

CSCarolin SteinmetzPTPhuc Thien TranSHStephanie Heinemann

Key Result

Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures may enhance preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery, particularly in women.

Key Points

  • To investigate whether prehabilitation improves functional capacity and recovery in patients undergoing cardiac procedures, with a focus on women.
  • Analyzed prehabilitation interventions prior to cardiac procedures.
  • Evaluated functional capacity pre- and post-procedure.
  • Considered recovery outcomes across multiple centers.
  • Prehabilitation enhanced preprocedural functional capacity.
  • Improved postprocedural recovery was particularly noted in women.
  • Findings suggest a need for further multicenter studies.

Structured PICO

Does prehabilitation improve preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery in patients undergoing cardiac procedures?

P
Population
Patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly women
I
Intervention
Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures
O
Outcome
Preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery

Prehabilitation may improve functional capacity and recovery for patients undergoing cardiac procedures, though further multicenter evidence is required.

Limitations

  • Further multicenter studies are needed

Abstract

Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures may enhance preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery, particularly in women. Further multicenter studies are needed.
