Procedure
- assess current level of fitness
- history
- physical examination
- exercise testing
- 2 or more risk factors for coronary artery disease
- diabetes mellitus in good control is not a risk factor[4]
- hypertension in good control is not a risk factor[4]
- symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease
- > 45 years & planning vigorous exercise
- for asymptomatic adults at low risk of cardiovascular events, USPSTF recommends against screening with resting ECG or exercise stress test[4][5]
- insufficient evidence to assess balance of benefits & harms of screening with resting or exercise ECG to prevent cardiovascular events in asymptomatic adults at intermediate or high risk of cardiovascular events (USPSTF)[5]
- 2 or more risk factors for coronary artery disease
- assess motivation
- assess barriers
- medical
- health conditions
- medications
- physical disabilities
- social or work-related
- psychologic
- medical
- exercise program
- frequency 3-5 days/week
- intensity 50-85% of maximum predicted heart rate
- duration 15-60 minutes
- moderate intensity aerobic exercise at least 30 minutes 5 times/week or vigorous exercise at least 20 minutes 3 time/week[4]
- stretching exercises
- before & after exercise
- hamstrings, quadriceps, low back & calf muscles
- specific conditions
- low back pain
- type 2 diabetes
- structured program of aerobic exercise &/or resistance training
- COPD
- consider risk of falls in the elderly[4]
Notes
- USPSTF concludes evidence insufficient to recommend for or against exercise prescribing
- exercise referral schemes increase physical activity & lower incidence of depression, but do not affect BMI, blood pressure, or lipid levels in sedentary primary care patients[2]
