ABSTRACT:
Objective: Our work aims to propose a simplified approach by the cardiovascular
rehabilitation for the cardiac heart failure. Method and Patients: We realized an
observational prospective study during 12-month period which included 85 cardiac
heart failure patients at Abidjan Cardiology Institute. Results: 85 patients were
included in our study; the average age was 45 ± 20 years. The ratio-sex (men/woman)
was to 2. Six patients abandoned the study due to financial issues so that we continued
the study with 79 patients. According to the stage of cardiac failure by New York
Heart Association (NYHA): after the cardiac rehabilitation, the values of P (P =
0.000) confirmed that the rehabilitation improved considerably the potency tolerance.
60 patients (75%) were at the NYHA II, III stages. According to potency test results,
rehabilitation improved significantly the patients potency in watt of the (P = 0.000).
According to left ventricle ejection fraction: rehabilitation improved patients
cardiac output. Variability rate was 50% for the cardiac output between 20% - 30% and 30% - 40%. Conclusion: In addition
to drug therapy, cardiovascular rehabilitation is now recognized in the management
of heart failure. Improvements of signs and patients’ life quality remain the major
benefits of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation and the reduction of hospitalizations
and mortality.
