The Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Delorme Technique of Progressive Resisted Exercises to Improve Dyspnea and Quality of Life in Patients of Post PCI.
To find the effect of cardiac rehabilitation program with and without progressive resisted exercises on patients after acute stage of PCI with at least 8 weeks history. It is a randomized clinical trial using convenient sampling technique. Randomly assign participants into two groups: An intervention group receiving Delorme progressive resisted exercise along with cardiac rehab and a control group undergoing standard cardiac rehabilitation alone. In Group A, Delorme technique will involve a 10-repetition max of aerobic and resistance exercises along with cardiac rehab. Seven different exercises will be performed in 3 sets of 10-repetition max. The control group will not be performing any type of training but will undergo cardiac rehab alone. Data will be analyzed using t test and SPSS 21 will be used for data collection. Age group will be from ≥70 years with patient undergoing dyspnea along with recent history of primary diseases. Data will be collected from Bethania Hospital, Sialkot through tools like the 6-minute walk test, Rose Angina questionnaire or settle angina questionnaire, quality of life scale (QOLFS), and Modified Borg dyspnea scale.
• Age: ≥ 70 years
• Recent history of PCI due to primary diseases (coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, acute angina)
• Presence of dyspnea
• First-time PCI
