Cardiovascular rehabilitation represents a very important measure in post myocardial infarction patients for both, improving their quality of life and preventing other acute cardiovascular events. It is important to accurately assess functional capacity of patients after acute coronary events, in order to optimize the results of cardiac rehabilitation program. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) represents the gold standard in functional capacity assessment. We present 3 clinical cases of post STEMI patients, with coronary revascularization interventions, addressed to cardiovascular rehabilitation. They underwent CPET evaluation at baseline and during rehabilitation program. This method proved important utility for individualization of cardiovascular rehabilitation program, as well as for monitoring the long term evolution after myocardial infarction.

Background:Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is widely used to assess functional capacity in patients with tetralogy of Fallot after surgical repair. Little is known regarding the impact of age at the time of primary complete repair and surgical era effect on exercise capacity.Methods:A retrospective, single-center chart review was done from 1976 to 2016 on pediatric patients with tetralogy of Fallot who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with cycle ergometry utilizing the James protocol and were then sorted by repair before/after 1990 and by age of complete repair before/after one year. Exclusion criteria included submaximal tests, incomplete data, previous pulmonary valve replacement, and surgery prior to complete repair (ie, Blalock-Taussig shunt placement).Results:When comparing the groups who underwent primary complete repair before (N = 39) and after (N = 26) one year of age, the younger group demonstrated a higher percentage of predicted peak oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text] o2peak; 83.1% ± 11.8% vs 73.1% ± 16.1%; P = .005) despite having worse pulmonary insufficiency at the time of exercise testing. There were no differences in heart rate and blood pressure response. Age of repair was independently associated with [Formula: see text] o2peak. Data were statistically similar to the study eras (repair before 1990, N = 23; repair after 1990, N = 65): percentage of predicted [Formula: see text] o2peak (81.4% ± 13.6% vs 79.1% ± 14.4%, P = .5), maximal systolic blood pressure (155.1 ± 22.4 mm Hg vs 153.9 ± 17 mm Hg, P = .8), and percentage of predicted maximal heart rate (89.8% ± 9% vs 92% ± 7.1%, P = .3).Conclusions:Older age at primary repair appears to negatively impact [Formula: see text] o2peak; however, era effect does not appear to influence cardiopulmonary exercise testing outcomes.
