Abstract

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are known to be one of the effective managements which aim to improve the quality of life (QoL) in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is still controversy about the effect on QoL dimension. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of short term cardiac rehabilitation program on quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.Methods: The study design used was a quasi experimental study with repeated measurements in consecutive sampling involving 11 subjects with CAD from September–November 2015 in Cardiorespiratory Clinic and Gymnasium of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Cardiac Unit Services, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. The cardiac rehabilitation program was performed for 4 weeks. The quality of life was scored using medical outcomes study short form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire before and after CR program. Statistics obtained in this study were analyzed using paired t-test and Wilcoxon test.Results: This study involved 11 male patients with CAD with an average age of 58 (11) years old with the diagnosis of CAD post CABG (n=6), CAD post PCI (n=4), and CAD unrevascularized (n=1). The average total score of quality of life questionnaire SF-36 demonstrated a significant increase (p<0.001) after CR program 87.27(8.5) as compared to before CR program 49.09(8.4). This improvement occurred in all QoL dimensions.Conclusions: Short term cardiac rehabilitation program can improve the quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease has very high morbidity and mortality, therefore, prevention of this disease becomes a national priority in the health programs. Health cadres, as an agent in community primary prevention, should have a good health condition. This study aimed to describe the cardiovascular risk profile in health cadresin Jatinangor, West Java.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted in Cilayung Village, Jatinangor, in September 2018. Consecutive sampling was performed on 20 health cadres aged 25 - 64 years old who did not have previous cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease or stroke. Clinical data were collected consisting of blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), random blood glucose, history of diabetes mellitus, physical activity and active smoking habits. Cardiovascular risk was assessed using Jakarta cardiovascular scores and European Relative Risk Score.Results: Only 17 of 20 health cadres fulfilled the inclusion criteria with a systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 133.5±27.8 mmHg and 81.1±14.8 mmHg, respectively, and BMI of 27.4±5.3 kg/m2.The risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy cadres was at low (47.1%), moderate (41.2%) and high risk (11.7%). The average of the European Relative Risk score was 1.88±0.9. BMI >30 has a 40% high risk of cardiovascular disease.Conclusions: Most of the health cadres in Jatinangor, West Java have a low and moderate risk of cardiovascular disease, even though there is a small percentage that is at a high risk. The awareness for prevention and management programs for risk factors needs to be raised among health cadres. .
