Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of heart failure is known to increase day by day, as well as the incidence of rehospitalization and death. One way that can be done is to optimize health status and perform cardiac rehabilitation. Aerobic exercise is recommended for patients with heart failure. Aerobic exercise has been shown to increase functional capacity in patient with heart failure. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between aerobic exercise with functional capacity improvement in patient with heart failure in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Method: This study was conducted using prospective cohort method on 35 patients with heart failure in a cardiac rehabilitation program at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Functional capacity and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) data were collected before and after aerobic exercise. Univariate and bivariate data analysis were performed using SPSS. Results: 35 samples were included in this study, with an average age of 54,57±1,28 years and dominated by male. The result showed an increase in distance after aerobic exercise program compared to the initial examination (373,6±133,64 vs 192,57±64,68) with p-value <0,001. There was an increase in functional capacity from 3,55±1,12 MET to 6,6±2,44 MET after aerobic exercise (P<0,001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between aerobic exercise and functional capacity improvement in patients with heart failure at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan.

Abstract

Background: PPM implantation is used to send electrical impulses to the heart muscle to correct heart rhythm disturbances also known as cardiac arrythmia. Assessing the patient's quality of life after a PPM implantation is crucial for predicting the therapy's effectiveness and success. Objectives: This study aims to assess the quality of life of patients following pacemaker implantation by using the SF-36 questionnaire. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted from January 2021 to July 2023 on 60 outpatients with a minimum duration of PPM implantation of 6 months in the cardiology department of H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Patient’s quality of life was assessed based on the SF-36 questionnaire. Subjects then were grouped based on age, gender, PPM duration and location, as well as other echocardiographic parameters that may affect patient’s quality of life after PPM implantation. Results: There were 60 patients included in this study. Majority of patients were male (56.7%) with an average age of 67.98 ± 10.95 years old and most patients had comorbidities (81.7%). The majority of patients (93.3%) had a single-chamber permanent pacemaker implanted, with 68.3% of these devices’ ventricular leads positioned in the non-apical segment of the heart.  After assessing the quality of life, we found there’s a relationship between age, gender, and PPM lead locations with nearly all SF-36 domains (p<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant association between comorbidities and SF-36 scores, including physical function, physical limitations, and emotional limitations (p<0.05). There was a significant association between ejection fraction and SF-36 scores, including physical function, role limitations due to physical health problems, vitality, social function, bodily pain and general health. However, no relationship was found between IMT and PPM implantation duration with SF-36 scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: We identified a relationship between age, gender, comorbidities, PPM lead location, and ventricular ejection fraction with the quality of life of patients following PPM implantation
