Obiettivi

Il corso si propone di fornire gli strumenti e conoscenze per una corretta gestione del paziente cardiopatico. Lo scopo è di mettere a disposizione dei partecipanti non solo nozioni e concetti teorici al passo con le evidenze scientifiche e le linee guida attuali, ma anche strumenti pratici utilizzabili, fin da subito, nel proprio lavoro quotidiano. Alla fine del corso lo studente dovrà essere in grado di:

• Conoscere e saper utilizzare le scale di valutazione funzionale più adatte come strumenti di stratificazione e misure di outcome

• Conoscere le caratteristiche dell’allenamento aerobico, alla forza e le scale di percezione soggettive dello sforzo

• Saper monitorare efficientemente il paziente cardiopatico, riconoscere e saper intervenire in caso di segni e sintomi avversi

• Impostare e somministrare un training fisico a diversi gradi di intensità secondo target definiti dalle linee guida e dalle esigenze funzionali

• Saper identificare e trattare almeno teoricamente pazienti cardiopatici anziani, fragili e cronici

Contenuti sintetici

L’esercizio terapeutico strutturato (training fisico) è un core component della Riabilitazione Cardiologica. Lo stile di vita attivo e l'allenamento aerobico sono infatti strettamente correlati alla riduzione del rischio di eventi coronarici fatali e non in persone sane (prevenzione primaria), in soggetti con fattori di rischio coronarico e nella popolazione di cardiopatici (prevenzione secondaria) di ogni fascia di età. Al contrario uno stile di vita sedentario è uno dei principali fattori di rischio per le malattie cardiovascolari (CVD). Il Fisioterapista che lavorerà con pazienti cardiopatici si troverà ad affrontare sfide sempre diverse non solo grazie a innovazioni farmacologiche e chirurgiche ma anche a causa dell’avanzamento dell’età della popolazione che afferisce alle cardiologie riabilitative. E' perciò' fondamentale che questa figura professionale sia in costante aggiornamento, che sia in grado di confrontarsi con le linee guida esistenti e che approfondisca le sue conoscenze attraverso la ricerca di strumenti più adeguati a una popolazione di cardiopatici sempre più diversificata.

Aims

The course aims to provide the tools and knowledge for a correct management of the cardiac patient. The aim is to make available to participants not only notions and theoretical concepts in step with scientific evidence and current guidelines, but also practical tools that can be used immediately in their daily work. At the end of the course the student must be able to:

• Know and know how to use the most suitable functional evaluation scales as stratification tools and outcome measures

• Know the characteristics of aerobic training, strength and the subjective perception scales of effort

• Knowing how to efficiently monitor the heart patient, recognize and know how to move in case of adverse signs and symptoms

• Set up and administer physical training at different degrees of intensity according to targets defined by the guidelines and functional needs

• Knowing how to identify and at least theoretically treat elderly, frail and chronic cardiac patients

Contents

Structured therapeutic exercise (physical training) is a core component of Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). Active lifestyle and aerobic training are in fact closely related to the reduction of the risk of fatal and non-fatal coronary events in healthy people (primary prevenction), in subjects with coronary risk factors and in the population of cardiac patients (secondary prevenction) of all age groups. Conversely, a sedentary lifestyle is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The physiotherapist who will work with cardiac patients will face ever-changing challenges not only thanks to pharmacological and surgical innovations but also due to the age of the population that refers to CR. It is therefore essential that this professional figure is constantly updated, that she/he is able to compare himself with the existing guidelines and that he deepens his knowledge through the search for more suitable tools for an increasingly diversified population of cardiac patients.
