Functional capacity assessment
Review history
Risk factors:
- Age, Smoking
- High blood cholesterol (Dyslipidemia,
Hyperglycemia)
- High Blood pressure
- Diabetes Millitus
- obesity and overweight
- Life style Activity
- Past Medical History: History of MI or
angina, dysarrythmias, artificial pacemaker.
Physical examination
•
•
•
•
1) General examination:
- Cyanosis
- Pale face
- Dyspnea during conversation or with
minimal activity
• - Nutritional status: Malnutrition, obesity,
overweight
• - Skeletal deformities
• - Tremor
Physical Examination
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2) Vitals:
- Heart rate
- Blood Pressure
- Pulse strength ( carotid A, radial A,)
- Breathing Rate ( tachypnea, Bradypnea)
- Breathing Pattern (shallow, Normal)
3) Palpation
- Edema ( generalized or local) ( pitting or non
pitting)
Physical Examination
•

•
•

4) Auscultation:
Normal sound of the heart: S1 and S2
‘ Lubb = S1: sound of closure of AV valves
‘ Dubb = S2 sound of closure of semilunar Valves

Q
• - Presence of mumurs ( abnormal sound of
closure of valves)
• - Breathing Sound ( different lubes) wheezing or
cripitions may indicate pulmonary Edema
Diagnostic Tests

Types of Diagnostic Tests for cardiac disease:
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Echocardiogram
Chest X- ray
Angiography
Diagnostic tests
• Echocardiogram:
• a sonogram of the heart. uses standard twodimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler
ultrasound to create images of the heart.
• What we care about in Echo:
• Early filling and atrial filling E/F ratio
• Report of the Echo
• Ejection fraction percentage.
Diagnostic Test
• Chest X-ray: is a projection radiograph of the
chest used to diagnose conditions affecting
the chest, its contents, and nearby structures.
•
•
•
•
What do we care about chest X-ray:
Lubes of the lung
Any presence of pleural effusion
Any hypertrophy or change in size of heart
Diagnostic Test
• Angiography: is a medical imaging technique
used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood
vessels and organs of the body, with particular
interest in the arteries, veins and the heart
chambers

Diagnostic Tests
• Electrocardiograph: A device used to detect
electrical activity of the heart over a period of
time.
• The ECG allows observation of the heart electrical
activity by visualizing waveform beat origin from
SA node down to purkinje fibres.
• Types of ECG:
• 12 leads ECG
• 5 Leads ECG
• 3 Leads ECG
Diagnostic Tests
• Electrocardiograph

Components of ECG:
P wave: represent atrial excitation
P R interval: represent AV node delay
QRS complex: marks ventricular Excitation
ST segment: shift in depression represent
ischemic heart disease
• T wave: marks repolarization.

Functional capacity assessment
• It is a fundamental requirement for ADL
• Definition: Is the ability to perform aerobic,
oxygen work exercise .
• Such activities require high efforts from heart,
lung.
• Thus, assessment utilizes mostly oxygen
consumption VO2
• Functional capacity is identified by METs
METs
• Metabolic Equivalents:
• is defined as the ratio of a person's working
metabolic rate relative to the resting
metabolic rate.
• One MET represents the oxygen consumption
of a resting adult (3.5 ml/kg/min)
• Functional capacity is defined as :poor (<4
METS),moderate (4–7METS), good (>7–
10METS)
Functional capacity assessment
Through :
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (stress test)
Incremental Shuttle Walking Test.
