Geriatric Rehabilitation in Older Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: a Feasibility Study.
European geriatric medicine(2018)
摘要
Cardiac rehabilitation in older patients after hospitalization because of cardiovascular disease is recommended. However, many older patients do not receive cardiac rehabilitation in daily practice, due to lack of referral and poor adherence. This can be related to impaired clinical and functional status of these patients, who are more likely to present with frailty, frequent comorbidities, and disability. Geriatric rehabilitation might be a possible solution to reduce barriers to cardiac rehabilitation attendance. We developed and implemented an inpatient geriatric rehabilitation programme that was provided immediately after discharge from the hospital, for older patients with a significant functional decline during hospital admission because of cardiovascular disease: ‘the GR-cardio programme’. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate feasibility of the GR-cardio programme.
