In the past decade a significant development in the management and rehabilitation of people with chronic heart failure (CHF) has been the utilization of cardiac devices. The use of biventricular pacemakers, referred to as Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can yield improvements in functional abilities for a select group of CHF patients and the inclusion of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) may reduce the risk of sudden death. This review provides physical therapists with a basic understanding of how to prescribe exercise for people with CHF who have these device implants.
在过去十年中，慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者的管理和康复方面的一项重大进展是心脏设备的应用。双心室起搏器的使用，即心脏再同步治疗（CRT），可以使特定组别的CHF患者的功能能力得到改善，而植入式心脏除颤器（ICD）的使用可能会降低猝死风险。本综述为物理治疗师提供了关于如何为植入这些设备的CHF患者开具运动处方的基本理解。
