Overview

To find the effect of cardiac rehabilitation program with and without progressive resisted exercises on patients after acute stage of PCI with at least 8 weeks history. It is a randomized clinical trial using convenient sampling technique. Randomly assign participants into two groups: An intervention group receiving Delorme progressive resisted exercise along with cardiac rehab and a control group undergoing standard cardiac rehabilitation alone. In Group A, Delorme technique will involve a 10-repetition max of aerobic and resistance exercises along with cardiac rehab. Seven different exercises will be performed in 3 sets of 10-repetition max. The control group will not be performing any type of training but will undergo cardiac rehab alone. Data will be analyzed using t test and SPSS 21 will be used for data collection. Age group will be from ≥70 years with patient undergoing dyspnea along with recent history of primary diseases. Data will be collected from Bethania Hospital, Sialkot through tools like the 6-minute walk test, Rose Angina questionnaire or settle angina questionnaire, quality of life scale (QOLFS), and Modified Borg dyspnea scale.
