The Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program Using Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Concomitant Ischemic Heart Disease

Purpose : Comorbidities associated with systemic inflammation including ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and diabetes mellitus are common among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Comorbidities in patients with COPD require careful assessment because they can cause dyspnea and functional impairment and increase the risk during respiratory rehabilitation. Methods : This study analyzed the effect of implementing a respiratory rehabilitation program using predicted maximal oxygen uptake on lung function, physical performance, and quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD concomitant IHD who have difficulty achieving maximal oxygen uptake and pulmonary vital capacity when set as the intensity of their respiratory rehabilitation program. Results : The respiratory rehabilitation program using predictive maximal oxygen uptake showed significant differences in physical function and quality of life. Conclusion : The predicted maximal oxygen uptake can be safely used in patients with COPD concomitant IHD.
