Abstract
|
|
|
Presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in stroke patients may result in poor prognosis and functional outcome in rehabilitation. However, studies on diagnostic and functional evaluation of such patients are scarce. In this perspective, authors
explored the usefulness of bicycle ergometer in CAD diagnosis of hemiparetic patients and its implication in their rehabilitation. Among 20 hemiparetic pateints, 2 were found to have ST segment depression during bicycle ergometer stress test. The
rate
pressure products (RPP) measured during various rehabilitation activities did not exceed those obcained during the stress thst in most subjects, disputing against common reluctance in active rehabilitation treatment of hemiparetic patients with
CAD.
In conclusion stress test with hicycle ergometer can be effectively used in selective group of hemiparetic patients with coronary artery disease for both diagnostic and functional purposes.
