Abstract
Background:The physical exercise consists of trainable physical abilities such as strength and endurance. It can be inferred that the individual cardiac patient is dependent on it as an associated therapy to the drug treatment for a rapid and lasting improvement of their overall clinical status
Case presentation:The patient–with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Postpartum period–was subjected to 21 sessions of cardiac rehabilitation. A physical evaluation was performed, before and after the treatment period, for data collection: anthropometric values, flexibility, aerobic capacity and strength of grip.
Conclusion:The patient had a positive response in aerobic capacity, flexibility and grip strength and the anthropometric values were kept in short term rehabilitation.
Keywords:Cardiac rehabilitation, Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, Aerobic exercises
