The cardiovascular conditions

What is Hypertension

Pressure of blood against artery walls is consistently too high, forcing the heart to work harder to pump blood

Symptoms of Hypertension

Severe headaches
Chest pain
Dizziness
Nausea

What is F for hypertension

Aerobic: Most, preferably all, days of the week (≥5 days/week).
Resistance: 2–3 non-consecutive days/week.

What is I for hypertension

Aerobic: Moderate intensity
Resistance: Moderate intensity 60–70% 1RM for beginners

What is Ti for hypertension

Aerobic: 30–60 minutes/day
Resistance: 2–4 sets of 8–12 reps for each major muscle group.

Special Considerations

Avoid Valsalva maneuver .
Monitor BP before, during, after Resting systolic BP>180mmHg or >110mmHg may warrant postponing
Important to cool down

What are Symptoms of CAD

Angina
Discomfort or tingling
Shortness of breath
dizziness
nausea

What are Symptoms of PAD

Intermittent claudication
Diminished walking tolerance
Rest pain
Numbness

What is coronary heart disease

coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked, due to a build-up of fatty deposits called atherosclerotic plaques

what is Peripheral artery disease

arteries that supply blood to the limbs become narrowed or blocked, usually due to atherosclerosis

What are the exercise considerations for CAD

Prolonged warm up and cool down
Stop if angina, severe dyspnea, dizziness, or palpitations occur
Medication effects
Environment

What are exercise considerations for PAD

Claudication pain
Avoid High impact exercise
Walking distance tolerance
Peripheral Ischemia
Skin and Limb Care

What is Chronic Heart Failure

Heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body’s metabolic needs

What are the Symptoms of Chronic Heart Failure

Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
Fatigue
Swelling in legs, ankles, or abdomen
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Reduced exercise tolerance

What are the exercise considerations for Chronic Heart Failure

Start low-intensity, progress gradually
Monitor for fatigue, dyspnea
Interval training can be beneficial
Monitoring Vital Signs
Environment
