As the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program 1 (CVR1) does not yet recommend the 50 MWT in CVR1 due to safety measures and cardiovascular repercussion on the program, the inclusion of this tool is necessary as it concerns a population at risk. Objective: Compare the functional response and cardiovascular 50 MWT in patients with ACS who underwent CVR1. Methodology: Single-arm clinical trial, conducted with ACS patients admitted to the CICU of a private Hospital in Salvador - Brazil, from 24 to 48 hours post-event. The inclusion c.. View More»
