While many individuals can quickly return to physical activity after COVID-19 infection, a subgroup experience persistent fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, and malaise. Although there is still much to learn about effectively individualizing the exercise prescription for these individuals, this webinar will review current strategies and considerations for prescribing exercise to those in the post COVID-19-infection phase.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been used for decades to assess cardiac function in pediatric patients born with congenital heart diseases. As surgical techniques and medical management of these patients have improved, their life expectancies have also increased. CPET continues to be a valuable tool used in their ongoing cardiology care. This presentation will focus on the testing protocols and metabolic indices used in patients with pediatric and adult congenital heart disease.

During this presentation we will review basic ECG knowledge including sinus, atrial, and ventricular dysrhythmias, as well as lethal rhythm identification. We will discuss exercise-induced ectopy, common associated symptoms, and when a physician should be notified. The conclusion of the webinar will include several examples and rhythm identification challenges.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is effective at increasing physical activity on days patients attend CR. However, patients accumulate significantly less physical activity on non-CR days. Many strategies have been shown to increase physical activity on non-CR days but taking a "one size fits all approach" may not be appropriate for all patients. This webinar will review strategies to facilitate a physically active lifestyle beyond CR and provide guidance on individualizing to the patient's needs.

Presenter: Matt Thomas, MS, MBA, ACSM-CEP, CHI Memorial Hospital, TN

During this webinar, Matt discusses strategies for improving compensation for clinical exercise physiologists (CEPs) within cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and similar healthcare settings. He discusses (1) common compensation discrepancies for CEPs in healthcare settings; (2) a road map for developing a case for compensation adjustments within your institution; and (3) innovations that will warrant market adjustment for CEPs within cardiopulmonary rehabilitation settings.

During this webinar we will discuss (1) clinicians’ approach to understanding what constitutes a heart-healthy diet and how to discuss this with patients; (2) the evidence with regard to specific types of diets, specific types of food groups, fad diets; and (3) attempt to put this all into a historical context. Finally, we will review current ACC/AHA guidelines with regard to diet in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
