简要总结
To retrospectively investigate the effect of physical therapy intervention on improving physical function of patients post left ventricular assist device (LVAD) through electronic medical record survey
详细描述
Method: Using portable electronic medical record system in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), retrospectively survey medical record of patients who underwent left ventricular assist device (LVAD) operation in NTUH, compare improvement among those who had received physical therapy intervention and those who hadn't.
Inclusion criteria: aged older than 20 years old; diagnosed with heart failure and need LVAD implantation
Progress: Note down patients' clinical signs and symptoms, drug usage, imaging findings, physical therapy intervention details, and recovery of functional status. Physical therapy intervention details include: onset symptoms, history, treatment frequency, treatment type, any signs and symptoms during treatment progress and recovery of functional status post physical therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in walking function
时间窗: Baseline, two weeks
By using Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), we can obtain the maximum distance that patient can afford walking. In 6 minutes, they should walk as many as they can, on a 15-meter level corridor, assisted device (e.g. cane) can be used if they need. During the test, the patient can stop or rest if they want.
次要结局
- Change in heart rate(Baseline, two weeks)
- Change in blood pressure(Baseline, two weeks)
- Change in Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE)(Baseline, two weeks)
