The Advance in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy is for those aspiring to enhance their management of patient with heart and lung related issues.
Shortness of breath associated with cardiorespiratory conditions and peripheral muscle weakness limits exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary and cardiac-related issues. Consequently, this reduces the daily physical activity levels, increasing the risk of developing severe complications and deaths.
A multidisciplinary approach partially reverses muscle weakness and dysfunction and improves the functional capacity of patients with chronic lung and heart disease.
With numerous cardiorespiratory conditions and the rise of Post Covid Syndrome, healthcare professionals must demonstrate core competencies in rehabilitating patients with pulmonary and cardiac-related issues.
