AB Practice  Pattern  D  represents  a  progression  in  heart  disease  beginning  with  cardiac  pump  dysfunction,  which  eventually  may  progress  to  cardiac  pump  failure.  It  is  critically  important  that  a  physical  therapist  be  able  to  distinguish  between  a  person  with  cardiac  pump  dysfunction  and  a  person  with  cardiac  pump  failure.  The  inclusion/exclusion  criteria  of  Practice  Pattern  D  list  two  specific  pathologies  that  may  distinguish  between  cardiac  pump  dysfunction  from  cardiac  pump  failure  (ejection  fraction  <30%  and  exercise-induced  myocardial  ischemia)  and  two  specific  impairments  that  may  distinguish  between  cardiac  pump  dysfunction  from  cardiac  pump  failure  (hypoadaptive  blood  pressure  response  to  exercise  and  achieved  MET  level  during  exercise  testing).1  These  distinguishing  characteristics  are  listed  in  Box  18-1.
