PY - 2011 T2 - Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy: An Evidence-Based Approach, 2e 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.
