Exercise Participation for Patients with Valvular Heart Disease: a Review of the Current Guidelines.
Antonio B FernandezPaul D ThompsonPublished in: Current cardiology reports (2021)
Exercise recommendations for individuals with VHD have been presented since at least 1984. There is limited data on the impact of intensive physical activity on the progression and outcomes of VHD. Therefore, current recommendations are based on consensus opinion. Most recent consensus guidelines address exercise participation in young and active older individuals. Exercise guidelines for patients with VHD have become progressively less restrictive to allow exercise participation for many VHD patients. These more progressive recommendations should be included in clinical decision-making when evaluating physical activity levels for athletes and active adults with VHD.
