Abstract
A 61-year-old black woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is referred for enrollment in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Pulmonary rehabilitation includes high-intensity exercise to improve muscle function and reduce dynamic hyperinflation of the lungs, as well as education to promote collaborative self-management strategies. Patients with unstable angina or recent myocardial infarction may not be good candidates for pulmonary rehabilitation.This publication has 44 references indexed in Scilit:
