Exercise for Cardio-Oncology Patients
Guest: Ray W. Squires, Ph.D.
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky)
Mayo Clinic launched its cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) program in 2017. In 2019, the American Heart Association, with endorsement from the American Cancer Society, published a rationale supporting partnerships with existing cardiac rehabilitation programs to bring patients with cancer into those programs for supervised exercise training and modification of cardiac risk factors. In 2021, Dr. Squires and fellow researchers published the article, "Cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) exercise prescription and programming: A practical guide in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention."
Joining us today to discuss cardio-oncology rehabilitation is Ray W. Squires, Ph.D., Cardiovascular Medicine and director of the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- Heightened cardiovascular risk for patients with diverse cancers
- Studies supporting exercise training for patients with cancer to improve cardiorespiratory fitness
- The No. 1 cause of death for patients with cancer
- CORE program individualization to provide motivation and exercise management for patients already exhausted by chemotherapy and radiation therapy
- Avoiding long sedentary periods and other considerations for patients with cancer
- CORE and the electrocardiogram age of patients with cancer
- Reimbursement considerations and CORE programs nationally
