“…Specifically, RAS or oxygen uptake reserve should be routinely assessed in non‐desk workplaces during placement of new employees as well as in the process of designing work modifications for employees returning to work after being diagnosed with CHD. Both bicycle ergometry and ambulatory ECG may be warranted for workers with CVD …”

“…14 This so called Ludwigshafen model is widely used Furthermore, there are exemplary tables which correlate energy requirements in METs (depending on body weight) with the performed load during cycle ergometry. 15 Although this scheme can be applied in a variety of patients, it has limitations such as not taking into account age and gender differences. Including this parameters CPET is a more objective and reliable method, but there are only limited data for the assignment into workintensity groups using the peak VO2.…”

The vocational reintegration of patients after an acute coronary syndrome is a crucial step towards complete convalescence from the social as well as the individual point of view. Return to work rates are determined by medical parameters such as left ventricular function, residual ischaemia and heart rhythm stability, as well as by occupational requirement profile such as blue or white collar work, night shifts and the ability to commute (which is, in part, determined by physical fitness). Psychosocial factors including depression, self-perceived health situation and pre-existing cognitive impairment determine the reintegration rate to a significant extent. Patients at risk of poor vocational outcomes should be identified in the early period of rehabilitation to avoid a reintegration failure and to prevent socio-professional exclusion with adverse psychological and financial consequences. A comprehensive healthcare pathway of acute coronary syndrome patients is initiated by cardiac rehabilitation, which includes specific algorithms and assessment tools for risk stratification and occupational restitution. As the first in its kind, this review addresses determinants and legal aspects of reintegration of patients experiencing an acute coronary syndrome, and offers practical advice on reintegration strategies particularly for vulnerable patients. It presents different approaches and scientific findings in the European countries and serves as a recommendation for action.

“…Subjects were asked the average amount of time in a typical day they spent sleeping, resting, and performing light, moderate, or heavy physical activity during the past year using a list of leisure and household activities. 9,12 Patients also were asked their physical activity during the preceding 24 hours and the past month. Activities were assigned an estimated caloric requirement using standardized tables 9,13 and multiplied by the time spent in each activity to estimate the energy expended during a typical day and the individual's PAI.…”

“…14 Total physical activity was also divided into time spent on heavy (Ͼ6 METS), moderate (4-6 METS), light (2-4 METS), and sedentary (Ͻ2 METS) activities. 12 Patients were also stratified by physical activity status into very low, low, moderate, or high activity groups using the modi-fied scoring scheme of the LRC Physical Activity Questionnaire. 11 Patients graded their level of physical activity relative to their peers at work and leisure.…”
