| Summary: | Introduction: Frailty syndrome is a multifactorial phenomenon that increases vulnerability in older adults, compromising their functional capacity. Frailty is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and can be mitigated through appropriate interventions. Objectives: Thus, the study aims to evaluate the vulnerability index associated with cardiovascular diseases and the performance in functional tests applied to participants in the cardiovascular rehabilitation program. Methods: This is a descriptive, retrospective study based on data from 10 patient records aged ≥60 years who participated in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program at the Federal University of Uberlândia. The tests analyzed included the 1-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test (STS), Timed Up and Go (TUG), and 6-Minute Step Test (6MWT), along with the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Results: The tests showed improvements in functional indices after rehabilitation, with significant increases in performance in the STS and 6MWT. However, the mean functional capacity, as assessed by the CFS, did not show significant improvement. Conclusion: Cardiovascular rehabilitation proved effective in improving some functional parameters in frail older adults but did not impact the overall mean functional capacity. Future studies with longer intervention periods may provide clearer insights into these findings. |
