Cardiovascular risk assessments are an important part of the physical therapy screening process. This webinar will help therapists learn to identify cardiovascular risk factors, the different levels of cardiovascular risks, and the recommended actions when monitoring individuals during exercise. In addition, the webinar will discuss medication effects on monitoring those with cardiovascular risks and provide an overview for therapists working with special populations (such as children and seniors), including additional risks and recommendations.
