Abstract

Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AE) may present cardiac manifestations, mainly aortic root dilation and valvular disease. Rehabilitation programs to improve cardiovascular capacity are important for maintaining the quality of life of these patients, who tend to evolve with their disease impairments and dysfunctions, when not corrected. The objective of this study was to report the clinical case of a 67-year-old male patient diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis for twenty years and with cardiac structural evolutions. The rehabilitation program involves stretching exercises, aerobics, resistance and health education. The Borg Subjective Effort Scale was used to analyze the patient’s effort during exercises and activities of daily living. However, it maintained its functional capacity in daily and instrumental life activities over the years even with the structural evolution of the disease due to the constant practice of rehabilitation.
