Not accepted
You may be eligible if
clinic systolic BP(SBP) higher than 130mmHg (for HT class) because the Hong Kong primary care office guideline, as of Jan 2019, regarded good control of SBP to be ≤130mmHg, OR HbA1c \>7% (for DM class)
self-reported regular exercise of ≤3 times per week - this cut-off is arbitrary but people who exercise more than 3 times may have little space for improvement; and these patients will unlikely be referred to EIM when it is implemented in routine clinical practice, - who have used any mobile apps on their phone (because the intervention involve use of apps to monitor and remind regular exercise)
You may not be if
patients with diagnosed chronic obstructive lung disease and recent stroke (within last 12 months) are excluded because there are other evidence-proven and well-structured programmes for these patients in the Hospital Authority (HA), for instance, pulmonary rehabilitation program conducted by physiotherapy and/or occupational therapist in HA. - - acute myocardial infarction in last 6 months
ongoing angina
uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
acute diseases including known active endocarditis/acute pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infarction, deep vein thrombosis, acute aortic dissection, acute myocarditis
known aortic stenosis
known heart failure
known obstructive left main coronary artery stenosis
uncontrolled ventricular rates
complete heart block
known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
mental impairment that limit co-operation
resting blood pressure with systolic blood pressure \>180mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110mmHg
known anaemia with haemoglobin level less than 11gm/dL
known uncorrected electrolyte imbalance
known uncontrolled hyperthyroidism.
For DM patients, patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and recent retinal bleeding (in last 12 months) are also excluded due to reports that vigorous exercise may increase blood pressure and led to retinal bleeding in these patients
