Cardiorespiratory Optimal Point Is a Submaximal Exercise Test Variable and a Predictor of Mortality Risk: THE BALL STATE ADULT FITNESS LONGITUDINAL LIFESTYLE STUDY (BALL ST)
Purpose: The cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP) is the minimum ventilatory equivalent for oxygen. The COP can be determined during a submaximal incremental exercise test. Reflecting the optimal interaction between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, COP may have prognostic utility. The aim of this investigation was to determine the relationship between COP and all-cause mortality in a cohort of apparently healthy adults. Methods: The sample included 3160 apparently healthy adults (46% females) with a mean age of 44.0 ± 12.5 yr who performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Cox proportional hazards mo...

Association Between Meeting Physical Activity Time-Intensity Guidelines With Ambulation, Quality of Life, and Inflammation in Claudication
Purpose: The aim of this investigation was to determine if meeting the 2018 physical activity (PA) time-intensity guidelines was associated with better ambulatory function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), vascular function, and inflammation than failing to meet the guidelines in patients with peripheral artery disease and claudication. Second, we determined the optimal number of total steps/d and steps taken at moderate cadence needed to meet the PA time-intensity guidelines. Methods: Five hundred seventy-two patients were assessed on daily ambulatory activity for 1 wk with a step activity monitor, and w...

Benefits of the First Pritikin Outpatient Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Purpose: Intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) is a comprehensive, medically supervised exercise treatment program covered by Medicare for patients with approved cardiac diagnoses. The aim of this study was to determine the benefits of the first Pritikin outpatient ICR program. Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients referred to ICR or traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) during the first 7 yr (2013-2019) at the first facility to implement Pritikin ICR. Intensive cardiac rehabilitation is composed of 36 education sessions on nutrition, exercise, and a healthy mindset, in addition to 36 monitor...

Depressive Symptoms After Acute Myocardial Infarction and Its Association With Low Functional Capacity and Physical Activity
Conclusion: Systematic screening and treatment for depressive symptoms and efforts to promote CR may help to improve PA and functional capacity in Korean patients with AMI. Such efforts may aid in reducing the depressive symptoms and related adverse outcomes. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)

Meta-Analysis of Antidepressant Pharmacotherapy in Patients Eligible for Cardiac Rehabilitation: ANTIDEPRESSANT AMBIVALENCE
Purpose: Many patients exhibit clinically significant depression upon enrollment in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Antidepressants are a first-line treatment option for depression, but the effectiveness of antidepressants in patients with heart disease is mixed. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of antidepressants for depression in patients eligible for CR. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted including randomized controlled trials of antidepressants from January 1990 to September 2021 that compared antidepressants with placebo. Random-effects models were used between group effect si...

Exercise Training Programs Improve Cardiorespiratory and Functional Fitness in Adults With Asthma: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Purpose: This systematic review aimed to identify the characteristics and determine the effects of exercise interventions on improving health-related physical fitness in adults with asthma. Review Methods: A systematic search was completed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and SPORTDiscus for peer-reviewed publications of experimental studies that investigated the effects of an exercise training intervention on performance-based health-related physical fitness outcomes in adults with asthma. Two reviewers independently screened studies for inclusion according to predetermined criteria and performed data extraction and...

Built Environments and Cardiovascular Health: REVIEW AND IMPLICATIONS
Purpose: This review presents a general overview of the state of evidence on the relationships between neighborhood built environments and cardiovascular health outcomes among adults. We also summarize relevant literature on the associations of built environments with active living behaviors (physical activity [PA] and sedentary behavior), as they are considered as key behavioral pathways. Review Methods: We identified recently published systematic reviews assessing associations of built environment attributes with cardiovascular health outcomes or active living behaviors. We summarized findings of the key syste...

Screening for Psychological Distress and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Related Mortality: A SYSTEMATIZED REVIEW, META-ANALYSIS, AND CASE FOR PREVENTION
Conclusions: Rapid screening for psychological distress is a helpful and efficient approach to understanding the CVD risk profile of an individual. Additional investigations are needed to improve prospective evidence concerning psychosocial stress. Conducting analyses by sex may better elucidate the benefits of psychological distress screening for men and women, respectively, and encourage more widespread adoption in CVD prevention.
