Early Cardiac Rehabilitation to Reduce Heart Failure Readmissions
Purpose: This research was conducted to determine whether early participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces readmissions following heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Methods: A retrospective quasiexperimental comparison group design was used. Electronic medical records were abstracted for HF patients discharged between March 2013 and December 2017. The treatment group was defined as patients with HF who attended ≥1 CR session within 6 wk following discharge. The comparison group was defined as patients with HF without additional HF hospitalizations during the previous year, discharged to home/self-ca...

Prevalence, Impact, and Trajectories of Sleep Disturbance in Cardiac Rehabilitation: A NARRATIVE REVIEW AND SUGGESTIONS FOR EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
Objective: The aim of this review was to summarize literature examining the prevalence, impact, and trajectories of sleep disturbance in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients and discuss how CR programs may incorporate targeted evaluation and interventions to promote sleep health. Review Methods: A narrative review of literature allowed for an examination of the prevalence of sleep disturbance in CR patients, the effects of sleep disturbance on CR outcomes, and trajectories of sleep disturbance in CR. Summary: Sleep disturbance is prevalent in CR patient populations and is related to clinical and functiona...

Resistance Training in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Failure, and Valvular Heart Disease: A REVIEW WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON OLD AGE, FRAILTY, AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
Purpose: Current guidelines recommend individually adapted resistance training (RT) as a part of the exercise regime in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this review was to provide insights into current knowledge and understanding of how useful, feasible, safe, and effective RT is in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), and valvular heart disease (VHD), with particular emphasis on the role of RT in elderly and/or frail patients. Review Methods: A review based on an intensive literature search: systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in 2010 or later; recent stud...

Heart Failure in Cardiac Rehabilitation: A REVIEW AND PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Purpose: Exercise cardiac rehabilitation (CR) represents an evidence-based therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and this article provides a concise review of the relevant exercise testing and CR literature, including aspects unique to their care. Clinical Considerations: A hallmark feature of HFrEF is exercise intolerance (eg, early-onset fatigue). Drug therapies for HFrEF target neurohormonal pathways to blunt negative remodeling of the cardiac architecture and restore favorable loading conditions. Guideline drug therapy includes β-adrenergic blocking agents; blockade ...

A Nonexercise Estimate of Cardiorespiratory Fitness Using a Symptom Questionnaire and Clinical Variables
Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has recently been recognized as a risk factor for mortality, but it is not routinely measured in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to assess a nonexercise method to estimate CRF (eCRF) and its association with mortality in a clinically referred population. Methods: A symptom tool, termed the Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ), and nonexercise clinical variables were obtained from 1545 clinically referred subjects (60 ± 13 yr), and followed for a mean of 5.6 ± 4.2 yr. The VSAQ along with nonexercise clinical and historical variables was used t...

Percentage of Age-Predicted Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Incident Hypertension: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY
Conclusions: Percentage of age-predicted CRF is linearly, inversely, and independently associated with risk of incident HTN, and it is comparable to absolute CRF as a risk indicator for HTN in a general population of middle-aged men. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)
