Evaluation of an Online Course in 5 Languages for Inpatient Cardiac Care Providers on Promoting Cardiac Rehabilitation: REACH, EFFECTS, AND SATISFACTION
Purpose: Evidence proves that health care providers should promote cardiac rehabilitation (CR) to patients face-to-face to increase CR enrollment. An online course was designed to promote this at the bedside; it is evaluated herein in terms of reach, effect on knowledge, attitudes, discussion self-efficacy and practices, and satisfaction. Methods: Design was observational, one-group pre- and post-test. Some demographics were requested from learners taking all language versions of the 20-min course: English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and simplified Chinese, available at: https://globalcardiacrehab.com/CR-Utili...

Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients With Ventricular Assist Device
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in exercise capacity (EC) and quality of life (QoL) of patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs) during cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Methods: Data from patients with VAD implantation and subsequent CR between 2007 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Measures of the 6-min walk test [6MWT] distance, Functional Independence Measure [FIM], ergometry, MacNew Heart Disease Questionnaire [MNH], and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] at entry and discharge were examined. Results: Data from 110 patients (age 53 ± 12 yr; male 82%) were a...

Physical and Psychological Well-being Effects of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Patients Following Mitral Valve and Aortic Valve Procedures
Conclusions: CR participation resulted in similar improvements in physical activity between patients undergoing mitral valve and aortic valve procedures. Psychological well-being and quality of life scores improved minimally and similarly between the two groups. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)

Impact of Social Disparities on Cardiovascular Disease and COVID-19 Outcomes: BARRIERS TO CARE AND PREVENTIVE INTERVENTIONS
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed significant disparities within certain population subsets that manifest through greater disease burden and worse outcomes. In this commentary, we propose specific preventive interventions to address these disparities within the United States. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)

Motivational Strategies and Concepts to Increase Participation and Adherence in Cardiac Rehabilitation: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Conclusions: Motivational interviewing and counseling, motivational and reinforcement strategies, and the autonomy, competence, and relatedness of SDT concepts should be utilized to promote participation and motivation for CR. The effects of these techniques on long-term CR require further research, including combining the identified methods to investigate the efficacy of these techniques on CR adherence.

Exercise ECG Testing and Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Risk Prediction in Patients With Chronic Coronary Syndrome
Purpose: Vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance (VS-CMR) has become crucial in the workup of patients with known or suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Whether traditional exercise ECG testing (ExECG) contributes prognostic information beyond VS-CMR is unclear. Methods: We retrospectively included 288 patients with known or suspected CCS who had undergone ExECG and subsequent VS-CMR in our institution. Clinical, ExECG, and VS-CMR variables were recorded. We defined the serious adverse events (SAE) as a combined endpoint of acute coronary syndrome, admission for heart failure, or all-cause death. ...

New Formula to Predict Heart Rate at Anaerobic Threshold That Considers the Effects of β-Blockers in Patients With Myocardial Infarction: MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL RETROSPECTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Purpose: It is recommended that patients with myocardial infarction (MI) be prescribed exercise by target heart rate (HR) at the anaerobic threshold (AT) via cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). Although percent HR reserve using predicted HRmax (%HRRpred) is used to prescribe exercise if CPX or an exercise test cannot be performed, %HRRpred is especially difficult to use when patients take β-blockers. We devised a new formula to predict HR at AT (HRAT) that considers β-blocker effects in MI patients and validated its accuracy. Methods: The new formula was created using the data of 196 MI patients in our hos...

Association Between Daily Steps at Moderate Cadence and Vascular Outcomes in Patients With Claudication
Purpose: We determined whether patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and claudication grouped according to tertiles of community-based daily steps taken at a moderate cadence had differences in vascular function and biomarkers and whether group differences in vascular function and biomarkers persisted after adjusting for demographic variables, comorbid conditions, and severity of PAD. Methods: Two hundred sixty-three patients were evaluated for 1 wk on steps taken at a moderate cadence (exceeding 60 steps/min), and patients were placed into low (group 1), intermediate (group 2), and high (group 3) tertil...
