Purpose:
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a well-established assessment with important insight into prognosis and therapeutic efficacy in patients with heart failure (HF). Prior studies have identified several clinical differences between Black or African American (B-AA) and Caucasian patients with HF. Differences in key CPX responses between these two groups require further investigation.
Methods:
Using a database consisting of subjects with symptomatic HF who had undergone CPX for inclusion in various prospective randomized clinical trials, we identified 198 (n = 94 [47%] B-AA; n = 105 [53%] Caucasian...

Comparison of Lean Mass in Women With and Without Heart Disease
Purpose:
This proof-of-concept study compared lean mass (LM) between women with heart disease (HD) and without HD.
Methods:
Fifty-six community-dwelling women were pair-matched by age. Heart disease was defined using criteria from the US Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Body composition was measured using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Relative LM was calculated against height (kg/m2) as the lean mass index (LMI). Sarcopenia was defined as an LMI (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)

Assessment of the Early Disabling Effects of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Using Direct Measures of Physical Function
Purpose:
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is an important treatment option in patients with coronary artery disease. Despite its beneficial effects, CABG surgery and its subsequent hospitalization may reduce physical functional capacity in patients, contributing to physical disability. Our objective was to assess the early disabling effects of CABG surgery and its subsequent hospitalization using direct measurements of physical function.
Methods:
Patients (n = 44) were assessed pre-surgery and at hospital discharge for physical function using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and self-repo...

Chronotropic Responses to Exercise and Recovery in Myocardial Infarction Patients Taking β-Blockers Following Aerobic High-Intensity Interval Training: AN INTERFARCT STUDY
The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of two different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs (low-volume vs high-volume) on chronotropic responses during exercise and recovery, and to contrast the results of the HIIT groups together to only physical activity recommendations in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients taking β-blockers.
Methods:
Resting heart rate (HRrest), peak HR (HRpeak), HR reserve (HRreserve = HRpeak-HRrest), HR recovery (HRR) as the difference between HRpeak and post-exercise HR, and chronotropic incompetence were assessed in 70 patients (58 ± 8 yr) following MI ...

Sex and Age Differences in Anxiety and Depression Levels Before and After Aerobic Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation
Conclusions:
Younger and middle-aged adults experience higher levels of anxiety upon entry into CR compared with older adults. Cardiac rehabilitation was associated with significant reductions in anxiety and depression severity, yet dropout rates were highest among younger adults.

A Review of the Design and Implementation of a Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program: AN EXPANDING OPPORTUNITY FOR OPTIMIZING CARDIOVASCULAR CARE
Purpose:
This review describes the considerations for the design and implementation of a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (HYCR) program, a patient-individualized combination of facility-based cardiac rehabilitation (FBCR) with virtual cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and/or remote CR.
Review Methods:
To help meet the goal of the Millions Hearts Initiative to increase CR participation to 70% by 2022, a targeted review of the literature was conducted to identify studies pertinent to the practical design and implementation of an HYCR program. Areas focused upon included the current use of HYCR, exercise programming consid...

Current Nutrition Practice in Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs
Conclusions:
To ensure that patients receive the benefits of evidence-based nutrition care, program staff may require additional support, particularly regarding the use of evidence-based behavior change techniques. Key facilitators that may be leveraged to achieve this include the high value and priority that CR program coordinators place on nutrition care. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)

Effect of Strength Versus Strength and Endurance Upper Limb Exercise Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Conclusions:
In addition to standard PR of patients with COPD, the combined endurance and resistance ULET program improved ADL and muscle strength, whereas resistance training only increased strength. (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation)
