The prognostic value of the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test in Chagas cardiomyopathy
CONCLUSIONS: The ISWT is a valuable tool with potential value in the prognostic evaluation of patients with ChC.Implications for rehabilitationPatients with Chagas cardiomyopathy showed functional impairment since the early stages of heart disease.The Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) can be a valuable and inexpensive tool in the risk stratification of the patients.The ISWT distance is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular event.The ISWT distance of 440m is the optimal cut-off point in the identification of patients at risk for adverse cardiovascular events.PMID:34613873 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1986580

Prehabilitation Coming of Age: IMPLICATIONS FOR CARDIAC AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION
While cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs traditionally involve exercise therapy and risk management following an event (eg, myocardial infarction and stroke), or an intervention (eg, coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention), prehabilitation involves enhancing functional capacity and optimizing risk profile prior to a scheduled intervention. The concept of prehabilitation is based on the principle that patients with higher functional capabilities will better tolerate an intervention, and will have better pre- and post-surgical outcomes. In addition to improving fitness, prehabilitati...

The Rehabilitation of Advanced Heart Failure Patients After Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Narrative Review
Publication date: Available online 19 June 2018Source: PM&RAuthor(s): Sarah M. Eickmeyer, Kim D. Barker, Anjum Sayyad, Leslie RydbergAbstractBecause more patients with advanced heart failure are receiving a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as destination therapy or a bridge to transplantation, there is increasing attention on functional outcomes and quality of life after LVAD implantation. Rehabilitation providers in the acute inpatient rehabilitation setting increasingly will treat patients with an LVAD and should understand the exercise physiology, medical management, rehabilitation considerations, and outcomes afte...

Stem cells and motor recovery after stroke
Publication date: Available online 28 August 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): I. Loubinoux , B. Demain , C. Davoust , B. Plas , L. Vaysse In stroke patients with severe persistent neurological deficits, alternative therapeutic modalities are limited. Stem cell therapy might be an opportunity when the safety profile of this approach will be achieved. This review will give possible mechanisms of restoration of function in animals and a statement of clinical trials in humans. The sources of neural stem cells for therapeutic use will be detailed. Potentials mechanisms of transplanted cell...
