Impact of cardiac rehabilitation on pre- and post-operative transcatheter aortic valve replacement prognoses

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Indeed, among high-risk patients, TAVR outcomes are comparable to, or even better, than that of the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) method. TAVR outcomes, with respect to post-surgical functional capacity and quality of life, have also been found to be improved, especially when combined with cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Exercise?based cardiac rehabilitation for adults with heart failure – 2023 Cochrane systematic review and meta?analysis

European Journal of Heart Failure

This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heart failure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life. 1.01, MLWHF: −9.59, 95% CI −17.48

Cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure and atrial fibrillation: a propensity- matched study

Open Heart

Evidence supported the effect of exercise training in individuals with HF. However, there is no existing data on the effectiveness of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in individuals with coexisting HF and AF. There were no significant differences between groups for any of these outcome measures.

Effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation delivery modes on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life in heart failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background This review aimed to compare the relative effectiveness of different exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) delivery modes (centre-based, home-based, hybrid and technology-enabled ExCR) on key heart failure (HF) outcomes: exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), HF-related hospitalisation and HF-related mortality.

Harnessing digital health to optimise the delivery of guideline-based cardiac rehabilitation during COVID-19: an observational study

Open Heart

Background The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the uptake of digital health interventions for the delivery of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Methods We examined the impact of an evidence-based, digital CR programme on medical, lifestyle and psychosocial outcomes. However, there is a need to evaluate these interventions.
