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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

DECEMBER 13, 2023

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).

Cochrane corner: centre versus telemedicine approaches to cardiac rehabilitation

Heart BMJ

DECEMBER 15, 2023

Introduction Centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) is typically offered to individuals post cardiac event or diagnosis to support recovery and reduce risk of future cardiovascular events. In 2017, a Cochrane review reported HBCR and CBCR to be equally effective in improving health outcomes.

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

Open Heart

MARCH 16, 2023

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.

Introduction Cardiac diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation is proven to be beneficial in reducing morbidity, mortality and rehospitalisation rates. Recently, more emphasis is given to home-based telemonitored cardiac rehabilitation due to the recent pandemic of SARS-CoV-2.

People who participate in cardiac rehabilitation have a decreased risk of death years after surgery, with a trend towards better outcomes in patients who attend more sessions, a study finds. Just over half of patients attended a single session of cardiac rehabilitation, and only 12% of those patients completed all 36 sessions.
