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).

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

Open Heart

Individuals with HF and AF may have a reduced functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) which leads to hospital admission and burden on clinical services. However, there is no existing data on the effectiveness of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in individuals with coexisting HF and AF. ±9.8%

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.

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

Comparison of telecardiac rehabilitation with centre-based cardiac rehabilitation and usual care: a protocol for systematic review including a meta-analysis

Open Heart

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.

Rationale and Design of the mTECH?Rehab Randomized Controlled Trial: Impact of a Mobile Technology Enabled Corrie Cardiac Rehabilitation Program on Functional Status and Cardiovascular Health

Journal of the American Heart Association

The primary outcome is the mean difference between the intervention versus control groups in distance walked on the 6‐minute walk test (ie, functional capacity) at 12 weeks post randomization.

Overcoming Status Quo Bias: Embracing Evidence-Based Guidelines in Cardiometabolic Care 

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

This discussion explores the principles and practices of evidence-based cardiometabolic medicine, emphasizing the importance of integrating the latest research findings into clinical decision-making to improve patient outcomes. Heart Failure : Home-based cardiac rehabilitation is as effective as center-based programs.
