Filter by:Establish an electronic cardiac rehabilitation patient registration system and clinical database, carry out prospective cohort follow-up and observation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients receiving cardiac rehabilitation in inpatients and outpatients, collect risk factors, diagnosis and treatment status, rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment, clinical outcomes and follow-up results, and establish a short-term and long-term follow-up mechanism.
In this study, we will implement a pilot project of using activity tracker (i.e., Fitbit) with phase III CR clients. The study will record the clients' daily steps and sleep patterns for 8 consecutive weeks in natural settings. Two specific aims are identified for this project: 1. Develop an intervention protocol using mHealth to promote Phase III CR clients' self-monitoring of PA. 2. Examine the efficacy of the intervention on clients' PA, sleep patterns, functional capacity and QoL.
To identify factors and triggers influencing physical activity (PA) participation after structured cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among older adults who have enrolled in a center-based CR program, and compare the effects of a targeted health coaching intervention versus standard care immediately following structured CR on PA maintenance and functional fitness.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death in developed countries, including Sweden. Standard treatment for patients after MI includes exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation which contributes to improved cardiovascular function and reduces the risk of hospital readmissions, new cardiovascular events and mortality. Thermotherapy may also have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease by a reduction in inflammatory status and improved metabolism and vascular function. Given the well-documented effects of exercise training on cardiac rehabilitation and recent evidence that thermotherapy may improve cardiovascular function, we wish to investigate the effect of exercise combined with hot water immersion (HWI) in cardiac rehabilitation post-MI. This is a single-centre, randomized controlled clinical trial in patients with recent MI. Our aim is to investigate whether exercise training combined with HWI improves inflammatory and metabolic status, cardiovascular function as well as psychological well-being, compared with exercise training alone. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to an 8 week intervention with exercise training 2 times per week followed by 15 minutes of hot water immersion, or to a control group with exercise training alone. The primary endpoint is changes in the inflammatory marker interleukin (IL-) 6 between groups at 8 weeks. Secondary endpoints include other biomarkers of inflammation, metabolism, effects on cardiovascular function and psychological benefits. Secondary prevention after MI has improved during the last decades but readmissions and death following acute MI remain large health challenges. If HWI in addition to standard cardiac rehabilitation can lower inflammation more than standard therapy alone, and improve metabolic, cardiovascular and psychological status, it could be a cost-effective and safe complementary strategy for secondary prevention after MI, particularly for those with limited exercise capability.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training on cardiopulmonary functions in chronic heart failure.
Maintaining physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation has a major role in disease progression and patient prognosis. 6 months after the cardiac rehabilitation, we find during a nursing interview that many patients do not maintain regular physical activity. 1 year after cardiac rehabilitation, between 30% and 60% of patients do not maintain the recommendations in terms of physical activity. It is recommended to perform studies evaluating the effectiveness of new technologies in the fight against non-compliance recommendations for physical activity. That is why, study the interest of using an application connected post-cardiac rehabilitation seems necessary to fight against dropouts in terms of physical activity.
The purpose of this study is to sustain regular physical activity, improve health-related quality of life, improve resting blood pressure, improve anthropometrics, and improve adherence to prescribed cardiac rehabilitation sessions among individuals referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Numerous studies show that CR improves clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exercise as a reliable adjunctive intervention, however, remains limited due to poor short- and long-term adherence. This proposed study will examine the effectiveness of the Kura Care KardioPac digital application plus CR to significantly sustain exercise adherence among CR patients, as compared to standard of care alone.
In Republic of Korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In this study, the investigators will provide newly developed smartphone application to patients with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. The investigators want to confirm whether participants, who perform smartphone application based 12-week PR or CR program, present improved exercise capacity, dyspnea symptom, muscle strength, or quality of life.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a crucial part of secondary prevention and optimal care of patients with ACS. However, the participation rate in CR after ACS is far from expected. In our study, we will aim to examine the rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation and the factors affecting it in patients followed up for acute coronary syndrome in the coronary intensive care unit of our hospital. Our main hypothesis is that the lower rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute coronary syndrome is associated with one or more of that older age, female gender, multimorbidity, poor functional capacity, lower health literacy level or quality of life levels.
The whole experiment included one-month APBCRE therapy and two assessments. The one-month APBCRE consisted of twelve exercise sessions, evenly three times per week. At baseline and after rehabilitation, participants underwent one assessment, including car-diopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), resting metabolic rate (RMR) detection, and quality of life questionnaire (QoL). The primary outcomes were exercise capacity measured by function parameters at anaerobic threshold (AT) and other CPET physiological indexes. The secondary endpoints were the RMR level and QoL score.
