Background— Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an efficacious yet underused treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. The objective of this study was to determine the association between CR completion and mortality resource use. Methods Results— We conducted a prospective cohort 5886 subjects (20.8% female; mean age, 60.6 years) who had undergone angiography were referred in Calgary, AB, Canada, 1996 2009. Outcomes interest included freedom from emergency room visits, hospitalization,...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces mortality in women and men with coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to examine sex differences long-term mortality, based on CR referral rates attendance patterns a large CAD population.This is retrospective cohort study.The Alberta Provincial Project for Outcomes Assessment Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) Wellness Institute Calgary (CWIC) databases were used obtain information all patients. Rates at compared by sex. Logistic...
Rationale Due to the cluster and associated comorbidities in residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs), COVID-19-associated morbidity mortality are significantly increased. Multiple therapeutic options, including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) azithromycin (AZI), were tried initially treat moderate severe COVID-19 high-risk patients LTCFs, but they abandoned due unfavorable reports. As a less toxic option, we initiated treatment with doxycycline (DOXY) very early course illness. DOXY has...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multicomponent intervention to reduce adverse outcomes from coronary artery disease, but its mechanisms are not fully understood. The aims of this study were examine the impact CR on survival and cardiovascular risk factors, determine potential mediators between attendance reduced mortality.
South Asian Canadians experience disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The goal this qualitative study was to determine the feasibility implementing a sustainable, culturally adapted, community-based CVD risk factor screening program for population.South Asians (≥ 45 years) in Calgary, Alberta underwent opportunistic by lay trained volunteers at local religious facilities. Those with elevated blood pressure (BP) or ≥ 1 point care cholesterol testing, 10-year...
Purpose Diabetes increases mortality after myocardial infarction, but participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces this risk. Our objectives were to examine whether attendance at CR and changes cardiorespiratory fitness differed according diabetic status sex. Methods Retrospective cohort study of patients referred for Calgary between 1996 2010. Cardiorespiratory metabolic equivalents (METs) was estimated by maximal exercise testing baseline, the end 12-wk program, 1-yr CR. Results...
AimsLeft-ventricular (LV) pacing with optimized atrio-ventricular (AV) timing may provide similar or greater benefit in comparison bi-ventricular (BiV) a subset of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) patients sinus rhythm and preserved AV conduction. We hypothesized that the optimal device delays during LV can be predicted using electrocardiogram (ECG) electrograms.
Although participation in either center- or home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve exercise capacity, the sustainability of this improvement following completion CR program is challenging. The purpose study was to compare immediate and 1-year effectiveness versus on capacity patients who were given choice participating a center-based program.This retrospective study, which relied database from large multidisciplinary program. A sample 3488 participated (n = 2803) 685) CR....
Importance Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks are frequent occurrences in nursing homes and long-term care facilities (LTCFs), resulting subsequent hospitalization death. Rationale Virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies demonstrate a significant decrease both viral load hospital transfer rate among patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection. Objective To assess the clinical outcomes of symptoms LTCFs who received LY-CoV555 as compared to those did not receive this...
Despite the health benefits associated with regular physical activity (PA), many cardiac patients fail to maintain optimal levels of PA after completing rehabilitation (CR). The long-term impact different CR delivery models on habits is not completely understood.The purpose this study use a multisensor accelerometer compare traditional versus fast-track coronary artery disease 6 months entry.Forty-four participants attended either (twice week, 12 weeks; n = 24) or (once 8 20) CR. Exercise...
This study explored patients' decision-making about whether or not to enroll in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), an underutilized program that is associated with significantly improved health outcomes.Face-to-face interviews were conducted acute coronary syndrome patients (n = 14) after referral a local CR center, but prior enrollment. Thematic analysis was used derive themes from interview transcripts.Three emerged including anticipated benefit, perceived ability, and contextual influences....
