Women are less likely than men to use cardiac rehabilitation (CR); thus, women-focused (W-F) CR was developed. Implementation of W-F globally investigated, as well barriers and enablers its delivery.
Surgically treated acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients are often restricted from physical exercise due to a lack of knowledge about safe blood pressure (BP) ranges. The aim this study was describe the evolution early postoperative cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for with ATAAD. This is retrospective 73 ATAAD who were referred CR department after surgery. An incremental symptom-limited stress test (ExT) on cyclo-ergometer performed before and CR, which included continuous training...
Integrating biomedical sensors to a telerehabilitation platform allowed clinicians receive real-time transmissions of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, oxygen saturation, and heart rate during an exercise program. These clinical data could be helpful adjust personalize intensity exercises each patient's condition. The purpose this study was evaluate feasibility usefulness in patients with failure (HF).Four participants HF (mean age 66 years) followed 12-week cardiac program using...
Introduction: Despite extensive research on the effect of supervised exercise therapy walking performance in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it remains unclear which training modality provides greatest improvement capacity. The objective this study was to compare different types capacity individuals PAD. Methods: A random-effect network meta-analysis performed. following databases were searched from January 1966 April 2021: SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, AMED,...
Objective: To compare the acute and chronic effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to moderate-intensity continuous (MICT) on glycemic control, body composition glucose monitoring (CGM) in older women with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: Thirty (68 ± 5 years) T2D were randomized two groups—HIIT (75 min/week) or MICT (150 min/week). Glucose homeostasis (A1c, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR2) (iDXA) measured before after 12-week exercise intervention. During first last week...
Heart failure is a chronic and progressive condition that associated with high morbidity mortality rates. Even though cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to be beneficial heart patients, only very small proportion of them will actually referred eventually participate. The low participation rate due in part accessibility travel difficulties. Telerehabilitation new approach the field allows patients receive complete program at home safe manner under adequate supervision. We believe by...
Two high-intensity interval training (HIIT) regimens are often used in research and clinical settings. Yet, there has been no direct comparison to determine if one can improve glucose control variability a greater extent individuals living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Fourteen older females T2D participated semi-randomized trial where HIIT10 (10 × 1-min intervals at 90% heart rate max; HRmax) HIIT4 (4 4-min of were compared condition (CON; exercise). Continuous monitoring was assess over 24 h...
Abstract Background Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) may help detect coronary artery disease (CAD) when combined with dobutamine stress echocardiography. However, few studies have explored STE exercise (ESE). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, reliability, and incremental value of treadmill ESE compared alone CAD. Methods conducted a case–control study all consecutive patients abnormal in 2018–2020 who subsequently underwent angiography within six-month interval....
In the perioperative setting, norepinephrine is used to increase blood pressure, an effect mediated mostly via arterial and venous vasoconstriction. Thus, is, allegedly, less likely cause or worsen left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) than other inotropes. We report a case of norepinephrine-associated dynamic LVOTO systolic anterior movement in predisposed patient. This highlights that unrecognised may shock parameters patients treated with who have underlying myocardial hypertrophy.
Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease prevalence in women is high globally, which leads to a great burden of disability, and it their leading cause death. rehabilitation (CR) an outpatient model secondary preventive care proven mitigate this burden; however, significantly fewer access CR than men, those that do are less likely complete the program. Accordingly, women-focused (W-F) models have been developed, better engage optimize outcomes. Purpose The objectives study were investigate:...
Improvements in glycemic control following acute exercise are typically attributed to improved post-exercise insulin sensitivity (IS) with comparatively little known about how impacts beta cell function, especially post-menopausal females. We determined two high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols, matched for total estimated energy expenditure, impact function females type 2 diabetes.
ABSTRACT Background : The acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on blood pressure (BP) may depend the exercise protocol performed. Purpose: To compare effect high and low-volume HIIT post-exercise ambulatory BP in untrained older females diagnosed with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) hypertension (HTN). Methods: Fifteen (69 [65 ─ 74] years) completed a crossover study three experimental conditions: 1) REST (35 min sitting position); 2) HIIT10 (10 × 1 at 90% heart rate max...
