Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including pacemakers, defibrillators, and resynchronization devices, significantly enhance patient outcomes, reduce sudden cardiac death, improve health-related quality of life. CIED implantation is associated to persistent shoulder dysfunction in a considerable number patients one-year post-implantation. This may result disability, diminished life, work absenteeism, negative psychological effects. Restoring upper extremity function after...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) significantly improves cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). International guidelines vary the minimum recommended frequency of supervised exercise from 1 to 3 sessions per week. This is first study Middle East and North African regions assessing impact 2 versus days/week on peak capacity CAD. Single-center retrospective cohort involving 362 enrolled only CR center State Qatar. Only high-quality data was included by strict...
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cessation of approximately 75% cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes worldwide. In March 2020, CR phase II (CRP2) services were stopped Qatar. Multiple studies had shown safety, effectiveness, reduced cost delivery and improved participation with hybrid CR. A multidisciplinary team reviewed various alternative models for decided to implement a CRP2 exercise programme (HCRP2-EP) ensure continuation our patient care. Our aim was enrol HCRP2-EP 70% all...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended for all patients with stable angina (SA) as an effective treatment. Hemoglobin (Hgb) levels predict exercise performance and may affect symptom threshold in SA patients. A multidisciplinary CR intervention was individually tailored a 72-year-old patient diagnosis of SA, low Hgb (<10 g/dL), typical chest pain at light-to-moderate (<5 metabolic equivalent task), who stratified high risk cardiac events during exercise. Two symptom-limited tests...
