Background Although gait speed and six-minute walk distance are used to assess functional capacity in older patients with cardiovascular disease, their prognostic capabilities have not been directly compared. Methods The study population was identified from the Kitasato University Cardiac Rehabilitation Database consisted of 1474 ≥60 years old a mean age 72.2 ± 7.1 that underwent evaluation both usual routine geriatric assessment between 1 June 2008–30 September 2015. Both were determined on...
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are frequently readmitted to the hospital due disease progression. Although a shorter 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) is correlated poor prognosis, 6MWD not considered clinical indicator for predicting readmission.We investigated whether measured at time of discharge predicted readmission in CHF patients.Patients admitted first were enrolled. After was discharge, patients followed-up 3 years. Clinical characteristics, and evaluated 252 (68.5 ± 11.8...
Abstract Aims Sarcopenia has recently been given an ICD‐10 code. However, there have no systematic investigations regarding the prevalence or prognostic value of sarcopenia in cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to international consensus definition. The present study was performed investigate and elderly patients with CVD. Methods results population consisted 1603 admitted aged ≥ 65 years (74.4 ± 6.2 years, 1049 men) defined recommended diagnostic algorithm Asia Working Group for...
Evidence for the prognostic value of gait speed is largely based on a single measure at baseline, so we investigated significance change in hospitalized older acute heart failure (AHF) patients.
The outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with end-stage arthritis the is associated preoperative physical status. This study was performed to examine relationship between severity sarcopenia and clinical outcomes after THA. retrospective cohort among 306 consecutive (mean age: 63.7 ± 12.9 years, 222 women) undergoing THA at a university hospital. determined based on skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), handgrip strength, gait speed according criteria Asian Working Group for...
With the aging of world's population, frailty, defined as reduced physiological reserve and vulnerability to stressors, is becoming an increasingly important issue in cardiovascular medicine older patients.1,2 Acute heart failure (AHF) a leading cause hospitalization worldwide associated with quality life (QOL), increased medical costs.3 In AHF patients, frailty strong predictor early disability, re-admission, mortality.4 Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) method safely inducing contraction...
There have been no investigations of the prevalence and clinical implications coexistence anaemia frailty in older patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) despite their association adverse health outcomes. The present study was performed to determine prognostic value HF. We post hoc analysis consecutive HF ≥65 years old enrolled FRAGILE-HF, which prospective, multicentre, observational study. Anaemia defined as haemoglobin < 13 g/dL men <12 women, evaluated according Fried phenotype...
Two-stage revision arthroplasty often results in poor functional outcomes. Rehabilitation strategies to maximize recovery after two-stage have not yet been established. This report presents a case of successful rehabilitation total hip (THA). A 75-year-old Japanese woman underwent primary THA and experienced an intraoperative acetabular fracture. Staged was performed because large bone defect. After the first-stage implant removal, progressive muscle strength training, such as quadriceps...
