Abstract Background A high sedentary time is associated with increased mortality risk. Previous studies indicate that replacement of light- and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity attenuates the risk for adverse outcomes improves cardiovascular factors. Patients disease are more compared to general population, while daily spent remains following contemporary cardiac rehabilitation programmes. This clinical trial investigated effectiveness a behaviour intervention as personalised secondary...

High sedentary times (ST) is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting the need for behavioural change interventions that effectively reduce ST. We examined immediate and medium-term effect of SIT LESS intervention on changes ST among CAD enrolled cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Sedentary time (ST) can be reduced in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) during cardiac rehabilitation (CR), but most relapse to sedentarism within months. We examined the effectiveness of a 3-week remote booster intervention on ST changes CAD patients. who previously (2.0 [1.9-2.2] years) completed CR were included this randomized controlled trial (1:1, stratified for gender). All participants received usual care, whereas additionally behavioral change intervention. The primary...

Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) levels altered during the COVID-19 lockdown, but little is known whether these returned to pre-pandemic what factors are associated with changes in PA SB over time. Purpose In this study, we evaluated Moderate-to-Vigorous (MVPA) patients cardiovascular disease (CVD) before, after pandemic investigated which contributed not returning levels. Methods 1,028 Dutch CVD participated prospective cohort where assessed MVPA...

We assessed the cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP)-the minimal V̇E /V̇O 2 in a given minute of an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test-in patients with heart failure (HF) and aimed to determine 1) its association patient disease characteristics, 2) changes after exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program (CR), 3) clinical outcomes.We studied 277 HF (67 (58-74) yr, 30% female, 72% restricted ejection fraction) between 2009 2018. Patients participated 12- 24-wk CR program, COP was...

ABSTRACT Purpose Given the rising burden of heart failure (HF), stratification patients at increased risk for adverse events is critical. We aimed to compare predictive value various maximal and submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) variables in with HF. Methods A total 237 HF (66 (58–73) yr, 30% women, 70% reduced ejection fraction) completed a CPET had 5 yr follow-up. Baseline characteristics clinical outcomes (all-cause mortality, major cardiovascular events,...

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are more sedentary compared the general population, but contemporary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes do not specifically target behaviour (SB). We developed a 12-week, hybrid (centre-based+home-based) Sedentary IntervenTion as personaLisEd Secondary prevention Strategy (SIT LESS). The SIT LESS programme is tailored to needs of patients CAD, using evidence-based behavioural change methods and an activity tracker connected online dashboard...

PURPOSE: The cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP) is a novel, submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameter and defined as the minimal VE/VO2 in given minute of CPET. Lower values are associated with better ventilatory efficiency. We assessed COP patients heart failure aimed to determine 1) its association patient disease characteristics, 2) changes following an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program (CR), 3) adverse clinical outcomes. METHODS: was determined 277 HF (67...
