Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR), which integrates structured lifestyle interventions and medications, reduces morbidity mortality among patients. CCR has not typically been used with cerebrovascular populations, despite important commonalities heart We tested feasibility effectiveness of 6-month outpatient for secondary prevention after transient ischemic attack or mild, nondisabling stroke. This article presents risk factors. A future will discuss psychological...
Cardiac rehabilitation programs develop in accordance with guidelines, but also response to local needs and resources. This study evaluated features of Ontario cardiac emerging evidence treating underserved populations.In this cross-sectional study, all were mailed an investigator-generated survey. Responses received from 38 45 (84.4%) programs.Twenty-seven (71.1%) located within a hospital. Twenty-four (63.2%) reported that they offer two sessions exercise education per week. Twenty-six...
Purpose: Improving aerobic fitness through exercise training is recommended for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, strong justifications criteria assessing improvement in key parameters function including estimated lactate threshold (θ LT ), respiratory compensation point (RCP), and peak oxygen uptake (V˙ o 2peak ) at individual level are not established. We applied reliable change index (RCI) statistics to determine minimal meaningful (MMC RCI cutoffs θ , RCP, V˙...
Having previously reported that comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is effective for secondary prevention post-transient ischemic attack (TIA)/mild nondisabling stroke (MNDS), we present psychometric findings the same sample elucidate subacute TIA/MNDS psychological outcomes and test whether CCR would be independently associated with improvements.In this prospective cohort trial patients ≥1 risk factor, recruited from a clinic within 12 months (mean = 11.5 weeks) post-TIA/MNDS,...
Community-based hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs offer a viable alternative to conventional centre-based CR, however their long-term benefits are unknown. We conducted secondary analysis of the CR Participation Study in London, Ontario, between 2003 and 2006. eligible patients hospitalized for major event, who resided within 60 min, were referred program; 381 544 (64%) initiated CR; an additional 1,498 not due distance. For present study, participants matched using propensity...
It is still not known how patients who are post-transient ischemic attack (TIA) or post-stroke might benefit from prospectively planned comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR). In this pilot evaluation of a larger ongoing randomized-controlled-trial, we evaluated ultrasound (US) measurements carotid atherosclerosis in subjects following TIA mild non-disabling stroke and their relationship with risk factors before after 6-months CCR. Carotid one-dimensional intima-media-thickness (IMT),...

Mediated by outcomes such as improved exercise capacity, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces morbidity and mortality. For accuracy, an individual CR patient's change must be measured reliably, issue not typically considered in practice. Drawing from psychometric theory, we calculated reliable indices (RCIs), to measure patients' true clinical change, apart that error test practice/exposure, anxiety, depression. Indirectly capacity (peak metabolic equivalents [METs]) psychological symptoms...
To examine: (1) the rate of clinical events precluding cardiac rehabilitation (CR) continuation, (2) CR attendance by component in those without events, and (3) association between disease severity (eg, tobacco use, diabetes, depression) exercise, diet, stress management, cessation).Retrospective analysis electronic records program London, Ontario, from 1999 to 2017. Patients supervised are offered exercise sessions 2 times/wk with a minimum 48 prescribed tailored patient need. attending ≥1...
Book reviews 627 with ventilation or control of the reflex activity intercostal muscles.Altogether this is a stimulating and controversial book.It would be use to those versed in management spinal injures but not recommended person who has only occasional dealings high quadriplegic patients.I look forward second edition which these faults can remedied.
Background: Evidence suggests that HF patients do not consistently engage in self-care. One possible reason may be the presence of undetected mild cognitive deficits (MCD). The primary objective this study was to prospectively evaluate whether MCD measured with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test aged ≥60 years at hospital discharge is associated impaired ability self-care (measured Self-Care Heart Failure Index (SCHFI), patient considered adequate if score ≥70/100). Methods / Results:...
