OBJECTIVE To use the ratio of early mitral inflow peak velocity (E) to mitral flow propagation velocity (FPV) measured in the early phase of myocardial infarction (early phase E/FPV) to evaluate the training effects of 8 weeks' cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in patients post-myocardial infarction. DESIGN Single-blinded, randomized control trial. PARTICIPANTS Eighty-seven patients with acute...

BACKGROUND Participation of patients with heart failure in cardiac rehabilitation in the UK is low. This study investigated the availability of cardiac rehabilitation services for patients with heart failure in the UK and the views of service coordinators on ideal service models. DESIGN Our study was a cross-sectional national postal survey that was mailed to 342 service coordinators in the U...

OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to determine factors independently associated with cardiac rehabilitation referral, which are currently not well described at a national level. BACKGROUND Substantial numbers of eligible patients are not referred to cardiac rehabilitation at hospital discharge despite proven reductions in mortality and national guideline recommendations. METHODS We used data from ...

BACKGROUND Exercise tolerance and cardiac output have a major impact on the quality of life (QOL) of patients experiencing heart failure (HF). Home-based cardiac rehabilitation can significantly improve not only exercise tolerance but also peak oxygen uptake ((Equation is included in full-text article.)peak), and the QOL in patients with HF. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the...

Most current Cardiac Rehabilitation procedures include counseling, to help the patient understand their disease more clearly and manage the disease process.
