AdultCardiovascular Disease
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death around the world. Aerobic capacity is inversely related to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The authors sought to determine if high intensity interval training (HIIT) is superior to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in people with cardiovascular disease. The authors conducted a meta-analysis […]

There were 36 subjects assessed in the article. Each subject had intermittent claudication and a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease. The subjects were not permitted if they had unstable cardiovascular disease, a recent cardiac event, an emergent specialist management, permanent atrial fibrillation, poorly controlled dysrhythmias, pregnancy, or intellectual developmental disorder. The trial was randomized and […]

Supervised exercise therapy provides significant relief in symptoms for people with intermittent claudication but is difficult to implement due to a lack of facilities and funding. Structured home- based exercise therapy (HBET) and walking advice (WA) are alternatives proposed to SET to solve this problem. The authors of the presently reviewed study sought to determine […]

AdultOTADLs/IADLsCardiovascular Disease
This cross-sectional study examined physical fitness, cognitive function, and driving simulation performance in 18 individuals with heart failure. Each participant completed a neuropsychological test battery (Mini- Mental State Examination, Trail Making Test Parts A and B, Digit Symbol Coding, Letter-Number Sequencing, and Grooved Pegboard dominant and nondominant hand) to assess global cognition, attention, executive function, […]

AdultOTCardiovascular Disease
Participants were recruited from three different inpatient cardiac units and were all hospitalized for either Myocardial Infarction or Unstable Angina. Participants completed an assessment of baseline health behavior adherence to medication, diet, and physical activity using relevant items from the Medical Outcomes Study Specific Adherence. Following these baseline measurements, each participant completed a semi-structured individual […]

AdultOTSLPBrain InjuryCardiovascular Disease
This study included nine patients who had a myocardial infarction complicated by a brief cardiac arrest (MI with CA), outside of the hospital, that required <7 minutes for initiation of CPR. The control group consisted of nine patients who had a myocardial infarction without a cardiac arrest. The patients participated in this study 5 months […]
