Mashup Score: 6
JCRP was the first, and remains the only, professional journal dedicated to improving multidisciplinary clinical practice and expanding research evidence specific to both cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation. This includes exercise testing and prescription, behavioral medicine, and cardiopulmonary risk factor management. In 2007, JCRP expanded its scope to include primary prevention of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. JCRP publishes scientific and clinical peer-reviewed Original Investigations, Reviews, and Brief or Case Reports focused on the causes, prevention, and treatment of individuals with cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases in both a print and online-only format. Editorial features include Editorials, Invited Commentaries, Literature Updates, and Clinically-relevant Topical Updates. JCRP is the official Journal of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and the Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation.

rcise provided in a single counseling session by a health educator. Methods: One hundred forty patients with RH were randomly assigned to a 4-mo program of dietary counseling, behavioral weight management, and exercise (C-LIFE) or a single counseling session providing standardized education and physician advice (SEPA). Participants completed a battery of questionnaires to assess psychological functioning before and after the intervention. A global measure of psychological functioning was derived from the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Beck Depression Inventory-II, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Anger scale. Results: Participants in the C-LIFE intervention achieved greater improvements in psychological functioning compared with SEPA (C-LIFE: 58.9 [56.1, 61.8] vs SEPA: 66

Mashup Score: 3Pre-participation Withdrawal and Noncompletion of Cardiac... : Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention - 3 month(s) ago
The objective of this study was to compare CR pre-participation withdrawal and noncompletion between patients with PAD and concomitant PAD and CAD (PAD/CAD) versus matched and unmatched patients with CAD (uCAD). Methods: Consecutively referred patients between 2006-2017 with PAD (n = 271) and PAD/CAD (n = 610) were matched to CAD by age, sex, diabetes, smoking status, and referral year. The uCAD (n = 14 487) group was included for comparison. Reasons for withdrawal were ascertained by interview. Results: There were no significant differences in pre-participation withdrawal between PAD and matched CAD (46 vs 43%, P = .49), nor in noncompletion (22 vs 18%, P = .28). Results were similar for PAD/CAD and matched CAD (withdrawal: 36 vs 34%, P = .37) and (noncompletion: 25 vs 23%, P = .46). A smaller proportion of patients with uCAD withdrew (28%) than patients with PAD (P < .001) and PAD/CAD (P .40, both). There were no differences between P

k distance (6MWD). Whether it is possible to reduce or eliminate the learning effect by optimizing 6MWT instructions is not known. Methods: People with chronic respiratory disease referred to pulmonary rehabilitation undertook two 6MWT with random allocation to modified instructions (fast—walk as fast as possible; n = 46) or usual instructions (far—walk as far as possible; n = 49). The primary outcome was the learning effect, defined as the difference in the 6MWD between test one and test two. Subgroup analyses investigated whether effects varied in those who were naïve to the 6MWT or according to diagnosis (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, and bronchiectasis). Results: A learning effect was present in both groups, with a mean improvement in the 6MWD on the second test of 14 m in the fast (modified) group (95% CI, 6-22) and 11 m in the far (usual) group (95% CI, 4-19). There was no statistically or clinically significant difference between groups in the

Mashup Score: 3Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Patients Unwilling... : Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention - 3 month(s) ago
tively avoid CBCR has not been effectively investigated. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the HBCR program among patients unwilling to participate in CBCR. Methods: A randomized prospective study enrolled 45 participants to a 6-mo HBCR program and the remaining 24 were allocated to regular care. Both groups were digitally monitored for physical activity (PA) and self-reported outcomes. Change in peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), the primary study outcome, was measured by the cardiopulmonary exercise test, immediately before program start and 4 mo thereafter. Results: The study included 69 patients, 81% men, aged 55.9 ±12 yr, enrolled in a 6-mo HBCR program to follow a myocardial infarction (25.4%) or coronary interventions (41.3%), heart failure hospitalization (29%), or heart transplantation (10%). Weekly aerobic exercise totaled a median of 193.2 (110.2-251.5) min (129% of set exercise goal), of which 112 (70-150) min was in the heart rate zone recommended by the exe

fficult. Our CR program specifically increased recruitment of lower-SES patients, allowing for careful comparison of medical, psychosocial, and behavioral risk factors between lower- and higher-SES patients eligible for secondary prevention. Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics were prospectively gathered on consecutive individuals entering phase 2 CR from January 2014 to December 2022. Patients were classified as lower SES if they had Medicaid insurance. Statistical methods included chi-square and nonpaired t tests. A P value of <.01 was used to determine significance. Results: The entire cohort consisted of 3131 individuals. Compared with higher-SES patients, lower-SES individuals (n = 405; 13%) were a decade younger (57.1 ± 10.4 vs 67.2 ± 11.2 yr), 5.8 times more likely to be current smokers (29 vs 5%), 1.7 times more likely to have elevated depressive symptoms, and significantly higher body mass index, waist circumference, and glycated hemoglobin A1c, with more abnorma

as undertaken in accordance with the PRISMA and JBI guidelines. A systematic search was conducted in Medline, APA PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane database of systematic reviews, JBI evidence synthesis, Epistemonikos, and PROSPERO, searching for systematic reviews published from 1990 to current and was limited to the language source of English and Chinese. Outcomes of interest were health behaviors and modifiable CHD risk factors, psychosocial outcomes, and other secondary outcomes. Study quality was appraised using the JBI checklist for systematic reviews. A narrative analysis was conducted, and meta-analysis results were synthesized. Summary: From 1301 identified reviews, 13 systematic reviews (10 meta-analyses) comprised 132 primary studies conducted in 28 countries. All the included reviews have high quality, with scores ranging 73-100%. Findings to the health outcomes remained inconclusive, except solid evidence was found in the significant improvement in physica
