Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how closely heart rate readings at the first ventilatory threshold (HR) match heart rate readings at the end of a 6-minute walk test (HR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are taking β-blockers.
- The research involved 17 stable CAD patients who underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test and a 6-minute walk test on different days, with data analyzed using various statistical methods to assess the agreement between HR measurements.
- Results showed a good correlation (r=0.84) between the two heart rate readings, indicating that the HR can be effectively used to guide exercise intensity in cardiac rehabilitation for these patients.

This article reports the rationale for the Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program (BALANCE Program) Trial. This pragmatic, multicenter, nationwide, randomized, concealed, controlled trial was designed to investigate the effects of the BALANCE Program in reducing cardiovascular events. The BALANCE Program consists of a prescribed diet guided by nutritional content recommendations from Brazilian national guidelines using a unique nutritional education strategy, which includes suggestions of affordable foods.

The use of pulsed fluoroscopy is thought to reduce such a risk because the radiation dose decreases for the same period of time. The aim of the present study was to compare the radiation exposure time during pulse and continuous radiofrequency catheter ablation.
