Background: Digital health technologies have been proposed as a potential solution to improving maternal cardiovascular (CV) health in the postpartum (PP) period. In this context we performed a systematic scoping review of digital health interventions designed to improve PP CV health.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library.
Importance: Among older adults with ischemic heart disease, participation in traditional ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains low. While mobile health CR (mHealth-CR) provides a novel opportunity to deliver care, age-specific impairments to technology use may limit uptake, and efficacy data are currently lacking.
Objective: To test whether mHealth-CR improves functional capacity in older adults.
Ensuring reliability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in clinical tasks is crucial. Our study assesses two state-of-the-art LLMs (ChatGPT and LlaMA-2) for extracting clinical information, focusing on cognitive tests like MMSE and CDR. Our data consisted of 135,307 clinical notes (Jan 12th, 2010 to May 24th, 2023) mentioning MMSE, CDR, or MoCA.

- Hypertension is a significant risk factor for ischemic heart disease in older adults, and effective home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is crucial for management, especially within mobile health cardiac rehabilitation (mHealth-CR).
- A study analyzed the engagement patterns of 111 older adults participating in mHealth-CR, revealing three distinct patterns of HBPM adherence: high engagement, gradual decline, and sustained baseline engagement.
- Results indicated that overall HBPM adherence was low, declining in two engagement groups, and only depression significantly influenced weekly monitoring adherence, suggesting a need to improve motivation and support for older adults in managing their blood pressure.
Background: Because of advances in medical treatment of heart failure, patients are living longer than in previous eras and may approach the need for advanced therapies, including heart transplantation, at older ages. This study assesses practices surrounding heart transplant in older adults (> 70 years) and examines short- and medium-term outcomes.
Methods And Results: This study is a retrospective analysis using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database from 2010 to 2021.
