Background: Guidelines recommend cardiovascular risk reduction and supervised exercise therapy as the first line of treatment in intermittent claudication, but implementation challenges and poor patient compliance lead to significant variation in management and therefore outcomes. The development of a precise risk stratification tool is proposed through a machine-learning algorithm that aims to provide personalized outcome predictions for different management strategies.
Methods: Feature selection was performed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method.
Article Synopsis
- A study explored the feasibility of a 6-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program as an alternative to standard supervised exercise programs (SEPs) for patients with intermittent claudication (IC).
- Out of 280 screened patients, 40 were recruited, and 31 (78%) completed the HIIT program, indicating high adherence and no serious adverse events.
- Results showed improvements in maximum walking distance and physical health scores, suggesting that HIIT is a tolerable, potentially safe, and effective option for patients with IC, warranting further research.
Background: There is a lack of international consensus regarding the prescription of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for people with coronary artery disease (CAD) attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
Aims: To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of low-volume HIIT compared with moderate-intensity steady-state (MISS) exercise training for people with CAD.
Methods And Results: We conducted a multi-centre RCT, recruiting 382 patients from 6 outpatient CR centres.
Background: In the United Kingdom (UK), exercise intensity is prescribed from a fixed percentage range (% heart rate reserve (%HRR)) in cardiac rehabilitation programmes. We aimed to determine the accuracy of this approach by comparing it with an objective, threshold-based approach incorporating the accurate determination of ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT). We also aimed to investigate the role of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness status and exercise testing mode dependency (cycle .
