Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed cardiac rehabilitation (CR) adherence and outcomes before and after COVID-19 regulations led to one-on-one sessions instead of group sessions.
- The results showed a significant increase in CR completion rates post-COVID-19, with 75% adherence compared to 21% pre-COVID-19, despite similar functional improvements in a six-minute walk test.
- The findings suggest that smaller group sizes may enhance adherence to CR, but they do not affect the functional outcomes for those who complete the program.
This study aimed to explore contemporary in-hospital outcomes and trends of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes in patients with baseline right bundle branch block (RBBB) using data collected from a nationwide sample. Using the National Inpatient Sample, we identified patients hospitalized for an index TAVI procedure from 2016 to 2019. Primary outcomes included in-hospital all-cause mortality, complete heart block, and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation.

Background: LVAD-DTs are implanted as permanent devices for end-stage HF patients with the goal of improving the length and quality of life. LVADs create new demands for both patients and caregivers.
