Predictors of Clinical Anxiety Aggravation at the End of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

Background: Anxiety is one of the most primary and common reactions to a cardiac event can lead to hypertension, tachycardia, and high cardiac output.

Objectives: To investigate the predictors of clinical anxiety aggravation at the end of a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study used a database of a CR ward of a hospital in Iran.

Changes in risk factors and exercise capacity after cardiac rehabilitation and its effect on hospital readmission.

Background: Despite the positive outcomes reported with cardiac rehabilitation (CR), its impacts have been reported to be different from a region or country to another, which may be due to the different contents of rehabilitation programs.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of CR on cardiovascular risk factors.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study on the data from Imam Ali Cardiac Rehabilitation Center in Kermanshah province, Iran from 2001 to 2008.

Does the effect of supervised cardiac rehabilitation programs on body fat distribution remained long time?

Introduction: An increased accumulation of fat in the intra-abdominal cavity is highly correlated with adverse coronary risk profiles. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) produces a host of health benefits related to modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Further research is needed to define better program for weight loss and risk improvement in coronary patients.
