Calculation of Oxygen Uptake during Ambulatory Cardiac Rehabilitation.

: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is not used routinely. The goal of this study was to determine whether accurate estimates of VO values can be made at the beginning and at the end of a rehabilitation program. : A total of 91 cardiac rehabilitation patients were included.

The Impact of Medical Face Masks and Rehabilitation Duration on the Performance Output and Outcomes of Cardiologic Rehabilitants.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a medical face mask became mandatory in daily life and also in cardiological rehabilitation. In order to investigate whether the performance and outcomes of cardiological rehabilitation were affected by face masks, we compared data from patients who underwent rehabilitation with face masks with data from patients without face masks. In total, 114 patients from an ambulant rehabilitation center were included.

Endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis related miRNA-expression in patients with haemophilia.

Introduction: Elevated markers of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation indicate worse endothelial function in the aging haemophilia population. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Several miRNAs have been shown to be involved in the process of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis.
