Cardiac telerehabilitation with long-term follow-up reduces GlycA and improves lipoprotein particle profile: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: A 10-month strategy of cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) improved outcomes over a standard centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR), as recently published. We hypothesised that prolonged telerehabilitation could also improve proinflammatory status and lipoprotein particle composition.

Methods: A randomised controlled trial compared a prolonged CTR program with CBCR in post-ACS patients.

A randomized controlled clinical trial of cardiac telerehabilitation with a prolonged mobile care monitoring strategy after an acute coronary syndrome.

Background: Center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) improves health outcomes but has some limitations. We designed and validated a telerehabilitation system to overcome these barriers.

Methods: We included 67 low-risk acute coronary syndrome patients in a randomized controlled trial allocated 1:1 to a 10-month cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) program or an 8-week CBCR program.

Pulsed infrared light therapy does not increase nitric oxide concentration in the blood of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study was to determine if NO blood concentrations increased acutely following an 8-week course of pulsed infrared light therapy (PILT) which could be linked to an improvement in peripheral protective sensation (PPS) in patients who have profound chronic diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A total of 22 subjects with the diagnosis of type 1 (N = 2) or type 2 (N = 20) diabetes participated in the study. PILT was administered to one foot chosen at random with the other foot serving as a within-subject control (no treatment).
