Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the radiation dose reduction potential of a heart rate-independent dual-focused scan method for CT imaging in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), comparing it to traditional heart rate-dependent scans.
- It involved 1,252 pediatric CT exams, using propensity score matching to control for age and sex while analyzing CT radiation dose, image noise, and quality metrics.
- Results showed that dual-focused and single-extended scans had higher radiation doses compared to single-focused scans, but achieved similar image quality, with the dual-focused option being more effective at lower heart rates.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is crucial for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but many struggle to participate due to accessibility issues; home-based CR (HBCR) offers a promising alternative.
- A study surveyed 189 patients with heart issues, revealing that only 26.5% engaged in adequate exercise, with a preference for individual or family workouts, particularly walking and resistance exercises done at home or outside.
- Major barriers to exercise included fatigue, poor health self-perception, and low fitness levels, highlighting the need for personalized HBCR programs that accommodate individual preferences and challenges.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how preoperative cardiac CT can aid in treatment planning for neonates with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS).
- CT was used to evaluate the presence of ventriculocoronary arterial connections and to compare cardiac volumetric parameters with echocardiographic findings in 12 neonates.
- Results showed a significant correlation between CT measurements and echocardiographic data, indicating that CT can provide valuable information in determining surgical options, particularly in complex cases.
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the participation and completion rates for hospital-based CR are low, and home-based CR has been suggested as an alternative. This study aimed to develop a home-based CR program and assess the feasibility of the program over a 6-week period in patients with left ventricular dysfunction or a history of myocardial infarction.

This study aimed to examine domain- and intensity-specific physical activity in individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD) and compare them with non-CHD individuals. Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2014 to 2019 were analyzed, including 1083 CHD patients and 38,532 non-CHD individuals.

We aimed to investigate whether the RHR is associated with the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in a large Korean national dataset.
Methods And Results: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2008 to 2018 were used.
South Korea has developed its first Para Report Card on physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents with disabilities. Five national surveillance databases were used to evaluate PA indicators based on the benchmarks and grading rubric provided by Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance. Report card evaluation committees were invited to grade and assess the results using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis.
