Heart rate recovery after 1 min of exercise cessation (HRR-1) is an important prognostic factor in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to further elucidate the association between HRR-1 and known psychosocial risk factors in patients referred for comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation. We examined 521 patients with coronary heart disease in the first week of an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and positive (PA) and negative affect were rated with the Global Mood Scale. Depressive symptoms showed a significant inverse relationship with HRR-1 (p < .05), controlling for sociodemographic and medical covariates, whereas anxiety symptoms did not show a significant association. PA made a significant contribution to HRR-1 as well (p < .05). Our findings suggest an independent association between HRR-1 and psychosocial risk factors of CVD.

Outcome of Down patients with repaired versus unrepaired atrioventricular septal defect.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis
June 2023
Faculty of Medicine, Catholic University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background And Aims: Patients with Down Syndrome (DS) are frequently born with an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). Surgical repair of the defect aims to minimize mortality and morbidity. However, a surgical intervention, specifically in DS patients, is not without risk and a subgroup of patients underwent only conservative non-surgical treatment.

Background: Timely diagnosis of heart failure (HF) in patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) is difficult but important since clinical deterioration is fast once HF develops. We aimed to compare echocardiography and biomarker profile between sRV patients with and without HF and patients with a systemic left ventricle diagnosed with HF (sLV-HF).
Methods And Results: Eighty-seven sRV patients and 30 sLV-HF patients underwent echocardiographic evaluation and blood sampling.

Department of Cardiology, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Sports are associated with numerous physiological and psychological benefits. However, it is unclear to what extent adults with congenital heart disease(CHD) participate in sports and whether this is safe. Furthermore, little is known about lifestyle habits in this group.

With the advent of wearables, smartwatches equipped with photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensors are an ideal approach for continuous monitoring of pAF. There have been numerous studies demonstrating successful capture of pAF events, especially using deep learning.
