The purpose of this systematic review was to identify evidence pertaining to the effectiveness of behavioral weight loss interventions for overweight and obese cardiac rehabilitation participants. A database search of PUBMED, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PROSPERO yielded 10 eligible studies. Quantitative studies implementing behavioral weight loss interventions for overweight and obese adult cardiac rehabilitation participants were reviewed. Evidence supported the usefulness and effectiveness of behavioral weight loss interventions for overweight cardiac rehabilitation participants. With the limited number of studies and inclusion of quasi-experimental studies with comparative groups, it was not possible to determine the relative power of behavioral weight loss interventions across studies. In conclusion, behavioral weight loss interventions can be incorporated into cardiac rehabilitation or offered following cardiac rehabilitation to improve weight loss of overweight and obese cardiac rehabilitation participants. Findings reinforce national guidelines emphasizing the role of cardiac rehabilitation to address secondary cardiovascular disease risk factor modification, including integrating behavioral weight loss programs in cardiac rehabilitation, or referring overweight patients to weight management programs following completion of cardiac rehabilitation.

Background: Tai Chi is a low-impact form of exercise that involves a series of slow movements that flow together. Increased plasma homocysteine(Hcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and may be reduced by exercise. This study aimed to compare plasma Hcy levels and the risk of hyperhomocysteinemia in 1,176 adults with and without Tai Chi exercises.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a common therapy for many hematologic malignancies. While advances in transplant practice have improved cancer-specific outcomes, multiple and debilitating long term physical and psychologic effects remain. Patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) are often critically ill at initial diagnosis and with necessary sequential treatments become increasingly frail and deconditioned.

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is recognized as newly-acquired bilateral muscle weakness, which is a complication of critical illness in the ICU; however, there are no reports on the pathogenesis and early predictors of ICU-AW specifically associated with cardiogenic shock (CS). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of ICU-AW in patients with CS requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS). This study was a single-center, prospective, and observational study.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a crucial tool for assessing cardiorespiratory function, providing invaluable insights into individual physiological capacities. This review explores the clinical indications of CPET, its contraindications, as well as a comprehensive protocol for its execution. Additionally, it highlights key parameters measured during CPET and their interpretation, as well as the role of CPET in the prescription of aerobic training in cardiac rehabilitation.
