AI Article Synopsis
- Despite the proven benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for heart patients, many struggle to participate due to factors like busy schedules, costs, and the challenges of accessing in-person care.
- To address these issues, remote CR is gaining traction, utilizing wearable devices and apps for telemonitoring, allowing patients to receive care from home.
- While remote CR has shown promise in improving exercise tolerance, its long-term effects on reducing cardiac events and mortality are still debated, highlighting the need for careful patient assessments and quality assurance in remote care services.
Article Abstract
Although cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to improve exercise tolerance and prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases, there remains low participation in outpatient CR. This may be attributed to the patients' busy schedules and difficulty in visiting the hospital due to distance, cost, avoidance of exercise, and severity of coronary disease. To overcome these challenges, many countries are exploring the possibility of remote CR. Specifically, there is increasing attention on the development of remote CR devices, which allow transmission of vital information to the hospital via a remote CR application linked to a wearable device for telemonitoring by dedicated hospital staff. In addition, remote CR programs can support return to work after hospitalization. Previous studies have demonstrated the effects of remote CR on exercise tolerance. However, the preventive effects of remote CR on cardiac events and mortality remain controversial. Thus, safe and effective remote CR requires exercise risk stratification for each patient, telenursing by skilled staff, and multidisciplinary interventions. Therefore, quality assurance of telenursing and multi-disciplinary interventions will be essential for remote CR. Remote CR may become an important part of cardiac management in the future. However, issues such as cost-effectiveness and insurance coverage still persist.

This research was carried out to assess the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) in Edo State, Southern Nigeria, using remote sensing data. A secondary data collection method was used for the assessment, and the levels of CO and HCHO were extracted annually from Google Earth Engine using information from Sentinel-5-P satellite data (COPERNISCUS/S5P/NRTI/L3_) and processed using ArcMap, Google Earth Engine, and Microsoft Excel to determine the levels of CO and HCHO in the study area from 2018 to 2023. The geometry of the study location is highlighted, saved and run, and a raster imagery file of the study area is generated after the task has been completed with a 'projection and extent' in the Geographic Tagged Image File Format (.

Background: Our remote patient monitoring (RPM) program for adult cardiac surgery patients aims to remove barriers to access, provide continuity of expert care, and increase their time-at-home. The RPM program integrates novel biosensors, an application for audiovisual visits, messaging, biometric data tracking, patient-reported outcomes, and scheduling with the aim of reducing postoperative length of stay and 30-day readmissions, while simultaneously increasing the rate of patients discharged to home.
Methods: Our institutional database was utilized for this retrospective review of 1000 consecutive RPM patients who underwent coronary artery bypass, valve, and coronary artery bypass + valve, at 3 hospitals from July 2019 through April 2023.

"I see, I forget, I read aloud, I remember, and when I do read purposefully by writing it, I do not forget it." This phenomenon is known as "interoception" and refers to the sensing and interpretation of internal body signals, allowing the brain to communicate with various body systems. Dysfunction in interoception is associated with cardiovascular disorders.
