Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation based on wearable electrocardiogram or heart rate monitoring devices in patients with heart disease.
Methods: We searched eight electronic databases under the guidance of Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA recommendations.
Results: The meta-analysis included data from 14 articles (15 RCTs) representing 1314 participants. A significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction [MD = 2.12, 95 % CI (1.21, 3.04), P < 0.001], 6-minute walk distance [MD = 40.00, 95 % CI (21.72, 58.29), P < 0.001] and peak oxygen intake [MD = 2.24, 95 % CI (1.38, 3.10), P < 0.001] were observed in the home-based cardiac telerehabilitation group. But it had no difference in anxiety [SMD = -0.83, 95 % CI (-1.65, -0.02), P = 0.05] and depression [SMD = -0.59, 95 % CI (-1.26, 0.09), P = 0.09]. Subgroup analyses revealed that interventions of no less than 3 months improved anxiety [SMD = -1.11, 95 % CI (-2.05, -0.18), P = 0.02] and depression [SMD = -1.01, 95 % CI (-1.93, -0.08), P = 0.03].
Conclusion: Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation based on wearable electrocardiogram or heart rate monitoring devices has a positive effect on cardiac function. Long-term (≥ 3 months) cardiac rehabilitation might benefit individuals suffering from anxiety or depression.

A Qualitative Study of Barriers and Facilitators to the Uptake of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Octogenarians.

Despite an established evidence-base for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improving functional outcomes and quality of life and reducing re-hospitalisation, there is limited research on CR for older cardiac patients, who require rehabilitation the most, as they are often very deconditioned due to aortic stenosis (AS). CR uptake in the UK is limited to 52% with national variability of provision and accessibility, and it is a national priority to increase uptake to 85%. Frequently, research has excluded older populations as they are deemed to be too frail or generally not suitable for inclusion.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) typically presents with asymptomatic, early-stage disease that is monitored until disease progression ('treatment-naïve' CLL). The objective of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility and preliminary safety of an exercise program in treatment-naïve CLL. We also sought to preliminarily assess the impact of the exercise program on disease activity, as it has been proposed that exercise training may reduce disease outgrowth in treatment-naïve CLL.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem of pandemic proportions. In-laboratory OSA diagnosis and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration are insufficient, considering the number of patients affected. Finding alternative ways to diagnose and treat OSA is mandatory, especially in this era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Background: Strong evidence supports the benefits of exercise following both cardiovascular disease and cancer diagnoses. However, less than one-third of Australians who are referred to exercise rehabilitation complete a program following a cardiac diagnosis. Technological advances make it increasingly possible to embed real-time supervision, tailored exercise prescription, behavior change, and social support into home-based programs.

Context: Heart failure has high, growing global prevalence, morbidity and mortality, and is a leading cause of death with serious health-related suffering in low- and middle-income countries. Person-centred care (PCC) is a critical component of high-quality healthcare and is particularly vital in the context of a serious illness such as heart failure. However, there are limited data exploring PCC in this population in low- and middle-income settings.
