Physical activity assessment by accelerometry in people with heart failure

TL;DR: H specific accelerometer intensity thresholds for inactivity and MVPA are lower than previously published thresholds based on healthy adults, due to lower resting metabolic rate and greater energy expenditure during daily living activities for HF patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for stable angina: systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It is found low-quality evidence that exercise-based CR results in a moderate improvement in exercise capacity, and well-designed randomised controlled trials are needed to definitely determine the impact of CR on outcomes including mortality, morbidity, HRQoL, and costs in the population of patients with stable angina receiving contemporary medical therapy.

Clinical trials versus the real world : the example of cardiac rehabilitation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the characteristics of patients and treatments offered in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in this area with those included in two large surveys of cardiac rehabilitation in the UK.
Journal ArticleDOI

Communicating the results of research: how do participants of a cardiac rehabilitation RCT prefer to be informed?
