Objective. Although physical training has been associated with an increase in survival, its role in reducing Exercise-induced arrhythmias (EIA) in patients with heart disease has not yet been dilucidated. We aim to compare the effect of physical training on the occurrence of EIA in patients with heart disease. Methodology. We evaluated a retroprospective and self-controlled cohort of patients older than 18 years with heart disease who entered the cardiac rehabilitation program of the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez in México, during January 2005 to December 2016. In all patients, cardiovascular risk was stratified, including a cardiopulmonary exercise test, which was also performed at the end of the program. The occurrence of arrhythmias was evaluated before and after the training program. Results. 160 patients were analyzed, of which 126 (79%) were male. The proportion...

Objective. Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) programs based on telehealth are an alternative in the context of a pandemic and represent an opportunity to continue in the intervention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The present study aims to evaluate the effect of a Cardiac Tele-Rehabilitation (CTR) program on quality of life, anxiety/depression index, exercise safety and Level Of disease awareness in patients discharged from a national referral institute in times of pandemic. Methods. A pre-experimental study in cardiac patients who entered the cardiac rehabilitation program at INCOR from August to December 2020. The study included low-risk patients who were administered a questionnaire (on cardiovascular disease, exercise safety, anxiety/depression, and quality of life) at the beginning and end of the program, which was applied through a virtual platform. Descriptive and comparative before-...

Objetivo. Los programas de rehabilitación cardiaca (RC) basados en telesalud son una alternativa en el contexto de pandemia y representa una oportunidad para continuar en la intervención de las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV). El presente estudio pretende evaluar el efecto de un programa de telerrehabilitación cardiaca (TRC) en la calidad de vida, índice de ansiedad/depresión, seguridad del ejercicio y nivel de conocimiento de la enfermedad en pacientes dados de alta de un instituto de referencia nacional en tiempos de pandemia. Metodología. Estudio pre-experimental en pacientes cardiópatas que ingresaron al programa de rehabilitación cardíaca en el INCOR durante agosto a diciembre del 2020. Se incluyó pacientes de bajo riesgo en quienes se aplicó un cuestionario (sobre enfermedades cardiovasculares, seguridad del ejercicio, ansiedad/depresión y calidad de vida) al inicio...
