Because many patients reduce exercise following outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), we developed an intervention to assist with the transition and evaluated its feasibility and preliminary efficacy using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Five CR patients were enrolled ~1 month prior to CR discharge and provided an activity tracker. Each week during CR they received a summary of their physical activity and steps. Following CR discharge, participants received an individualized report that included their physical activity and step history, information on specific features of the activity tracker, and encouraging messages from former CR patients for each of the next 6 weeks. Mixed model trajectory analyses were used to test the intervention effect separately for active minutes and steps modeling three study phases: pre-intervention (day activity tracking began to CR discharge), intervention (day following CR discharge to day when final report sent), and maintenance (day following the final report to ~1 month later). Activity tracking was successfully deployed and, with weekly reports following CR, may offset the usual decline in physical activity. When weekly reports ceased, a decline in steps/day occurred. A scaled-up intervention with a more rigorous study design with sufficient sample size can evaluate this approach further.

The book is the fruit of a collaborative effort by a dedicated team of cardiologists, whose specialities span the entire field of cardiology, and offers a practical approach to exercise prescription in cardiac rehabilitation in line with American and European guidelines, and inspired by local experience. It details the technical aspects of different modalities of exercise for a broad spectrum of cardiovascular conditions and patient groups, and provides strategies to overcome existing barriers to physical activity in the local population. Book describes the basics of rehabilitation, functional assessment, early mobilization, supervised and long term exercise protocols, cardiac rehabilitation in specific groups, and finally, special considerations for the Middle Eastern and Saudi Arabian populations. Primary audience: Professionals working or planning to work in the cardiac rehabilitation field (i.e. cardiologists, rehabilitation specialists, nurses, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and psychologists). Secondary audience: - Internal medicine specialists - Cardiothoracic surgeons - Medical students - Physiotherapy students - Cardiac nurses - Stress test technicians - Dietitians - Health educators The book can serve as textbook and for dedicated courses (cardiac rehabilitation course, cardiac rehabilitation fellowship).

Exercise Prescription for the High-Risk Cardiac Patient is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of exercise prescription for chronic heart failure and myocardial ischemia. Dr. Ray W. Squires, director of the Cardiovascular Health Clinic at the Mayo Clinic, reviews the disease processes, basic treatment, exercise physiology, and outpatient exercise rehabilitation of patients with chronic left ventricular dysfunction, myocardial ischemia, or both. Specific case examples are included to illustrate the practical aspects of assessment and formulation of rehabilitation plans. Exercise training provides critical benefits for most cardiac patients. Exercise Prescription for the High-Risk Cardiac Patient offers in-depth information to help high-risk patients see improvement in areas such as aerobic exercise capacity, symptoms, and morbidity and mortality. Exercise Prescription for the High-Risk Cardiac Patient is organized into five chapters: defining the high-risk patient, pathophysiology and treatment options, responses to acute exercise and exercise testing, benefits of exercise training, and suggestions for exercise programming. Complete with dozens of helpful figures and tables, this book is specifically designed for cardiac rehabilitation specialists--MDs, nurses, physical therapists, and exercise physiologists.

This book provides physiotherapists and exercise professionals with a comprehensive resource on the exercise components and skills of constructing and teaching CR exercise. It addresses the scope of knowledge and skills required by exercise specialists developing, delivering and teaching exercise based CR programmes. It has an evidence-based framework, and provides practical advice and suggestions based on the clinical experience of the contributing authors. Among the topics covered are assessment, exercise monitoring, the use of music, safety, teaching skills and maintaining physical activity. Thus the book provides a comprehensive and practical text that can be used to plan, develop and deliver all phases of exercise based CR. "...provides a virtual pharmacopoeia of exercise guidelines for patients with cardiovascular disease, with specific reference to exercise prescription, risk stratification, exercise physiology, monitoring techniques, and leadership and organizational skills. The authors represent a prestigious group of scientists, clinicians, researchers, and teachers, who are authorities in their respective fields. Clearly, the contributors have painstakingly worked to summarize, in a clear and concise manner, the latest research findings in each area, highlighting patient care and related applications. A "must-read" for clinicians in the field of cardiac rehabilitation. I highly recommend this extraordinary text !" —Barry A. Franklin, PhD, Director, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Laboratories, William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan USA; Professor of Physiology, Wayne State University, School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan

The book provides an intensive overview on exercise for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, from basic research to clinical practice. The volume firstly summarizes the acute and chronic response to exercise. Secondly, evidence for exercise as medicine for the heart based on clinical studies and basic research is summarized. Thirdly, molecular mechanisms mediating the beneficial effects of exercise including IGF-1-PI3K-AKT signalling, NO signalling, C/EBPB-Cited4 signalling, Non-coding RNAs, epigenetic regulators, mitochondria adaption and exosomes are presented. Finally, exercise dosing, prescription and future prospects are provided. This book will provide valuable reference for researchers in cell biology, physiology, as well as physician, physical therapist in cardiology, sport medicine, etc.
