Utility of Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) in Assessing Quality of Life among Patients with Heart Failure Undergoing Exercise Training Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review. Diseases 2024; 12:64. [PMID: 38667522 PMCID: PMC11049255 DOI: 10.3390/diseases12040064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) in assessing quality of life improvements among patients with heart failure (HF) undergoing various forms of exercise training rehabilitation, including telemedicine and in-person modalities, across all stages of HF, irrespective of ejection fraction (EF) and clinical status. The aim was to collate evidence from studies employing the KCCQ as a measure of quality of life (QoL). A comprehensive search strategy was implemented across PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, including literature up until October 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies on patients diagnosed with HF undergoing exercise training rehabilitation assessed by KCCQ. Nine articles met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 3905 patients from various global locations and conducted between 2012 and 2022. Results indicated significant heterogeneity in exercise interventions and patient characteristics. Notably, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) showed a marked improvement in KCCQ scores (from 68.0 to 80.0) compared to moderate continuous training (MCT) and control groups, underscoring its potential for enhancing QoL. Additionally, a significant improvement in the 6-min walking test (6MWT) outcomes was observed, with an average increase of 106 m (95% CI: 60, 152) in one study, reflecting physical capacity enhancements. However, the difference in KCCQ scores between intervention and control groups was not statistically significant in several studies. In conclusion, the KCCQ's effectiveness is highlighted by its ability to detect clinically meaningful improvements in QoL across diverse exercise modalities, including HIIT and MCT, tailored to the specific needs of HF populations. The consistent correlation between KCCQ score improvements and enhanced physical outcomes, such as the 6MWT, supports its reliability in capturing the nuanced benefits of exercise interventions on patient well-being.

Effects of early mobilisation program on functional capacity, daily living activities, and N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide in patients hospitalised for acute heart failure. A randomised controlled trial. Hong Kong Physiother J 2023; 43:19-31. [PMID: 37584047 PMCID: PMC10423683 DOI: 10.1142/s1013702523500014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Patients hospitalised for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) show reduced functional capacity, limited activities of daily living (ADL), and elevated N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The management of these patients focuses mainly on medical therapy with little consideration for in-patient cardiac rehabilitation. There has been a growing interest in evaluating the efficacy of early mobilisation, as the core for in-hospital rehabilitation, in ADHF patients in the last decade; however, the randomised trials on this topic are few. Objective This randomised-controlled study, therefore, aimed to further test the hypothesis that early supervised mobilisation would have beneficial effects on functional capacity, ADL, and NT-proBNP in stabilised patients following ADHF. Methods This is a single-centered, randomised-controlled, parallel-group trial in which 30 patients hospitalised for ADHF were randomly assigned to two groups; the study group (age = 55 . 4 ± 5 . 46 years, n 1 = 15 ) and the control group (age = 55 . 73 ± 5 . 61 years, n 2 =15). Inclusion criteria were ADHF on top of chronic heart failure independent of etiology or ejection fraction, clinical/hemodynamic stability, age from 40 to 60 years old, and both genders. Exclusion criteria were cardiogenic shock, acute coronary ischemia, or significant arrhythmia. Both groups received the usual medical care, but only the study group received an early structured mobilisation protocol within 3 days of hospital admission till discharge. The outcome measures were the 6-min walk distance (6-MWD) and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) determined from the 6-min walk test at discharge, the Barthel index (BI), NT-proBNP, and the length of hospital stays (LOS). Results The study group showed significantly greater improvements compared to the controls in the 6-MWD (252 . 28 ± 92 . 32 versus 106 . 35 ± 56 . 36 m, P < 0 . 001 ), the RPE (12 . 53 ± 0 . 91 versus 15 . 4 ± 1 . 63 , P < 0 . 001 ), and the LOS (10 . 42 ± 4 . 23 versus 16 . 85 ± 6 . 87 days, p = 0 . 009 ) at discharge. Also, the study group showed significant improvements in the BI compared to baseline [100 (100-100) versus 41.87 (35-55), p = 0 . 009 ] and the controls [100 (100-100) versus 92.5(85-95), p = 0 . 006 ]. The mean value of NT-proBNP showed a significant reduction only compared to baseline (786 . 28 ± 269 . 5 versus 1069 . 03 ± 528 . 87 pg/mL, p = 0 . 04 ) following the intervention. The absolute mean change (Δ ) of NT-proBNP showed an observed difference between groups in favor of the study group (i.e., Δ = ↓ 282 . 75 ± 494 . 13 pg/mL in the study group versus ↓ 26 . 42 ± 222 . 21 pg/mL in the control group, p = 0 . 077 ). Conclusion Early structured mobilisation under the supervision of a physiotherapist could be strongly suggested in combination with the usual medical care to help improve the functional capacity and daily living activities, reduce NT-proBNP levels, and shorten the hospital stay in stabilised patients following ADHF.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) are common in clinic, and they often coexist, triggering poor prognosis of patients and increasing hospitalization rates and mortality. Due to some common pathophysiological mechanisms between T2DM and HF, the two have synergistic effects and require collaborative management . In terms of the treatment of T2DM combined with HF, the effects of drugs on both diseases need to be considered to prevent the impact of HF drugs on glycometabolism. As an SGLT2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin can excrete glucose through the kidneys, reduce blood volume, decrease cardiac load to some extent, improve HF symptoms, and better control blood glucose . Therefore, this study selected 60 HF patients complicated with T2DM as the research subjects, and divided them into control group (CLG, conventional medical treatment) and observation group (ONG, dapagliflozin treatment) to explore the effects of dapagliflozin through comparative analysis. According to the results, compared with CLG, ONG had better improvement of blood glucose, cardiac function, and serum levels (P < 0.05), and a lower rehospitalization rate (P < 0.05), with no obvious between-group differences in the incidence of hypotension and emaciation (P > 0.05). These results showed that dapagliflozin in the treatment of T2DM with HF can improve blood glucose levels, cardiac function indexes and inflammatory factor levels, and decrease rehospitalization rates, presenting good clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Importance Frailty is common among older patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and is associated with worse quality of life (QOL) and a higher risk of clinical events. Frailty can also limit recovery and response to interventions. In the Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients (REHAB-HF) trial, a 3-month innovative, early, transitional, tailored, multidomain physical rehabilitation intervention improved physical function and QOL (vs usual care) in older patients with ADHF. Objective To evaluate whether baseline frailty modified the benefits of the physical rehabilitation intervention among patients with ADHF enrolled in the REHAB-HF trial and to assess the association between changes in frailty with the risk of adverse clinical outcomes on follow-up. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified secondary analysis of the REHAB-HF trial, a multicenter randomized clinical trial, included 337 patients 60 years and older hospitalized for ADHF. Patients were enrolled from September 17, 2014, through September 19, 2019. Participants were stratified across baseline frailty strata as assessed using modified Fried criteria. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to September 2022. Interventions Physical rehabilitation intervention or attention control. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score at 3 months. Clinical outcomes included all-cause hospitalization or mortality at 6 months. Results This prespecified secondary analysis included 337 participants; 181 (53.7%) were female, 167 (49.6%) were Black, and the mean (SD) age was 72 (8) years. A total of 192 (57.0%) were frail and 145 (43.0%) were prefrail at baseline. A significant interaction was observed between baseline frailty status and the treatment arm for the primary trial end point of overall SPPB score, with a 2.6-fold larger improvement in SPPB with intervention among frail patients (2.1; 95% CI, 1.3-2.9) vs prefrail patients (0.8; 95% CI, -0.1 to 1.6; P for interaction = .03). Trends consistently favored a larger intervention effect size, with significant improvement among frail vs prefrail participants for 6-minute walk distance, QOL, and the geriatric depression score, but interactions did not achieve significance. Conclusions and Relevance In this prespecified secondary analysis of the REHAB-HF trial, patients with ADHF with worse baseline frailty status had a more significant improvement in physical function in response to an innovative, early, transitional, tailored, multidomain physical rehabilitation intervention than those who were prefrail.

Obesity Status and Physical Rehabilitation in Older Patients Hospitalized With Acute HF: Insights From REHAB-HF. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2022; 10:918-927. [PMID: 36164731 PMCID: PMC10234458 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2022.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the REHAB-HF (Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients) trial, a novel, early, transitional, multidomain rehabilitation intervention improved physical function, frailty, quality of life (QOL), and depression in older patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), but the potential impact of baseline obesity on this intervention has not been studied. OBJECTIVES This study assessed for treatment interactions by body mass index (BMI) subgroups for a novel rehabilitation intervention in ADHF. METHODS Three-month outcomes including Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) (primary outcome), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) were assessed by baseline BMI (≥30 kg/m2 vs <30 kg/m2). Six-month end points included all-cause rehospitalization and death. All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, clinical site, and ejection fraction category, and 3-month outcomes were also adjusted for baseline measure. The prespecified significance level for treatment interaction by BMI category was P ≤ 0.10. RESULTS Of 349 trial participants, 204 (58%) had BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and 145 (42%) <30 kg/m2. Compared with patients with BMI <30 kg/m2, participants with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 were younger (age 71 ± 7 years vs 75 ± 9 years), more frequently women (57% vs 46%), and had significantly worse baseline physical function and QOL. Although interaction P values for 3-month outcomes by BMI were not significant (interaction P > 0.15 for overall measures), adjusted SPPB effect sizes were nominally larger for participants with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 compared with those with BMI <30 kg/m2: +1.7 (95% CI: 0.8-2.7) vs +1.1 (95% CI: -0.1 to 2.2). This difference in SPPB effect size was due largely to improvements in the balance component of the SPPB for participants with BMI ≥30 kg/m2: +0.6 (95% CI: 0.2-1.0) vs 0.0 (-0.6 to 0.5) for those with BMI <30 kg/m2 (interaction P = 0.02). In contrast, adjusted 6MWD and KCCQ effect sizes were smaller for participants with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 compared with those with BMI <30 kg/m2: +21 meters (-17 to 59) vs +53 meters (6-100), and +5.0 (-4 to 14) vs +11 (-0.5 to 22), respectively. There was no significant interaction by BMI for 6-month clinical outcomes (all interaction P > 0.30). CONCLUSIONS Older patients with ADHF benefit from the rehabilitation therapy regardless of BMI. Benefits for patients with obesity may be more evident in the multidomain measure of physical function (SPPB), compared with the 6MWD or KCCQ, which may be driven, in part, by the unique aspects of the novel rehabilitation intervention.

Association between SGLT2 Inhibitors and Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195956.

Abstract
The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with decreased skeletal muscle mass but remains unclear in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) undergoing comprehensive outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Therefore, this study investigates the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on the outcomes of patients with CVD and T2DM undergoing comprehensive outpatient CR. The study included 402 patients with CVD and T2DM who participated in comprehensive outpatient CR. Physical functions (grip strength, maximal quadriceps isometric strength, usual gait speed, and 6-minute walking distance) were measured at discharge as baseline and 5 months thereafter, and the association between physical functions and SGLT2 inhibitor use was reviewed. Physical functions improved regardless of SGLT2 inhibitor use. Multiple regression analysis showed that SGLT2 inhibitor use was not associated with improvement or decline in physical functions (p ≥ 0.05). The use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with CVD and T2DM undergoing outpatient CR did not impair improvement in physical functions.

Resistance Training in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Failure, and Valvular Heart Disease: A REVIEW WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON OLD AGE, FRAILTY, AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. J Cardiopulm Rehabil Prev 2022; 42:304-315.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current guidelines recommend individually adapted resistance training (RT) as a part of the exercise regime in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this review was to provide insights into current knowledge and understanding of how useful, feasible, safe, and effective RT is in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), and valvular heart disease (VHD), with particular emphasis on the role of RT in elderly and/or frail patients. REVIEW METHODS A review based on an intensive literature search: systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in 2010 or later; recent studies not integrated into meta-analyses or systematic reviews; additional manual searches. SUMMARY The results highlight the evaluation of effects and safety of RT in patients with CAD and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in numerous meta-analyses. In contrast, few studies have focused on RT in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or VHD. Furthermore, few studies have addressed the feasibility and impact of RT in elderly cardiac patients, and data on the efficacy and safety of RT in frail elderly patients are limited. The review results underscore the high prevalence of age-related sarcopenia, disease-related skeletal muscle deconditioning, physical limitations, and frailty in older patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). They underline the need for individually tailored exercise concepts, including RT, aimed at improving functional status, mobility, physical performance and muscle strength in older patients. Furthermore, the importance of the use of assessment tools to diagnose frailty, mobility/functional capacity, and physical performance in the elderly admitted to cardiac rehabilitation is emphasized.
