Abstract
BACKGROUND Early cardiac rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study sought to determine the effect of a program of sitting Baduanjin exercises on early cardiac rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of sitting Baduanjin exercises on cardiovascular and psychosocial functions in patients with STEMI following PCI. METHODS This quasi-experimental study employed a randomized, non-equivalent group design. Patients in the intervention group received daily sitting Baduanjin training in addition to a series of seven-step rehabilitation exercises, whereas those in the control group received only the seven-step rehabilitation training, twice daily. Differences in heart rate variability (HRV) indicators, exercise capacity (Six-Minute Walking Distance; 6-MWD), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7; GAD-7), and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PHQ-9) between the two study groups during hospitalization were analyzed. RESULTS Patients in the intervention group exhibited lower rates of abnormalities in the time domain and frequency domain parameters of HRV. The median scores of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 in both groups were lower than those at the time of admission, with the intervention group exhibiting lower scores than the control group (P < 0.001; P < 0.001, respectively). The 6-MWD after the intervention was greater in the intervention group compared to the control group (P = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS We found that sitting Baduanjin training has the potential to enhance HRV, cardiac function, and psychological well-being in patients with STEMI after PCI. This intervention can potentially improve the exercise capacity of a patient before discharge.

Abstract
Psychosocial factors play a significant role in the incidence and prognosis of cardiovascular disease with a rapidly increasing body of knowledge, as acknowledged by their inclusion in the European Society of Cardiology cardiovascular prevention guideline since 2012. Nevertheless, psychosocial risk is not consistently assessed, acknowledged and treated in daily clinical practice. Therefore, adopting a multidimensional approach that encompasses biological, psychological, and social factors is crucial for understanding the dynamic nature of cardiovascular health and disease, delivering patient-centred care, and developing effective interventions to ultimately enhance health and satisfaction with contemporary medicine and care. The current review summarises the state-of-the-art evidence for screening and treating psychological risk factors in coronary heart disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation in the context of cardiac rehabilitation, along with accompanying recommendations. The limited adoption of routine screening, despite longstanding recommendations, highlights the importance of prioritising the implementation and expansion of routine screening in primary and secondary prevention. To advance psychosocial treatment, a standardised and personalised approach including comprehensive education, physical exercise, and psychosocial support with a focus on patient-reported outcomes is crucial. Treating heart and mind together has the potential to decrease psychosocial risk while enhancing the prognosis and quality of life, therefore delivering true patient-centred care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) have higher rates of cardiovascular events, yet are less likely to engage in secondary prevention such as cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Given the low number of lower-SES patients entering CR, characterization of this population has been difficult. Our CR program specifically increased recruitment of lower-SES patients, allowing for careful comparison of medical, psychosocial, and behavioral risk factors between lower- and higher-SES patients eligible for secondary prevention. METHODS Demographic and clinical characteristics were prospectively gathered on consecutive individuals entering phase 2 CR from January 2014 to December 2022. Patients were classified as lower SES if they had Medicaid insurance. Statistical methods included chi-square and nonpaired t tests. A P value of <.01 was used to determine significance. RESULTS The entire cohort consisted of 3131 individuals. Compared with higher-SES patients, lower-SES individuals (n = 405; 13%) were a decade younger (57.1 ± 10.4 vs 67.2 ± 11.2 yr), 5.8 times more likely to be current smokers (29 vs 5%), 1.7 times more likely to have elevated depressive symptoms, and significantly higher body mass index, waist circumference, and glycated hemoglobin A 1c , with more abnormal lipid profiles (all P s < .001). Despite being a decade younger, lower-SES patients had lower measures of cardiorespiratory fitness and self-reported physical function (both P s < .001). CONCLUSION Lower-SES patients have a remarkably prominent high-risk cardiovascular disease profile, resulting in a substantially higher risk for a recurrent coronary event than higher-SES patients. Accordingly, efforts must be made to engage this high-risk population in CR. It is incumbent on CR programs to ensure that they are appropriately equipped to intervene on modifiable risk factors such as low cardiorespiratory fitness, obesity, depression, and smoking.

Abstract
AIMS To test whether usual outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) supplemented by a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention may reduce anxiety and depression compared with usual CR. METHODS AND RESULTS In this multicentre randomized controlled trial, 147 cardiac patients (67% men, mean age 54 years, 92% with coronary artery disease) with psychological distress defined as a hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) anxiety or depression score ≥8 were randomized to five sessions of group CBT plus usual CR (intervention, n = 74) or CR alone (control, n = 73). Patients with severe distress or a psychiatric diagnosis were excluded. The intervention was delivered by cardiac nurses with CBT training and supervised by a psychologist. A reference, non-randomized group (background, n = 41) of consecutive patients without psychological distress receiving usual CR was included to explore the effect of time on HADS score. The primary outcome, total HADS score after 3 months, improved more in the intervention than in the control group [the mean total HADS score improved by 8.0 (standard deviation 5.6) vs. 4.1 (standard deviation 7.8), P < 0.001]. Significant between-group differences were maintained after 6 months. Compared with the control group, the intervention group also had greater adherence to CR (P = 0.003), more improvement in the heart-related quality of life (HeartQoL) at 6 months (P < 0.01), and a significant reduction in cardiac readmissions at 12 months (P < 0.01). The background group had no significant change in HADS score over time. CONCLUSION Brief CBT provided by cardiac nurses in relation to CR reduced anxiety and depression scores, improved HeartQoL and adherence to CR, and reduced cardiovascular readmissions. The programme is simple and may be implemented by CR nurses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiac rehabilitation is a prescribed exercise intervention that reduces cardiovascular mortality, secondary events, and hospitalizations. Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) is an alternative method that overcomes barriers to participation, such as travel distance and transportation issues. To date, comparisons of HBCR and traditional cardiac rehabilitation (TCR) are limited to randomized controlled trials, which may influence outcomes due to supervision associated with clinical research. Coincidental to the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated HBCR effectiveness (peak metabolic equivalents [peak METs]), resting heart rate (RHR), resting systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), and depression outcomes (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9]). METHODS Via retrospective analysis, TCR and HBCR were examined during the COVID-19 pandemic (October 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022). Key dependent variables were quantified at baseline (pre) and discharge (post). Completion was determined by participation in 18 monitored TCR exercise sessions and four monitored HBCR exercise sessions. RESULTS Peak METs increased at post-TCR and HBCR (P < .001); however, TCR resulted in greater improvements (P = .034). The PHQ-9 scores were decreased in all groups (P < .001), while post-SBP and BMI did not improve (SBP: P = .185, BMI: P = .355). Post-DBP and RHR increased (DBP: P = .003, RHR: P = .032), although associations between intervention and program completion were not observed (P = .172). CONCLUSIONS Peak METs and depression metric outcomes (PHQ-9) improved with TCR and HBCR. Improvements in exercise capacity were greater with TCR; however, HBCR did not produce inferior results by comparison, an outcome that may have been essential during the first 18 mo of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
This analytical, cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship between depressive symptoms, appetite, and quality of life (QoL) in 86 patients hospitalized with heart failure. Patients were assessed for depressive symptoms, appetite, and QoL using the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire, and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, respectively. Relationships between sociodemographic and clinical variables, depressive symptoms, appetite, and QoL were analyzed using bivariate tests and linear regression models, with p < .05 considered significant. The factors associated with QoL were dependence for four activities of daily living (ADLs) (estimate = 15.4, 95% CI = 0.23 to 30.64, p = .046), minor depressive symptoms (estimate = –20.0, 95% CI = –28.3 to −11.73, p < .001), and appetite (estimate = –11.08, 95% CI = –20.5 to −1.62, p = .022). These results can support multi-professional assessment and development of interventions to promote better QoL, including addressing impaired appetite and food intake, the presence or increased intensity of depressive symptoms, especially in patients dependent for ADLs.

Abstract
People with severe mental illness, consisting of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, have a high burden of modifiable cardiovascular risk behaviors and conditions and have a cardiovascular mortality rate twice that of the general population. People with acute and chronic cardiovascular disease are at a higher risk of developing mental health symptoms and disease. There is emerging evidence for shared etiological factors between severe mental illness and cardiovascular disease that includes biological, genetic, and behavioral mechanisms. This state-of-the art review will describe the relationship between severe mental illness and cardiovascular disease, explore the factors that lead to poor cardiovascular outcomes in people with severe mental illness, propose strategies to improve the cardiovascular health of people with severe mental illness, and present areas for future research focus.

Abstract
Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive disease management program that utilizes exercise training, behavioral modification, education, and psychosocial counseling to optimize outcomes and functionality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD)1). While CR was initially designed as an exercise training and fitness program for younger patients, usually men, after debilitating hospitalizations for myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery, evidence has expanded to also include other types of CVD in women as well as men, including heart failure, valvular disease, and peripheral arterial disease2-4). As the population of older adults continues to expand, age-related CVD is endemic and is commonly associated with exercise decline, diminished quality of life, and dependence. CR has the potential to counterbalance these patterns, and therefore stands out as a particularly important consideration for older adults with CVD. Nevertheless, CR remains highly underutilized5,6). Novel approaches to CR including home-based and hybrid CR programs show promise for enhanced outreach to patients who may not otherwise participate. This review summarizes the current data available regarding CR in older adults with CVD with a focus on geriatric-specific complexities, current barriers to utilization, and approaches to enhance participation and effectiveness.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate sex and age differences in anxiety and depression among patients with cardiovascular disease at baseline and following aerobic interval training (AIT)-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and secondarily to compare dropout rates between sexes and age groups. METHODS Participants were younger (≤44 yr), middle-aged (45-64 yr), and older adults (≥65 yr). The AIT protocol consisted of: 4 × 4-min of high-intensity work periods at 85-95% peak heart rate (HR) interspersed with 3 min of lower-intensity intervals at 60-70% peak HR, twice weekly for 10 wk. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline and following CR. RESULTS At baseline, of 164 participants (32% female), 14 (35% female) were younger, 110 (33% female) were middle-aged, and 40 (30% female) were older. Older adults reported lower anxiety levels versus younger (4.4 ± 2.6 vs 7.8 ± 3.4 points, P = .008) and middle-aged adults (4.4 ± 2.6 vs 6.1 ± 3.6 points, P = .05). Baseline depression levels did not differ between age groups (P = .749). All age groups experienced a reduction in anxiety (younger =-2.67; middle-aged =-1.40; older =-0.85) and depression (younger =-1.50; middle-aged =-0.83; older =-0.70) levels following CR. Differences in dropout rates were observed between age groups (χ2[1] = 13.4, P = .001). Within each age group, 43% (female n = 2, male n = 4) of younger, 10% (female n = 8, male n = 3) of middle-aged, and 2.5% (female n = 0, male n = 1) of older participants dropped out. CONCLUSIONS Younger and middle-aged adults experience higher levels of anxiety upon entry into CR compared with older adults. Cardiac rehabilitation was associated with significant reductions in anxiety and depression severity, yet dropout rates were highest among younger adults.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of mortality worldwide. They are frequently the reasons for patient hospitalization, their incapability for work, and disability. These diseases represent a significant socio-economic burden affecting the medical system as well as patients and their families. It has been demonstrated that the etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases is significantly affected by lifestyle, and so modification of the latter is an essential component of both primary and secondary prevention. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) represents an efficient secondary prevention model that is especially based on the positive effect of regular physical activity. This review presents an overview of basic information on CR with a focus on current trends, such as the issue of the various training modalities, utilization, and barriers to it or the use of telemedicine technologies. Appropriate attention should be devoted to these domains, as CR continues evolving as an effective and readily available intervention in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients ≥80 yr are not frequently referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). This study aimed to describe the benefit of CR in the very elderly population in comparison with patients ≤65 and 66-79 yr in terms of gain in functional status and improvement of mood disorders. METHODS We conducted a prospective, cohort, single-center study. Physical performance was evaluated with a 6-min walk test (6MWT). Anxiety, depression, and overall psychological distress were evaluated with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores. Primary outcomes were the percent improvement in the predicted distance and the reduction in the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and overall psychological distress. RESULTS There were 45 (9%) patients ≥80 yr among 499 participants. There were no significant differences in the percent improvement of the predicted distance in the 6MWT among age groups, being +15 (7, 25)%, +15 (7, 25)%, and +10 (4, 26)% for ≤65, 66-79, and ≥80-yr groups, respectively (P = .11). The elderly group had a higher prevalence of depression, anxiety, and overall psychological distress (72%, 51%, and 38%, respectively).
