Introduction A number of randomized controlled trials have examined the effect of exercise training on left ventricle (LV) remodeling in individuals with cardiovascular disease. However, the results of these trials have been inconclusive.  Purpose Evaluation of the impact of a cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) on left ventricle remodelling evaluated by echocardiogram.  Methods Observational single centre study including consecutive patients, undergoing structured CRP since June 2016 until February 2020. Phase II CRP included 3 months of exercise training, aerobic and strength exercise, individually prescribed, 3 times a week, 60 minutes sessions. All patients were submitted to a clinical evaluation, echocardiogram, and cardiopulmonary exercise test before and after the CRP. Results 205 patients (62.6 ± 11 years, 83.4% men, 82.3% ischemic disease) were included in a phase II CRP. Most patients had ischemic disease (82.3%) and 23.5% of patients had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%. Of the cardiovascular risk factors, hypertension was the most prevalent (76%), followed by dyslipidaemia (67.4%), active smoking (45.9%) and diabetes (26.9%).  After the CRP, there was a significant improvement of LVEF (from 48.3 ± 13 to 52 ± 11.6 %, p = 0.001) and a significant reduction of LV volumes (LV end-diastolic volume, LVEDV , decreased from 140 ± 81 to 121 ± 57, p = 0.002; LV end-systolic volume , LVESV , reduced from 80 ± 75 to 64 ± 48, p = 0.004). Considering only the patients with LVEF < 40% (n = 38), the improvement was even greater: LVEF increased from 30 ± 8 to 39 ± 13 (p = 0.002); LVEDV reduced from 206 ± 107 to 159 ± 81 (p = 0.001) and LVESV reduced from 142 ± 99 to 101 ± 66 (p = 0.002). 63.6%(n = 14) of these patients improved at least 10% of LVEF and only 1 of them had a cardiac resynchronization therapy device.  Conclusions A phase II CR program was associated with significant improvements in left ventricular reverse remodelling irrespective of baseline EF classification. Those with reduced baseline EF derived an even greater improvement, highlighting the great importance of CR in this subgroup of patients.

Study Participants

This study investigated an alternative home-based cardiac telerehabilitation model in consideration of the recommendations for the COVID-19 quarantine of people diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD). We hypothesized that using a 200 m fast walking test (200 mFWT) and telerehabilitation would create an effective alternative cardiac rehabilitation (CR) intervention that could improve cardiorespiratory fitness. Participants (n = 19, mean age 60.4 ± 9.6) of the 8-week intervention performed regular physical exercise at the target heart rate zone determined by calculations based on the 200 mFWT results. In our study, the participants were supervised using telerehabilitation. A total of 84% of participants completed the 8-week intervention. No adverse events were reported during telerehabilitation. The study participants noted a significant improvement (p < 0.001) in cardiorespiratory fitness expressed by an 8% reduction in the walking test time (Δ 8.8 ± 5.9 s). Home-based telerehabilitation based on 200 mFWT effectively increased the cardiorespiratory fitness in people with CHD with a low to moderate cardiovascular risk. This was a novel approach in CR during the COVID-19 pandemic. As research in this area is justified, this paper may serve as an alternative method of providing healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and as a basis for further upcoming randomized controlled trials.
