Aim: This study aimed to establish general consensus on a systematic needs assessment model to determine eligibility for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) as part of secondary prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). Specific objectives included identifying relevant needs assessment criteria and establishing consensus on referral criteria.
Methods: A Delphi study was conducted following the ACCORD guidelines (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document) with participation of an international, multi-disciplinary expert panel including physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, across primary and secondary care as well as academic research.

Background: Heart transplant (HTx) in dystrophy patients has been shown to have a similar survival to cardiomyopathy from other causes, but postoperative rehabilitation remains an issue. This study aimed to review and analyze the reports in the literature to determine whether pre- and post-transplant functional status along with wheelchair dependence in dystrophy patients can influence post-HTx outcomes.
Research Design And Methods: Relevant databases were queried for all case reports and case series regarding HTx in patients with dystrophy-associated cardiomyopathy published in the literature.

Background And Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent complication after cardiac surgery, worsening patient outcomes. Considering the established role of Ca2+-handling abnormalities in AF pathogenesis, this study aimed to evaluate if integrating cytosolic Ca2+-handling measurements with clinical risk factors enhances the risk prediction of post-operative AF.
Methods: Clinical data from 558 patients undergoing cardiac surgery without pre-existing AF from two centres were analysed.

This study evaluates job maintenance status and predictors of young and middle-aged patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 221 young and middle-aged patients after PCI from November 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025 were selected. The job readiness of patients who have not returned to work and the job maintenance of patients who have returned to work were investigated.

Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRPs) are multifactorial interventions defined by the World Health Organization as essential strategies to improve patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by enhancing their physical, psychological, social, and occupational well-being. These programs are a cornerstone in the comprehensive treatment of heart disease, facilitating the recovery of functional capacity and reintegration into the workforce through a multidisciplinary approach. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of CRPs in enhancing functional capacity (cardiac and psychological) and HRQoL in workers with ischemic heart disease.
