Article Abstract
Objective: To derive and evaluate an alternative equation to estimate maximal heart rate in persons with Parkinson disease (PD) in the absence of structured exercise testing using observed maximal heart rate data from a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and basic demographic and clinical data.
Design: Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Academic Medical Center.
Participants: Eighty-two persons with mild-to-moderate PD who completed a CPET.
Interventions: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures: A linear regression model was fit to maximal heart rate from CPET using the relaxed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) and 7 readily clinically accessible candidate covariables. Model fit was assessed by leave-one-out cross-validation. Maximal heart rates from the CPET were compared with estimates from the regression model and from 2 traditional age-based maximal heart rate estimators: (220 - age) and [208 - (0.7 × age)].
Results: The regression-based heart rate estimator was [166 - (1.15 × age) + (0.60 × resting heart rate)] and most closely fit the observed maximal heart rate from the CPET. The (220 - age) and [208 - (0.7 × age)] equations overestimated maximal heart rate for 88% and 94% of the participants, respectively. The mean square error of the regression-based estimator was 63% and 75% lower than those of the 2 traditional age-based estimators, respectively.
Conclusions: Overestimating maximal heart rate generates prescribed target heart rate zones that are likely unachievable during aerobic exercise. The proposed regression-based maximal heart rate estimator most closely fit observed maximal heart rates from the CPET. Adoption of this estimator, based on both age and resting heart rate, may improve estimated maximal heart rate accuracy and thus provide more appropriate and achievable exercise heart rate zones for persons with PD in the absence of a CPET.

Mitral regurgitation is the most common valve disease worldwide. Despite its wide success in inoperable or high-risk surgical patients, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair remains limited by some anatomic features and the not negligible rate of significant residual regurgitation. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement has emerged as a viable alternative that promises to overcome these issues, but its development has been progressing slowly.

Introduction: People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases are advised to do aerobic exercise for symptom relief and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Continuous exercise at an intensity causing a rate of perceived exertion of 15, on a 6-20-point Borg scale, exemplifies such exercise. Also, the instruction "Now you need to increase your heart rate" is used before aerobic exercise.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with well-defined management strategies; however, the presence of a clot-in-transit (CIT)-a mobile thrombus within the right heart-introduces a uniquely high-risk scenario associated with a significantly elevated mortality rate. While several therapeutic approaches are available-including anticoagulation, systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy, and catheter-directed therapies-there is no established consensus on a superior treatment modality. Catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as a promising, minimally invasive alternative that mitigates the bleeding risks of systemic thrombolysis and the invasiveness of surgery.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.
Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.
