Possibility of Cardio-renal Protection by Long-term Cardiac Rehabilitation in Elderly Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases

Objective Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves the mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Even in elderly patients with CVD, CR may improve the activities of daily living (ADL). Methods Eighty-eight outpatients over 65 years of age at the beginning of a CR program (baseline) at Fuk...

Description
Summary:Objective Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves the mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Even in elderly patients with CVD, CR may improve the activities of daily living (ADL). Methods Eighty-eight outpatients over 65 years of age at the beginning of a CR program (baseline) at Fukuoka University Hospital who had CVD and could be followed-up for up to 5 years were enrolled. CVD included ischemic heart disease, postoperative valvular heart disease, dissecting aneurysm of the aorta and peripheral artery disease. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline (55.4±14.8 mL/min/1.73 m2): high (≥55.4, n=44) and low (
