Home-Based Cardiac Rehab Effective
- Home-based cardiac rehab is as effective as center-based rehab for heart failure patients.
- This is especially beneficial for patients located far from specialized centers.
Cardiovascular Care for Cancer Survivors
- Consider annual cardiovascular screenings for cancer survivors.
- The type of cancer therapy received influences the appropriate monitoring strategy.
Mechanical AVR in Younger Patients
- Mechanical AVR offers a survival benefit over bioprosthetic AVR in younger patients (<60).
- While bioprosthetic valves have improved, mechanical valves provide a longer-term solution.
