Atrial Fibrillation Status and Physical Rehabilitation in Older Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: An Analysis From the REHAB-HF Trial
The REHAB-HF (Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients) trial demonstrated that a transitional, tailored, progressive rehabilitation intervention improved physical function, 6-minute walk distance, frailty, quality-of-life, and depression in older patients hospitalized for acute...

Zusammenfassung: | The REHAB-HF (Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients) trial demonstrated that a transitional, tailored, progressive rehabilitation intervention improved physical function, 6-minute walk distance, frailty, quality-of-life, and depression in older patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure. This analysis assessed the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on intervention benefits.
Of 349 enrolled patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (mean age 72.7±8.1 years), 176 (50.4%) had AF. Participants were randomly assigned to 12-week rehabilitation intervention or attention control. The primary outcome was Short Physical Performance Battery score at 3 months. Participants with AF were older (74.4±8.3 versus 70.8±7.5, |
