Objective: To study the effect of home based cardiac rehabilitation program on quality of life in low and moderate risk patients with Coronary artery disease in rural Indian populations
Design: Experimental control trial
Settings: This study was conducted at kasturba medical college hospital Manipal, India.
Interventions: 60 subjects recruited for the study after screening they were randomly allotted into experimental group and control group. Both the groups were evaluated by the cardiologist and baseline evaluation was recorded. Control groups were managed by physician with regular medical interventions and the experimental groups were given cardiac rehabilitation program which includes, risk factors modifications, and life style modification and structured home based aerobic exercise program three to five sessions per week for 12 weeks.
Measurements: SF-36 questionnaire was administered to assess the quality of life at baseline and after three months of rehabilitation program for both the groups.
Results: Significant improvement in the quality of life scores in all the domains of SF-36 questionnaire in the experimental group (p<.0001). But there was no significant improvement in the quality of life scores in any domains in the control group was noted.
Conclusions: Home based cardiac rehabilitation proved to be effective in improving quality of life in coronary artery disease patients which increased the availability and feasibility than institutional based cardiac rehabilitation which was out of reach for these patients.

Exercise intolerance and Impaired quality of life is the long existing problem in Adult congenital heart disease individuals. Regular physical activities improves the physical capacity of an individual., influence on exercise tolerance and quality of life need to be studied. The aim of the study is to find out the influence of graded aerobic exercise on post surgical adult acyanotic congenital heart disases.
Materials and Methodology111 samples were randomly selected from a tertiary care centre SVIMS, Tirupathi, AP and allotted into control and study groups. The outcomes measures in the study were BMI (kg/ m2),Ejection fraction (%),Nitric oxide (mmol/L), VO2 peak (ml/ kg/min) and Quality of life (score).BMI was recorded using Quetelet index, Ejection fraction through echo, Nitric oxide analysis by Griess method , Bicycle ergometer to measure the ventilatory oxygen peak uptake (VO2 peak) and self assessed health related quality of life questionnaire SF-36 form to assess health related quality of life. The above values were recorded before surgery and 12 weeks after surgery. Graded aerobic exercises were implemented from the day 1 after surgery to 12 weeks to study group. Un graded aerobic exercises were implemented from the day 1 after surgery to 12 weeks to control group.
Results and Statistical AnalysisPower of the study is 90%. Paired t-test is used to compare mean values between pre and post tests of each parameter and t test is used to find out the mean percentage change in the parameters. The mean difference of pre and post intervention values of all outcomes between study and control group were found to be significant at p value<0.001
ConclusionImplementation of graded aerobic exercises in post surgical adult acyanotic congenital heart disease individuals has improved exercise tolerance and quality of life.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue is known to have adverse effect on local coronary health, cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography has shown to be a reliable method to measure the adipose thickness.
Aim: To study the association between epicardial adipose tissue thickness with resting and post-exercise test cardiac output.
Method: A cross-sectional study of 26 overweight and obese subjects in the age group of 20 to 50 was included. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness was measured using M-mode echocardiogram. Resting and post exercise cardiac output, ejection fraction and heart rate recovery were measured during sub-maximal exercise on treadmill.
Results: There was no significant correlation of epicardial adipose tissue thickness with resting and post-exercise cardiac output, ejection fraction and heart rate recovery.
Conclusion: Cardiac output, Ejection fractionat rest and post-exercise, also Heart rate recovery were not affected by epicardial adipose tissue thickness of less than 4 mm.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is important in improving cardiovascular fitness. Estimating physical activity (PA) levels and Energy Expenditure(EE) in Phase-I CR using Accelerometer can help in understanding cardiovascular fitness better.
Method and Materials: PA of 16 participants post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) in Phase-I CR was measured using Actigraph accelerometer. Metabolic Equivalents (METs) and average of daily EE(in Kcals) and steps taken were calculated. Correlation of the Six minute walk distance (6MWD) on the day of discharge and PA levels measured by Actigraphaccelerometer was done.
Results: PA energy expenditure averaged 283.71 Kcals/3days, step counts/day 4861.50, METs 5.79 and the EE in light and moderate intensity activities were 1.01 Kcals and 5.72 Kcals respectively. The time spent in these activities were 62.25 minutes in light intensity and 2 minutes in moderate intensity activities.
Conclusion: PA measured by Actigraph accelerometer was of low to moderate levels in Phase-I CR. There was a weak correlation between PA levels measured by Actigraph accelerometer and 6MWD achieved at the time of discharge.
