Major infections after PCI, CABG do not affect very long-term survival
While major infections worsen 5-year survival after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for coronary artery disease, no detrimental effects on mortality are observed thereafter, suggesting that its impact subsides after 5 years, a recent study has found.

VO2 improvements after cardiac rehabilitation tied to better outcomes in high-risk HF
Higher-risk heart failure (HF) patients who show improvements in peak oxygen consumption (VO2) following cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have lower risks of new-onset atrial arrhythmias, mortality, and hospitalization due to HF exacerbation, a recent study has found.
