      Aims To investigate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiac, vascular, renal and cardiorenal characteristics in chronic heart failure in a telerehabilitation randomized clinical trial. Secondly, to evaluate the associations of cardiorenal syndrome with the effects of exercise.<p> <p<Methods and results Sixty-nine heart failure patients attended baseline examination, and 61 ...

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Manskow, Unn Sollid; Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Morseth, Bente; Edvardsen, Alf Egil; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot; Nes, Bjarne; Hastings, Bryce; Gagnon, Marie-Pierre; Antypas, Konstantinos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-21)
      Introduction: Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, and inactive adults have a higher risk to develop lifestyle diseases. To date, there is preliminary evidence of the efficacy of fitness technologies and other digital interventions for physical activity (PA) promotion. Intervention studies are needed to test the effectiveness and implementation of innovative ...
    • Feasibility of telerehabilitation for heart failure patients inaccessible for outpatient rehabilitation 

      Lundgren, Kari Margrethe; Langlo, Knut Asbjørn Rise; Salvesen, Øyvind; Zanaboni, Paolo; Cittanti, Elisa; Mo, Rune; Ellingsen, Øyvind; Dalen, Håvard; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-23)
      Aims Despite strong recommendations, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation is underused in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Possible barriers are frailty, accessibility, and rural living, which may be overcome by telerehabilitation. We designed a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of a 3-month real-time, home-based telerehabilitation, high-intensity exercise programme for ...
    • Long-Term Telerehabilitation or Unsupervised Training at Home for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hoaas, Hanne; Wootton, Richard; Burge, Angela T.; Philp, Rochelle; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Bondarenko, Janet; Jensen, Torben Tranborg; Miller, Belinda; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)
      Rationale: Despite the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), many patients do not access or complete pulmonary rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance of exercise is difficult. Objectives: To compare long-term telerehabilitation or unsupervised treadmill training at home with standard care. Methods: In an international randomized controlled trial, ...
    • Suitability of Video Consultations During the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown: Cross-sectional Survey Among Norwegian General Practitioners

      Background: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed an acute, sharp rise in the use of video consultations (VCs) by general practitioners (GPs) in Norway.<p> <p>Objective: This study aims to document GPs’ experiences with the large-scale uptake of VCs in the natural experiment context of the pandemic.<p> <p>Methods: A nationwide, cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Norwegian GPs during the ...
    • Telerehabilitation for chronic respiratory disease 

      Cox, Narelle S.; Dal Corso, Simone; Hansen, Henrik; McDonald, Christine F.; Hill, Catherine J.; Zanaboni, Paolo; Alison, Jennifer A.; O’Halloran, Paul; MacDonald, Heather; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-29)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Pulmonary rehabilitation is a proven, effective intervention for people with chronic respiratory diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD) and bronchiectasis. However, relatively few people attend or complete a program, due to factors including a lack of programs, issues associated with travel and transport, and other ...
