A compelling virtual oral presentation at the International Conference on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Science 2026 will examine how different models of cardiac rehabilitation influence patient outcomes. Presented by Dr. Ruth Rasmussen of Liberty University, this session offers valuable insights for clinicians, dietitians, and cardiovascular researchers.
Title:
Our
research comparing traditional and pritikin intensive cardiac rehabilitation outcomes
🔍 What This
Study Explores
🥗
Comparing Rehabilitation Approaches
·
Evaluates outcomes between traditional cardiac rehabilitation and Pritikin
intensive cardiac rehabilitation
·
Focuses on how structured lifestyle and nutrition programs shape
recovery
·
Uses real-world patient data rather than controlled trial settings
📊 Dietary
Behavior Outcomes
·
Assessed using the Rate Your Plate dietary behavior measure
·
Both programs led to meaningful improvements in eating habits
·
Greater positive change observed
in Pritikin intensive CR participants
🧪
Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Analysis
·
Examined fasting lipids, blood pressure, anthropometrics,
functional capacity, and psychosocial health
·
Pritikin intensive CR showed stronger improvements in:
o
Lipid profiles
o
Body composition measures
o
Overall cardiometabolic risk indicators
🚭
Understanding Predictors of Change
·
Smoking status and sex were not strong predictors of dietary or
lipid outcomes
·
Common cardiovascular medications did not significantly influence
lipid improvements
·
No consistent predictors identified for blood pressure or
anthropometric changes
🫀
Implications for Clinical Practice
·
Confirms that both CR models provide cardiovascular benefit
·
Highlights the added value of intensive, nutrition-centered
rehabilitation
·
Supports broader adoption of lifestyle-focused CR programs
