Randomized Controlled Trial
Physical training program for people at risk of cardiovascular disorders in the primary care setting: A randomized clinical trial.
The impact of a physical training program on moderate-vigorous physical activity is still poorly known in primary cardiovascular prevention. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of a physical training program to promote moderate-vigorous physical activity and exercise in individuals at risk of suffering a cardiovascular event. ⋯ A short-duration physical training program performed in the primary care setting is efficacious and safe in promoting moderate-vigorous physical activity and exercise in the short-term, in a population at risk of suffering a cardiovascular event.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Impact of clinical ultrasound in patients with heart failure treated in home.
In Spain, more than 10% of patients discharged with acute heart failure (AHF) are readmitted in the first 30 days. This study is designed to assess whether the treatment of AHF guided by clinical ultrasound (CU) in the setting of hospitalization at home (HAH) reduces the incidence of readmission and mortality compared to the standard care (SC). ⋯ Our results suggest that in HAH, a CE guided strategy for AHF could reduce the risk of readmission and mortality compared to SC alone. However, studies with greater statistical power are needed to confirm these results.
