Rethinking Rehab: ACTIVE-ADHF and the Power of Early Intervention | JACC Baran
Manage episode 482528548 series 64024
Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, co-host Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Kentaro Kamiya, PhD, from Kitasato University, to discuss the ACTIVE-ADHF trial, a landmark multicenter RCT on early cardiac rehabilitation in acute decompensated heart failure. The study found that initiating exercise-based rehab during hospitalization significantly improved physical function, quality of life, and activity levels at discharge—even in non-frail patients—without increasing adverse events. Dr. Kamiya emphasizes that early rehab can prevent functional decline and support recovery, challenging assumptions about who benefits from acute-phase intervention and offering globally relevant evidence grounded in Japan’s unique clinical setting.
