Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) on functional capacity of patients with chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC) and to compare the responses between CCC patients without and with heart failure (HF). MATERIALS AND METHODS A longitudinal observational retrospective study was carried out including 36 patients with CCC without HF (stage B2 [n = 7]) and with HF (stage C [n = 29]), who participated in a CR program. Functional capacity was assessed by a maximal progressive cardiopulmonary exercise test performed on a treadmill. The longitudinal effects of the CR on functional capacity were determined by linear mixed models that included an interaction term to evaluate the differential responses between patients without and with HF. RESULTS Significant improvements in peak oxygen consumption, resting heart rate and blood pressure, and maximum pulmonary ventilation were observed for the overall study sample, with no apparent differential effects according to the presence of HF. CONCLUSIONS CR significantly improved functional capacity of patients with CCC. The responses to CR appear to be similar among patients without and with HF, reinforcing the need for its inclusion as a standard treatment strategy of CCC.Implications for rehabilitationExercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) is a safe strategy that improves functional capacity, cardiac function, and quality of life in patients with several cardiovascular diseases, and recent studies also suggested a potential beneficial effect of CR in chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC).In this observational study, CR seems to equally improve exercise capacity, resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, and maximum pulmonary ventilation in patients with CCC without (stage B2) and with heart failure (stage C).Cardiovascular rehabilitation should be included as a standard treatment strategy for patients with CCC, regardless the severity of cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Covid-19 is a novel infectious disease whose spectrum of presentation ranges from absence of symptoms to widespread interstitial pneumonia associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), leading to significant mortality. Given the systemic pattern of Covid-19, there are many factors that can influence patient's functional capacity after acute infection and the identification of such factors can contribute to the development of specific rehabilitation strategies. Pulmonary impairment is the primary cause of hospitalization due to Covid-19, and can progress to SARS as well as increase length of hospitalization. Moreover, cardiac involvement is observed in approximately 30% of hospitalized patients, with an increased risk of acute myocarditis, myocardial injury, and heart failure, which may compromise functional capacity in the long-term. Thromboembolic complications have also been reported in some patients with Covid-19 and are associated with a poor prognosis. Musculoskeletal complications may result from long periods of hospitalization and immobility, and can include fatigue, muscle weakness and polyneuropathy. Studies that address the functional capacity of patients after Covid-19 infection are still scarce. However, based on knowledge from the multiple systemic complications associated with Covid-19, it is reasonable to suggest that most patients, especially those who underwent prolonged hospitalization, will need a multiprofessional rehabilitation program. Further studies are needed to evaluate the functional impact and the rehabilitation strategies for patients affected by Covid-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of participants as well as discontinuation and mortality rates in a cardiac rehabilitation programme (CRP) tailored to Chagas disease (CD). METHODS Participants underwent functional capacity, anthropometry and cardiac function evaluations before beginning a CRP. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were performed to investigate the associations between clinical and sociodemographic characteristics at baseline with discontinuation rates and deaths. RESULTS Forty-two patients were enrolled in the CRP (61.9% men, mean age of 58.1 ± 11.8 years). During a median follow-up period of 10.8 months, 74% discontinued and 14% died while enrolled in CRP. 34% of the patients who discontinued CRP died during follow-up. White race (HR = 0.09; 95% CI 0.01-1.00), right ventricular systolic dysfunction (HR = 10.54; 95% CI 1.24-89.50) and oxygen pulse (HR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.48-0.99) were independently associated with death while enrolled in CRP. Married status (HR = 0.44; 95% CI 0.21-0.95) was independently associated with discontinuation rates from CRP. VO2 peak (HR = 0.85; 95% CI 0.74-0.98) and CRP discontinuation due to CD-related reasons (HR = 8.33; 95% CI 1.91-36.27) were the variables independently associated with death after discontinuation of CRP. CONCLUSION In this population, sociodemographic aspects and severity of CD were important determinants of CRP discontinuation and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate acute and subacute hemodynamic responses and perception of effort in individuals with CCC submitted to different IMT protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a randomized cross-over trial conducted on CCC subjects with systolic left ventricular dysfunction (<45% left ventricular ejection fraction) without or with heart failure (stages B2 and C, respectively). Twenty-one participants performed two IMT protocols, one targeting 60% maximal inspiratory pressure with 3 × 10 repetitions (MIP60) and the other targeting 30% maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP30) with 3 × 20 repetitions with a 2 min recovery between sets for both. MIP60 and MIP30 were performed on the same day with a 2 h washout period. Measurements were taken at baseline, during and 60 min after IMT. RESULTS No differences in hemodynamic variables were observed across protocols. The perception of effort increased in both protocols, with higher scores for the MIP30 protocol (β = +1.6, p = 0.01; β = +1.1, p = 0.02; β = +0.9, p = 0.08 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sets, respectively). CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in hemodynamic responses comparing MIP60 and MIP30 protocols in subjects with CCC. Despite the higher perception of effort during endurance protocol, both protocols can be considered a safe therapeutic strategy.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDespite inspiratory muscle training may result in functional capacity improvements, no previous study evaluated the hemodynamic acute and subacute responses to inspiratory muscle training in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.The two inspiratory muscle training protocols (30% and 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure) did not cause significant hemodynamic repercussions in subjects with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.Inspiratory muscle training seems to be an effective strategy to improve functional capacity and can be implemented in the rehabilitation programs for patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy.Since no significant adverse responses were observed in any of the hemodynamic parameters during the inspiratory muscle training sessions, these two protocols of inspiratory muscle training (30% and 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure) seems to be safe in subjects with Chagas cardiomyopathy.
