This year's fourth issue of the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention is now available!
You should really appreciate the excellent Invited Review on Women in Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Review featured in the July 2021 edition (Volume 41, No. 4). There is also an interesting Scientific Review on Trials on Exercise-Based Rehabilitation Interventions for Following Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: Observations from the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, six articles on Cardiac Rehabilitation, two articles on Pulmonary Rehabilitation and plenty more in this installment.
One other notable feature in this issue is our second Infographic. This one provides a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Algorithm for Viral Infection. We are excited for the potential of these Infographics to communicate important information in a visually appealing way.
