“…This work presents an exploratory experiment for on-line assessment of typical cardiac rehabilitation routines, and for integrating social robots in cardiac rehabilitation routine. Given the fact that cardiovascular patients, especially those diagnosed with heart failure have an increased psychological stress, rehabilitation robotic system could be helpful for the health care system, by precisely identifying risk factors, the potential risk of therapy and by increasing the patient's performance through motivation and engagement (17,18) .…”

In the last decades, we have witnessed a drastic increase in the proportion of elders in the western countries, and more than a third of worldwide population dies because of cardiovascular diseases. The elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases, but not only, are frail and need constant assistance, and so the healthcare system will slowly become incapable of properly address all the patients' medical problems and rehabilitation issues, while aiming towards a continuous increase of the life quality. The rehabilitation robotic systems have the potential to stimulate and support the re-learning of the functional motor pattern of over-ground walking in an optimal manner while increasing patient's motivation, which constitutes a crucial element in the subject's cardiac recovery. Thus, the present article aims at reviewing the robotic systems available for cardiac rehabilitation in elders with cardiac pathology.

“…Among those contextual variables, Metcalfe and Mischel emphasized the importance of stress in determining the dominant system in making behavioral decisions regarding a specific course of actions. Stress adds strain to patients' coping with heart failure which requires life long modifications to cope with the disease process and improve clinical outcomes (Fãrcas & Nãstasã, 2014;Moser, 2002). These modifications are a source of stress for persons with heart failure.…”

“…Heart failure was associated with higher levels of stress (Moser, 2002) which can worsen clinical outcomes of the disease (Fãrcas & Nãstasã, 2014). Increased levels of perceived stress were associated with longer duration of heart failure, lower income level, less education, and poorer quality of life (Fãrcas & Nãstasã, 2014).…”

“…In frail patients with severe AS, before and after TAVI, exercisebased programs increased gait speed and improved balance and performance in activities of daily life [28]. In conclusion, after this vast literature review, apart from exercise recommendation, a complete and ideal CRP should include nutrition counselling, occupational therapy, and psychological counselling to ensure psychosocial health, and social worker counselling [32]. As for the settings of CRP, beside specialised center supervision, smart homes and distance monitored CRP could be implemented, lowering the cost of the procedures [33].…”

The degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvular disease in the elderly (over 75 years), and its severe form is found in 12.4% associated with a low survival rate at 5 years (15-50%). These patients are categorised as frail and the only possible choice of treatment is transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). When cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP) were introduced after TAVI, they had a positive impact on clinical outcome, increasing the quality of life and decreasing morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly with high frailty score. This review underlines the utility of objective and functional frailty assessment in elderly patients with severe AS, before and after TAVI. Inclusion of these patients in complex and individually designed CRP could improve both QoL and short and long term outcome. Apart from exercise recommendation, a complete and ideal CRP should include nutrition counselling, occupational therapy, and psychological counselling to ensure psychosocial health, as well as social worker counselling. CRP could prevent and reduce severity of frailty by improving/increasing mobility, muscle mass and cognitive function. Further studies should aim at appraising long-term effects and prognostic relevance of CRP in frail patients undergoing TAVI.
