8. We hope that by sharing these findings, it will help inform future, successful trials. A thank you to the Co-PIs, Co-Is, and co-authors for their diligent and responsive efforts to see this trial and manuscript through.

3️⃣ intervention: consider shorter duration interventions (<12weeks) and those offered sooner following listing. 4️⃣ sample size: consider up to 30% drop-out. 5️⃣ identify funding or logistical (e.g. virtual) opportunities to address reported barriers to participation (e.g. travel costs & distance).

7. Many lessons learned: 1️⃣ logistics: consider challenges & solutions with multi-centre studies (e.g., how to integrate different clinical processes & care across centres). 2️⃣ eligibility: including an upper limit for the length of time since the patient has been listed for HTx

6. 👟 n=2 patients in PREHAB: HIIT was safe as evidenced by no exercise-related adverse events and patients were able to sustain increases in mean peak power output (PPO) and heart rate (HR) from the first to last exercise bouts (see Figure).

Jennifer Reed @jenniferreed.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

5. 🔎 Why so few patients?! Being transplanted, medication and device contraindications, trial commitment, transportation barriers, and HIIT not recommended by medical professionals (see detailed CONSORT).

4. 📅 Trial recruitment began in October 2018 and closed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in October 2020. Of the 84 patients screened, 17 were eligible and consented to participate; 2 patients were randomized to each intervention group.

3. 🏥 Study design: A multi-centre RCT with a target sample size of 60: n=30 > HIIT, n=30 > usual care (as per Canadian Cardiovascular Society guidelines).

Jennifer Reed @jenniferreed.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

2. 🥅 Main goal of trial: We evaluated the impact of a 12-week program of PREHAB (i.e., high-intensity interval training [HIIT], stress management class, and nutritional workshop) compared with usual care in patients with advanced HF awaiting heart transplantation (HTx) on functional capacity.

1. A 🏔️ during peer review was 📣 why failures are important to publish: Our response: publication of ➖ clinical trial data is critical (to reduce publication bias & research waste, inform future trial designs, & adherence to ethical reporting for patients who participated in the research).

Calgary Confederation & Calgary Centre are tied between Liberals and Cons. NDP voters: orange is closer to red than blue. Your vote may determine if Calgary gets real representation in a Carney majority government—or a former UCP MLA in opposition. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 #yyc #Calgary #Alberta #cdnpoli

With current border policies, it is unethical to continue holding so many important science conferences in the US. In addition to moving conferences to safer international locations, US organizers must reorganize meetings around remote participation.

I would ❤️ to find & share resources that list all supports for Canadians getting to the polls on April 28, 2025. Not only where to vote, but HOW to get there, if early mail in options are missed. E.g., bus & walking routes, child care supports (if needed), Uber or taxi offerings, walking groups.
