Filter by:Cardiac rehabilitation is approaches that focus on accelerating the recovery process of patients after a cardiac event, improving their physical, psychological and social conditions, and controlling risk factors. Cardiac rehabilitation is known to be an effective and cost-effective approach in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, most of which are caused by preventable risks. Ischemic heart diseases, one of the cardiovascular diseases, are responsible for 16% of total deaths in the world and have increased significantly since 2000, causing 8.9 million deaths in 2019. When coronary artery diseases cannot be prevented, the basic approach should be to ensure the individual's compliance with treatment and healthy lifestyle behaviors, and to increase the quality of life and life span. For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model in cardiac rehabilitation on healthy lifestyle behaviors, health fatalism and risk knowledge level. Question 1. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the healthy lifestyle behaviors score? Question 2. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the health fatalism score? Question 3. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge level score?
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is increasingly recognized as an important indicator for long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) is a novel guidewire-free measure for CMD in patients with AMI. Ticagrelor has recently been suggested to have additional benefits on coronary microcirculation beyond its antiplatelet effect. This study was designed to compare the protective effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on CMD and prognostic impact in patients with AMI, using the angio-IMR as a novel assessment tool.
The aim of the present observational study is to collect clinical data on the medical device non-implantable medical device Fluydo NC: coronary angioplasty non-compliant balloon dilatation catheter in the daily use in a not selected population.
The importance of lifestyle changes to control risk factors in the prevention, treatment and management of coronary heart disease (CHD), a major health problem, has been emphasised. In addition, physical, social, psychological and occupational limitations arising from the disease negatively affect the quality of life and self-efficacy perceptions of individuals, making it difficult to comply with treatment and disease management. There are general self-efficacy and self-management scales for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted previously. However, these scales are not specific to coronary heart disease patients and evaluate either only self-efficacy or only self-management. The aim of this study was to adapt the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale (HH-SESM) into Turkish and to investigate its validity and reliability in patients with coronary heart disease. The study is conducted in Cardiology outpatient clinics of Karaman Training and Research Hospital. Before the study, the purpose and content of the study will be explained to the participants and an informed consent form will be obtained from the participants. Since the sample size in validity and reliability studies should be at least 10 times the total number of scale items, at least 120 individuals will be included in the study as the number of items x number of options (12 x 10 = 120). Detailed medical history and sociodemographic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, disease duration (months), occupation, daily working hours, educational status, sports/exercise habits) will be recorded. In order to measure self-management and self-efficacy levels, patients will be administered the HH-SESM, Self-care management in chronic diseases scale- Self-care subgroup questions and General self-efficacy scales.
The objective of this prospective observational study is to collect clinical data on the medical device Alvision™ Interventional Cardiology Diagnostic Catheter in an unselected population in the current clinical practice
Most male smokers with coronary heart disease resume smoking after hospital discharge. The main reason for failure to quit smoking is lack of motivation. However, few studies have used individual health education models to explore the effectiveness of smoking cessation according to the stage of change in smoking cessation behavior of patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of health education and counseling on the stages of change, smoking decisional balance, and self-efficacy of smoking cessation in smokers with no intention of quitting.
The aim of the present observational study is to collect clinical data on the non-implantable medical device INVADER™ PTCA in the daily use in an unselected population.
The diagnostic efficacy and safety of the XTR004 myocardial perfusion PET imaging tracer are evaluated for known or suspected CAD with the use of invasive coronary angiography as the reference standard for the diagnosis of CAD and invasive pressure-temperature FFR/IMR as a reference for the detection of abnormal coronary function.
Studies were found that a significant relationship between the severe periodontitis and increased CAVI values. While the exact mechanisms linking periodontitis, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are not yet fully understood, it is clear that these diseases are interconnected. There are limited data in the literature evaluating the risk of atherosclerosis in diabetic individuals with periodontal disease. In our survey, we hypothesised that severe periodontitis may be a risk factor for the development of subclinical atherosclerosis among people with type 2 diabetes. Thus, we aimed to investigate the potential risk of subclinical atherosclerosis by using a new surrogate marker CAVI in severe periodontitis patients with short-term diabetes.
After an acute coronary syndrome, an adapted cardiac rehabilitation program is necessary to restore or increase physical capacities and decrease cardiovascular risk. This multidisciplinary care combines physical training sessions and therapeutic education workshops. The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictions such as the closure of rehabilitation centres. To remedy this problem, one solution was to adapt the existing program to a remote cardiac telerehabilitation, i.e., medical and paramedical supervision of rehabilitation sessions and therapeutic patient education meetings via digital tools. Recent studies have shown that it was a safe (no reported adverse effects), effective (similar gains in peak oxygen consumption compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation and patient-adherence alternative.
