Filter by:Some patients living with multiple long-term health conditions have difficulty accessing the services they need, despite available primary care and community resources. Patient navigation programs may help those with complex health conditions to improve their care and outcomes. Community health navigators (CHNs) are community members who help guide patients through the health care system. CHNs are not health professionals like a doctor or nurse, but they are specially trained to help patients get the most out of their health care and connect them to resources. The ENCOMPASS program of research evaluates a patient navigation program that connects patients living with long-term health conditions to CHNs. To understand if the CHN program can be scaled to a provincial level, the ENCOMPASS program of research is expanding to select primary care settings across Alberta. This study implements and evaluates the CHN program at Calgary West Central Primary Care Network in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The primary aim of this research is to explore the adherence and drop-out from early cardiac rehabilitation (CR), to inform interventions to support patient's adherence to CR and facilitate maintenance. The secondary aim is to understand which aspects of CR are essential for improving health-related quality of life in the short and long-term. This research will comprise four stages adopting a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental, repeated measures design.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of premature death in Canadian women. Women who suffer an acute coronary event are more likely than men to be physically inactive, have lower exercise capacity, and die in the next year. The standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs do not meet women's needs. There is a need to address these issues to increase participation in CR. The main purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) on exercise capacity and quality of life in women with CHD. Positive results of this study will fill the gap in knowledge in exercise training, levels of motivation, self-efficacy and enjoyment following HIIT vs. MICE in women with CHD.
Current Status and Prognosis of Coronary artery disease patients treated with coronary intervention - Analysis of the Korean Nationwide Health Insurance Database
A multicentre, post-marketing, observational trial in 450 patients, whose standard diagnostic workup for chronic coronary syndromes provided for Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA). Medical records of a potential subject of the trial before their enrolment contain a good quality result of at least 128-slice CCTA performed up to 3 months before the elective ICA. CCTA should find at least one ≥50% stenosis in at least one big coronary artery of ≥ 2 mm diameter. At one hour before ICA in the latest the patient should have a resting Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (CNBP) taken with a certified device delivered by LifeFlow. The last criterion before including a patient in the final analysis is at least one significant (≥50%) stenosis in one or two coronary arteries of ≥ 2 mm diameter visually confirmed by ICA with a FFR measurement taken in these arteries. The data collection period will cover time from admission for the elective ICA to discharge from the hospital (evaluation of possible adverse events related to invasive procedures). After initial qualification of available data by the attending physician, selected patients will be asked for a consent to participation in the trial no later than upon admission for the elective ICA and before CNBP measurement.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) promote systemic and coronary endothelial repair through rescue of bone marrow progenitors in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic IHD compared to placebo.
This is a multi-center, observational cohort study including patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and ≥1 saphenous vein grafts (SVG) presenting with recurrent ischemic symptoms. Objective: to investigate the clinical outcomes in patients with prior CABG evaluated for bypass graft failure and progression of native coronary artery disease (CAD). Follow-up will be collected through national registry databases, electronic medical patient records and standardized telephonic assessment at 3 and 5 years follow-up.
The aim of this study is to evaluate functional and physical capacity, health-related quality of life and associations with frailty in older patients after ischemic heart disease and interventional treatment with an individualized physical training program in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation.
Flaxseed and olive oil consumption have beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factors. Nonetheless the effects of their simultaneous consumption have not yet been studied.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a healthy diet containing flaxseed and olive oil compared with healthy dietary advice on cardiovascular disease risk markers in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), in improving flow-mediated dilation, plasma lipid profile and fatty acids composition of red blood cells.
