Filter by:The overarching goal of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate the effect of a collaborative quality improvement (C-QIP) intervention (consisting of non-physician health workers, text messages for a healthy lifestyle, and a clinical decision support system) on processes of care and clinical outcomes among individuals with previous cardiovascular disease in India.
The incidence of coronary heart disease in young people is not uncommon and the investigators will explore the factors contributing to this outcome
Our study focuses on the question about primary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients with coronary heart disease are concerned about demonstrating the association between the patients' view of CR and social associated factors. In our study, all participants are invited to choose at least 1 question in 15 questions or provide their questions regarding their doubt about the CR after filling in their personal information. The selectable questions can be categorized into five titles: the content or purpose of CR, the method of CR, the advantage of CR, the adverse effect of CR, and the expenditure of CR.
Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disease, characterised by low muscle strength and muscle mass, and associated with higher medical care costs, shorter life expectancy and physical dependence. Sarcopenia affects around 1 in 10 older adults in the general population. However, in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), this number is almost 3 in 10. Patients who have CHD are offered cardiac rehabilitation (CR); a multicomponent programme designed to improve long-term health outcomes. Nutritional education is an important part of CR and typically focuses around modifying fat and carbohydrate intake to lower cholesterol levels and achieve a healthy weight. Currently there is little focus on increasing protein intake, which might reduce the risk of sarcopenia. Eligible patients with CHD and low protein intake will receive the standard nutritional education delivered during CR. Next, participants will be randomised to one of two groups: protein education (intervention), or standard information (control). Whilst COVID-19 restrictions are in place, education will be delivered remotely via pre-recorded video. Outcome measures, including protein intake, sit to stand performance, sarcopenia risk score (modified SARC-F), Physical Activity Vital Signs (PAVS) and waist circumference, will be assessed at baseline, at the end of the standard CR programme and after a follow-up period of the same duration as the CR programme.
Objective to evaluate the effect of Shexiang Baoxin Pill on myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (non obstructive coronary heart disease) through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical multicenter study.At the same time, the effects of exercise tolerance and quality of life were also observed.
Percutaneous coronary intervention is currently one of the effective methods for the treatment of ACS. Unfortunately, the incidence of ISR is as high as 10%-20% at 3-6 months after PCI. So it is necessary to identify the potential risk factors to provide evidence for the prevention of ISR. Current research shows that anxiety and depression are related to the increased risk of major adverse cardiac events and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. But there remains a relative paucity of evidence for the association between anxiety and depression and in-stent restenosis (ISR) .So a retrospective cohort study was conducted in the first hospital of Qinhuangdao in 2015-2020. The patients who underwent coronary angiography 1 year after PCI in our hospital from January 2015 to September 2020 were selected. Patients were divided into ISR and non-ISR groups depending on the follow-up coronary angiography results. Logistic regression model was utilized for analyzing the association of depression and anxiety with the in-stent restenosis (ISR) after PCI.
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.
Depression doubles the risk of death in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but so far, there is insufficient evidence that we can reduce the risk of death by treating depression. This study will investigate the cardiac risk markers that are associated with depression symptoms that remain despite treatment, and identify potential targets for their treatment. The results of the study will inform the development of more effective interventions to improve both depression and survival in patients with CHD.
Introduction: Today it is necessary to emphasize that coronary heart disease is often associated with anxiety disorders. Research over the years has shown several and sometimes surprising links between coronary heart disease and mental illness, and has even suggested that both of these phenomena may actually cause each other. However, the exact nature of these links has not yet been clearly established. Methods: The study included 202 patients with coronary artery disease, of whom 42 patients were with stable angina pectoris, they participated as a control group, and 160 patients with unstable angina pectoris, who made up the main group. Among them there are 102 women and 100 men between the ages of 30 and 88. The average age was 63.75 ± 11.37 years. All study participants had blood in the morning on fasting after 8-12 hours of fasting from the cubital vein. Determination of the level of cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-10 in blood serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All participants in the study had blood drawn in the morning on fasting after 8-12 hours of fasting from the cubital vein. The level of uric acid was determined on the CYAN Start apparatus using a unified method. When examining patients with unstable angina pectoris were used: hospital anxiety and depression scale [Kozlova S.N. 2013]. And also the Spielberger-Khanin scale [Psychiatry - Hoffman A.G. 2010], developed by Spielberger Ch.D. and adapted by Yu.L. Khanin. to assess cognitive functions [Psychiatry - Gofman A.G. 2010].
Patients with ischemic heart disease and symptoms due to lack of oxygen to the heart on exertion (stable angina pectoris) are usually treated by either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or optimal medical therapy (OMT) alone. In patients with mild to moderate coronary artery disease the prognostic impact of PCI is probably limited. Furthermore it is unclear which treatment is superior in terms of relieving symptoms (PCI or OMT). In this trial, patients with mild to moderate coronary artery disease will be randomized to PCI or sham-PCI. All patients will undergo optimal medical therapy. It is hypothesized that PCI is superior to sham-PCI in patients with stable angina pectoris undergoing optimal medical therapy in terms of symptom-relief.
