Effect of a Telemedicine Model on Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction in a Resource-Limited Setting in Vietnam: Cohort Study

Effect of a Telemedicine Model on Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction in a Resource-Limited Setting in Vietnam: Cohort Study

The universal definition of heart failure (HF) describes it as a clinical syndrome characterized by symptoms or signs caused by structural or functional cardiac abnormalities, corroborated by elevated natriuretic peptide levels or objective evidence of pulmonary or systemic congestion [1,2]. HF has long been regarded as a global pandemic, with an estimated 64 million individuals worldwide with this condition, and this number continues to rise [3].

Novel Versus Conventional Sequencing of β-Blockers, Sodium/Glucose Cotransportor 2 Inhibitors, Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors, and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Stable Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (NovCon Sequencing Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Novel Versus Conventional Sequencing of β-Blockers, Sodium/Glucose Cotransportor 2 Inhibitors, Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors, and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Stable Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (NovCon Sequencing Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

With landmark clinical trials [3-6] demonstrating the efficacy of the latter drugs, there has been a paradigm shift in initiating and sequencing optimal anti–heart failure therapy and a concomitant reevaluation of the evidence base that guides conventional heart failure management. The American Heart Association heart failure guideline supports the rapid titration of guideline-based therapies every 1-2 weeks, with the goal of achieving target doses [7].

Exploring Stakeholder Perspectives on the Barriers and Facilitators of Implementing Digital Technologies for Heart Disease Diagnosis: Qualitative Study

Exploring Stakeholder Perspectives on the Barriers and Facilitators of Implementing Digital Technologies for Heart Disease Diagnosis: Qualitative Study

However, the most common first stage of medical care is the diagnosis of symptoms that may reflect underlying heart disease, with an estimated 39% of adults experiencing symptoms that can reflect possible underlying heart disease such as chest pain [20]. Therefore, the initial onset of symptoms that may indicate cardiovascular problems affects a far greater number of people than those dealing with recovery from or management of heart disease.

Automated Process for Monitoring of Amiodarone Treatment: Development and Evaluation

Automated Process for Monitoring of Amiodarone Treatment: Development and Evaluation

However, careful follow-up is necessary during treatment due to potentially serious adverse effects and toxic reactions in the thyroid gland, liver, lung, and heart. Approximately 15% of patients will experience adverse effects during the first year of amiodarone use and 50% during long-term treatment, most often thyroid and liver dysfunction [1].

Barriers to and Facilitators of Implementing Team-Based Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Simulation Study: Exploratory Analysis

The patient was introduced to the learners as a 65-year-old female in-patient on a hospital cardiac telemetry unit with a past medical history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease. The simulation began when a facilitator in the role of the patient’s nurse requested help from a participant.

Use of mHealth Technology for Improving Exercise Adherence in Patients With Heart Failure: Systematic Review

With the aging population, heart failure (HF) is a growing problem worldwide [1]. In the United States, 8 million individuals are projected to be diagnosed with HF, and the cost of its treatment is expected to reach US $70 billion by 2030 [2-4].

The Role of Clinician-Developed Applications in Promoting Adherence to Evidence-Based Guidelines: Pilot Study

CDSS aid in the evaluation of chest pain and include guidelines from several societies such as the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, with subscription-based databases such as Up To Date [14] or online risk assessment tools such as MDCalc. However, the disadvantages of these resources include cost (with many requiring paid subscriptions) and the inability to incorporate institution-specific protocols.

Development and Usability of an Advance Care Planning Website (My Voice) to Empower Patients With Heart Failure and Their Caregivers: Mixed Methods Study

Development and Usability of an Advance Care Planning Website (My Voice) to Empower Patients With Heart Failure and Their Caregivers: Mixed Methods Study

To enhance ACP completion rates among patients with heart failure and foster a truly patient-centered approach, it is crucial to empower patients to initiate ACP conversations with their caregivers and HCPs. ACP web-based decision aids offer a promising solution, preparing patients for these conversations while alleviating the time burden for clinicians.

Remote Patient Monitoring and Digital Therapeutics Enhancing the Continuum of Care in Heart Failure: Nonrandomized Pilot Study

Heart failure (HF) is the primary cause of hospitalization among patients aged 65 years or older in Canada [1]. Patients with HF require regular clinical follow-ups to prevent readmissions and to facilitate medical therapy optimization in accordance with national [2] and international guidelines [3,4].
