Background Short-term improvements in quality of life (QOL) have been reported in adult congenital heart disease patients with systemic right ventricle (sRV) failure after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. This study aimed to evaluate the medium-term QOL changes in sRV failure patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan.
Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation services were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to evaluate a symptom-based clinician prioritisation scheme for waiting list management compared with patient-completed quality of life (QoL) scores. –74.1;
It worsens the quality of life of patients, leads to an increase in the mortality rate because of its association with a high risk of thromboembolic complications. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in clinical practice. However, most research in this area has focused on hospital patients.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential of video consults (VCs), even among older patients, to support self-care, improve disease management, and facilitate collaboration with caregivers. Digital consults (DCs) offer a promising solution to enhance GDMT optimization for the growing HF population. Original article: Man JP et al.
Background Long COVID is associated with multiple symptoms and impairment in multiple organs. Using cardiac MR (CMR), we investigated a 12-month trajectory of abnormalities in Long COVID. since first post-COVID-19 symptoms. Cardiac-related blood biomarkers could not identify CMR abnormalities in Long COVID.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic might have amplified the surgical risk. Future analyses will include additional metrics for assessing clinical superiority as well as quality of life outcomes. “Although we primarily tested for non-inferiority, the magnitude of the difference surprised us,” Seiffert said.
Objective To evaluate stress, depression and quality of life among community-dwelling patients with heart failure (HF) and evaluate their effect on perceived medication adherence in a socioeconomically challenged setting. were on ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers and 54.9% on beta-blockers.
The recovery of arm and hand function after a stroke often stalls or even declines, leaving many patients with chronic motor deficits that limit their independence and quality of life. Data was unavailable for the remaining 34 participants mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kimberley , Ph.D.,
This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heart failure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life. Sixty trials (8728 participants) were included.
Here are some notable developments in cardiology: Telemedicine : The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine in cardiology. Innovative Medications : The development of novel medications has expanded treatment options for heart conditions, improving patients' quality of life.
Today’s post on the latest COVID vaccine myocarditis paper gets a big assist from the wicked smart data visualization expert Josh Stevenson ( subscribe to his substack !) In August 2021, the CDC began a study to follow-up cases of myocarditis in the age group at highest risk for myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
Secondary endpoints included change in patients’ overall level of physical activity and in their perception of their symptoms and quality of life. However, the study launched shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to recruitment delays.
Only 10% of patients with COVID develop Long COVID – why? If it were just something about the virus then surely everyone who got COVID would be expected to get long COVID. The severity of COVID does not have a bearing on whether you get Long COVID or not. Are POTS AND LongCOVID the same condition?
Introduction:Pediatric stroke is a rare event associated with high morbidity and reduced quality of life. COVID-19 and influenza were the most common notifiable infections in the previous 60 days (Figure 1).
