Abstract:

Background: Previous research indicates that for some individuals, quality of life (QoL) post-cardiac surgery (CABG or PTCA ) declines from pre-surgery levels. Using the framework of Leventhal's Common-Sense Model, this longitudinal study examined the associations between patients' illness perceptions and coping strategies, their QoL, attendance at cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes. It was hypothesised that a more negative profile of illness beliefs (weaker control beliefs, belief in more severe consequences, poorer understanding of the condition, and negative emotional representati

Abstract:

Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is considered routine practice for patients following an acute cardiac event or surgical intervention. Although there is a seemingly strong evidence base supporting it for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), provision in the UK remains poor for this patient group. In addition, data for CHF patients reported in key CR reviews and meta-analyses are not a true representation of the UKs CHF population. The transferability of current evidence into actual practice settings in the UK therefore remains incongruous. Rationale and aims: Study

Abstract:

Prospective, randomised controlled trials were performed to investigate the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in two selected patient groups. One group comprised patients in the early stage of recovery after an uncomplicated myocardial infarction. The other consisted of patients with stable chronic heart failure, who are usually excluded from exercise programmes. The reliability and validity of a new method of measuring ambulatory activity was determined. The rehabilitation programme for the post myocardial infarction patients lasted six weeks and contained education and exercise components.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators are highly effective in the management of life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and implanted for secondary and primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, 40% of patients fail to adapt to implantation, developing phobic anxiety states, depression and a fear of arrhythmia and defibrillator therapy (shock) during physical activity. Antecedent behaviour associated with defibrillator therapy and physical activity contributes to a sedentary lifestyle and a concomitant reduction in functional capacity (FC), both of which are associated with an inc

Abstract:

Heart failure prevalence is projected to rise in the United States over the ensuing decades. Typical health education should be focused on primary prevention strategies; however, for those stricken with the disease, health educators should determine appropriate secondary prevention strategies for individuals to live a healthy life. One such strategy, recently approved for coverage by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, is cardiac rehabilitation. The impetus for the policy change was the heart failure ACTION trial.

However, the lack of patients ever being referred to cardiac rehabilitation is disturbing.

It has long been documented that patients from lower socio-economic backgrounds do not access health services. There have been Government led initiatives to ask service users what they want from services to provide initiatives that will improve the health and well-being of the population. There has been little or no involvement of patients who do not access services to ask them why they do not attend or involve themselves in decision making.
