Abstract:

Background: Access to secondary prevention remains disconcertingly low despite proven benefits. The objectives of this thesis were: to evaluate telehealth models of secondary prevention; to determine barriers to participation in secondary prevention; to evaluate the long-term outcomes of a previously proven telehealth model, CHOICE (Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events); to determine the replicability and generalisability of CHOICE; and to determine future directions for delivery of secondary prevention. Methods: Mixed methods were utilised to achieve the obje

The lipid profile, specifically decreased levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), elevated triglyceride levels and the presence of small-dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been reported associated with CVD.

Abstract:

Myocardial ischemia, infarction, heart failure and arrhythmias are the manifestations of coronary artery disease. Reduction of ischemic damage is a major concern of cardiovascular biology research. As per recent studies, the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoKATP) opening is believed to play key role in the physiology of cardioprotection, protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury or apoptosis. However, the structural information of mitoKATP is not precisely known. Elucidating the structural integrity and functioning of the mitoKATP is therefore a major goal of cardiovascu

Abstract:

Positive psychology has led a movement that concentrates on positive characteristics. The current study examined the relationship between positive emotions, negative emotions, flourishing, languishing, and cardiovascular functioning. The study uses guided imagery to help participants recall a negative emotional event and positive emotional event in a counterbalanced order. The reverse order allowed us to examine the differential contributions of stress buffering versus facilitated recovery effects to higher levels of heart rate variability (HRV).

BACKGROUND Increasingly, it is recognised that the unique needs of people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CaLDB) should be addressed within a framework of cultural competence.

Appreciation of an individual???s values, attitudes and beliefs underpins negotiation of behaviour change in the CR setting.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Prevention strategies are extremely important to reduce the burden of CHD, especially in those who have had a previous cardiovascular event, as they are at greater risk of having a recurrent event and are more likely to die in the recurrent event. Despite the clear benefits of preventive care, many CHD patients fail to receive and adhere to the guideline recommendations, including lifestyle modification and adherence to evidence-based medications.
