Abstract:

Heart failure (HF) has a global significance for the older population and is the most common reason for hospitalization. Patients with HF can reduce their risk for hospital readmissions and adverse outcomes through self-management of their disease. Nurses are responsible for educating patients about HF self-management; however, nurses at the project site lacked sufficient understanding and confidence to perform adequate HF patient education, creating a gap in practice. This project was guided by Pender's health promotion model and adult learning theory with the goal to increase nurses' knowled

Abstract:

Patients that have suffered from a heart attack, has a condition called coronary artery disease. This condition is partly inherited, by lifestyle choices such as diet, smoking and exercise account for as much as 80 % of the disease progression and outcome. Today a great majority of patients with coronary artery disease choose not to participate in an exercise-based rehabilitation programme after an event, even though exercise has shown to reduce mortality rates by more than 25 %. What if we could encourage patients with coronary artery disease to engage in exercise-based rehabilitation treatme

Abstract:

The prevalence of heart failure became a major and growing public health problem globally, with rising mortality numbers causing a great financial burden. In Mongolia, the hospitalization for cardiovascular diseases makes up 55% of all hospitalizations, and mortality rate of circulatory diseases was the highest nationwide, accounting for 36.7% of all deaths (S.Ariuntuya et al., 2011). However, there is still no formal research addressing the prevalence of heart failure in Mongolia. Therefore, this paper is meant to bring awareness of the problem of hidden heart failure in Mongolia, which might

Abstract:

This study examines the role that patient knowledge plays in helping patients to manage a chronic condition such as coronary heart disease (CHD). It asks two questions: firstly, what sources do CHD patients use when seeking knowledge about their condition, and what are their reasons for doing so? Secondly, do patients, in the course of managing their CHD, generate knowledge about the condition and its treatment? The study is based on a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with 34 patients with diagnosed CHD. It uses the grounded theory method. The study makes a contribu

Abstract:

Strong evidence has been found to link the diagnosis of CHD with depression, and patients with all CHD-related diagnoses and co-morbid depression display higher morbidity and mortality from CHD than those individuals without depression. Screening and treatment of depression by cardiology clinicians continues to be limited due to poor symptom recognition and lack of desire to treat perceived primary care conditions in specialty practice. The American Heart Association has designated timely assessment and treatment/referral of depression as primary goals for high-quality evidenced-based cardiol

Fifty percent of the diagnosed cases of coronary heart disease in the United States are of unknown etiology. This study proposed that five personality traits— achievement, dominance, aggression, succorance and Critical Parent—differentiate individuals with coronary heart disease manifestations. The ultimate goal of this research was to formulate a predictive profile of at-risk individuals of developing coronary heart disease.

Background: Lifestyle changes and drug treatment can improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but their co-operation with suggested treatment is often limited. The aim of this thesis was to study how patients and their spouses conceive CHD and its treatment. Material and Methods: The research design used was inductive and descriptive. The studies were based on three complementary sets of data. Patients with CHD (n=23) and spouses (n=25) were interviewed one year after an episode of the disease.

Abstract:

Despite major advances in therapies, chronic heart failure (CHF) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These patients often have a significant limitation in their exercise capacity. We showed that there are widespread abnormalities of both systolic and diastolic function in HCM patients. These abnormalities contribute significantly to exercise limitation observed in these patients. Furthermore, we showed that HCM manifest a myocardial energy defieciency which was accompanied by a slowing of the energy-dependent early diastolic LV a

Depression is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Altered autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, a common feature of depression, is also a risk factor for cardiac events in patients with CAD. Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects ANS activity, and reduced HRV predicts morbidity in cardiac populations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether differences in HRV exist between depressed and nondepressed patients with CAD.

Single ventricle heart defects, where systemic and pulmonary venous returns mix in the single functional ventricle, represent the most complex form of congenital heart defect, affecting 2 babies per 1000 live births. Surgical repairs, termed "Fontan Repairs," reroute the systemic venous return directly to the pulmonary arteries, thus preventing venous return mixing and restoring normal oxygenation saturation levels. Unfortunately, these repairs are only palliative and Fontan patients are subjected to a multitude of chronic complications. It has long been suspected that hemodynamics play a role

The theophylline clearance was evaluated in patients with liver dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure. One hundred and twenty two patients were categorized into four groups; Group I: Liver dysfunction (n=20), Group II: Congestive heart failure (CHF, n=22), Group III: Both liver dysfunction and CHF (n=12), and Group IV: Control group (n=68). The severity of liver dysfunction and CHF were evaluated using Child-Turcotte- Pugh index (CTP) and a Cardiac Function index, respectively. Theophylline clearance was significantly decreased in Groups I, II, and III when compared to the control group;

Abstract:

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, even optimal medical therapies do not attenuate deterioration of the left ventricular (LV) function completely. Stem cell therapies, and recently cardiac stem cell therapies, have emerged as potential novel treatments for IHD. However, clinical evidence from randomised controlled studies has shown mixed results. Thus understanding what patient-related factors may affect the therapeutic performance of the cells may help improving treatment outcomes. The studies described in this thesis aim to understand how cardia
