UNLABELLED: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is increasingly used in medical education and paediatric cardiology. A technology-enhanced learning (TEL) module was designed to accompany 3D printed models of congenital heart disease (CHD) to aid in the teaching of medical students. There are few studies evaluating the attitudes and perceptions of medical students regarding their experience of learning about CHD using 3D printing. This study aimed to explore senior medical students' experiences in learning about paediatric cardiology through a workshop involving 3D printed models of CHD supported by TEL in the form of online case-based learning...

Disparities exist in the cardiovascular mortality outcomes among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Research has established that these disparities are often related to the environmental and social determinations of health. This study explores the spatial variation between air pollution, social determinants of health and T2D related age-adjusted cardiovascular mortality (aa-CVM) in the United States. We obtained county-level T2D related to aa-CVM (per 100,000 residents) from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention WONDER (Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) (2010 to 2019)...

OBJECTIVE: Statins are the cornerstone for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Patients often consult online patient education materials (OPEMs) to inform medical decision-making. We therefore aimed to assess the readability and reliability of OPEMs related to statins. METHODS: A total of 17 statin-related terms were queried using an online search engine to identify the top 20 search results for each statin-related term. Each OPEM was then grouped into the following categories based on 2 independent reviewers: government OPEMs (national, state, or local government agencies); healthcare/nonprofit OPEMs (major health systems and nonprofit organizations with a specific cardiovascular health focus); industry/commercial OPEMs (pharmaceutical manufacturers and online pharmacies); lay press OPEMs (healthcare-oriented news organizations); and dictionary/encyclopedia OPEMs...

INTRODUCTION: Despite growing awareness of neurodevelopmental impairments in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), there is a lack of large, longitudinal, population-based cohorts. Little is known about the contemporary neurodevelopmental profile and the emergence of specific impairments in children with CHD entering school. The performance of standardised screening tools to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes at school age in this high-risk population remains poorly understood...

INTRODUCTION: Stroke prevention using oral anticoagulation (OAC) is the first management priority in atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite the importance of good therapy adherence, real-world adherence is still suboptimal. Patient education and adherence monitoring with new technologies are recommended. The main purpose of this sub-analysis of the AF-EduCare trial was to evaluate the effect of personalized follow-up strategies on adherence to OAC. METHODS: Regimen adherence was monitored by the electronic Medication Event Monitoring System cap at the start of the trial (M1) and after 12 months (M2), each for three months...

Parents of children with congenital heart disease experience unique stressors that affect their psychological well-being and health-related quality of life. A parent's ability to cope effectively influences how they adjust to stressful situations. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the factors influencing HRQoL in parents of children with congenital heart disease under the lens of the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping framework to identify areas for intervention and future research. An integrative literature review was conducted by keyword search of online databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Medline from 2011 to 2022...

Anti-hypertensive education is an important public health intervention to decrease the mortality and burden of the disease. Using digital technologies for education as a part of preventive measures for hypertension is a cost-effective approach and helps low-income communities and vulnerable populations overcome barriers to healthcare access. The coronavirus disease 19 pandemic further highlighted the need of new health interventions to address health inequalities. Virtual education is helpful to improve awareness, knowledge, and attitude toward hypertension...

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often associated with troubling symptoms leading to impaired quality of life (QoL) and high health care use. Symptom preoccupation, that is, fear of cardiac-related symptoms and avoidance behavior, potentially contributes to disability in AF but is not targeted by current interventions. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the effect of online cognitive behavior therapy (AF-CBT) on QoL in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite a measurable increase in recent years, the bystander resuscitation rate in Germany lags behind the European comparison. Special centers for the care of patients after cardiac arrest, so-called cardiac arrest centers (CAC), have been established. The aim of this work is to evaluate the role of CACs, in addition to in-hospital patient care, in improving the bystander resuscitation rate in Germany and what obstacles exist in the implementation of resuscitation training...

Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with symptoms and/or signs caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality and corroborated by elevated natriuretic peptide levels and/or objective evidence of pulmonary or systemic congestion. Among HF types, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the commonest form. However, the diagnosis and management of HFpEF are challenging. In addition, the perception of healthcare professionals (HCPs) towards the diagnosis and management of HFpEF patients differs due to the existing gap between the guidelines and daily clinical practice...

BACKGROUND: Medical students are expected to be competent in interpreting electrocardiograms (ECGs) by the time they graduate, but many are unable to master this skill. Studies suggest that e-modules are an effective way to teach ECG interpretation, however they are typically evaluated for use during clinical clerkships. We sought to determine if an e-module could replace a didactic lecture to teach ECG interpretation during a preclinical cardiology course. METHODS: We developed an asynchronous, interactive e-module that consisted of narrated videos, pop-up questions and quizzes with feedback...
