BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity and functional limitation are associated with poor outcomes in heart failure (HF). However, the individual and combined effect of these on health-related quality of life in patients with HF is not well understood. METHODS: Patients aged ≥30 years with two or more HF diagnostic codes and one or more HF-related prescription drugs from four U.S. institutions were mailed a survey to measure patient-centric factors including functional status (activities of daily living [ADLs]) and health-related quality of life (PROMIS-29 Health Profile)...

Anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery (AAOLCA) confers high risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). This series aims to describe consecutive admissions with interarterial AAOLCA presenting with SCA and distinct clinical trajectories. An eight-year-old boy collapsed at school and received 10-min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation prior to return of spontaneous circulation. He had no end-organ dysfunction and underwent uneventful coronary unroofing. In contrast, a 14-year-old boy presented with collapse while jogging...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to observe the anesthetic effect and safety of intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxant with propofol-remifentanil combined with regional block under laryngeal mask airway in pediatric ophthalmologic surgery. METHODS: A total of 90 undergoing ophthalmic surgery were anesthetized with general anesthesia using the laryngeal mask airway without muscle relaxant. They were randomly divided into two groups: 45 children who received propofol-remifentanil intravenous anesthesia combined with regional block (LG group), and 45 children who received total intravenous anesthesia (G group)...

AIM: QTc interval prolongation is a growing global issue which can cause torsades de pointes, a potentially fatal arrhythmia. We aimed to identify risk factors for prolonged QT interval in men and women. METHODS: The Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder (MASHAD) cohort study collected electrocardiogram interval data. QT was corrected for heart rate using the Bazett's formula. Ordinal logistic regression with crude (univariable) and adjusted (multivariate) association analyses in the form of odds ratio and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to identify the factors associated with QTc prolongation...

Sleep apnoea is a common disorder affecting sleep quality by obstructing the respiratory airway. This disorder can also be correlated to certain diseases like stroke, depression, neurocognitive disorder, non-communicable disease, etc. We implemented machine learning techniques for detecting sleep apnoea to make the diagnosis easier, feasible, convenient, and cost-effective. Electrocardiography signals are the main input used here to detect sleep apnoea. The considered ECG signal undergoes pre-processing to remove noise and other artefacts...

BACKGROUND: Previous research has examined the dyadic health components consisting of dyadic burdens, psychological disorders, psychological resilience, and illness- or caregiving-related beliefs independently from each other in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and their caregivers, but there is a need for further insights into their interconnections. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the interconnections among dyadic health components in patients with CHF and their caregivers...

BACKGROUND: Acute chest pain is a common presentation in emergency departments worldwide. Differentiating between cardiac and non-cardiac chest pain is crucial for patient management and resource allocation. METHODS: This study analyzed 714 patients presenting with acute chest pain in a tertiary care hospital in North India. We investigated demographic characteristics, chief complaints, risk factors, ECG findings, and final diagnoses to identify patterns associated with cardiac (CCP) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP)...

OBJECTIVES: The literature is nonexistent on the assessment of overall fractions of diseases attributable to multiple dependent psychosocial work factors. The objectives of the study were to calculate the overall fractions of coronary heart diseases (CHD) and depression attributable to multiple dependent psychosocial work factors in 35 European countries. METHODS: We used already published fractions of CHD and depression attributable to each of the following psychosocial work factors: job strain, effort-reward imbalance, job insecurity, long working hours, and workplace bullying...

BACKGROUND: Integrated care, in particular the 'Blended Collaborative Care (BCC)' strategy, may have the potential to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in multimorbid patients with heart failure (HF) and psychosocial burden at no or low additional cost. The ESCAPE trial is a randomised controlled trial for the evaluation of a BCC approach in five European countries. For the economic evaluation of alongside this trial, the four main objectives were: (i) to document the costs of delivering the intervention, (ii) to assess the running costs across study sites, (iii) to evaluate short-term cost-effectiveness and cost-utility compared to providers' usual care, and (iv) to examine the budgetary implications...

Obesity is a multifaceted and complex condition that requires holistic management. It currently affects nearly one in four adults in the UK, with the UK ranked 10th globally for the highest obesity rates. Obesity is projected to have an economic burden of ∼£2 billion per year by 2030 in the UK.1 Excess weight gain can coincide with myriad health concerns and multiple health conditions, which can be physical, metabolic or psychosocial. This includes type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, coronary heart disease, osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnoea, reproductive disorders, depression and cancer2 ; hence, there has been a significant emphasis on obesity prevention...

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist. Prediction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery after catheter ablation (CA) for AF remains difficult. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the value of biomarkers, alone and in conjunction with the Antwerp score to predict LVEF recovery after CA for AF. METHODS: Patients undergoing CA for AF with depressed LVEF(<50%) were included. Plasma levels of 13 biomarkers were measured immediately prior to CA...

Different interventions have been evaluated for the treatment of depression in heart failure (HF) patients. However, clear and established recommendations are lacking. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) evaluating the effect of various treatment options on depression scores in heart failure patients. The primary outcome was a change in depression scores presented as standardized mean difference (SMD). A Bayesian network for meta-analysis was constructed...

IMPORTANCE: Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a known risk factor for depression, evidence is lacking regarding whether and to what extent a spouse's CVD is associated with the subsequent mental health of individuals. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between CVD onset in spouses and subsequent depression.

We aim to examine the association of sleep duration, sleep quality, late chronotype and circadian misalignment with glycemic control and risk of complications in young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes followed in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. Self-reported sleep duration, quality, timing, and circadian misalignment were assessed via a modified Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and chronotype was assessed via the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ)...

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction is the myocardial necrosis caused by acute and persistent ischemia and hypoxia of coronary arteries. It can be complicated with arrhythmia, shock or heart failure, and often can endanger life. The disease is most common in Europe and the United States, where about 1.5 million heart attacks occur each year. China has shown a clear upward trend in recent years, with at least 500 000 new cases and at least 2 million new cases every year. Cardiac rehabilitation nursing is a kind of comprehensive nursing that aims to restore the body function of patients with myocardial infarction...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is increasing among young and middle-aged people, and such patients need to be reemployed after AMI events from the individual and society perspectives. However, the situation of employment after AMI was not ideal. Early identification of patients vulnerable to decreased work ability and provided targeted intervention may be beneficial. OBJECTIVE: To identify the profiles and associated factors of work ability in young and middle-aged AMI patients...
