Abstract Self‐care is essential in the long‐term management of chronic heart failure. Heart failure guidelines stress importance patient education on treatment adherence, lifestyle changes, symptom monitoring and adequate response to possible deterioration. related medical person‐centred outcomes patients with such as better quality life well lower mortality readmission rates. Although give general direction for self‐care advice, health care professionals working need more specific...
To determine whether physical activity enjoyment mediated the association between motivation and in patients with heart failure.
Many nurses and allied professionals (NAPs) lack the skills, knowledge confidence to engage in conducting implementing research. This statement describes importance of NAPs' involvement clinical research within context cardiovascular care. The existing gaps, barriers enablers NAPs as a potential response workforce issues these professions well contribute excellence patient care delivery associated outcomes are identified. Specifically, career development pathways for discussed. Finally,...
The Heart Failure Frailty Score (HFFS) is a novel, multidimensional tool to assess frailty in patients with heart failure (HF). It has been developed overcome limitations of existing assessment tools while being practical for clinical use. HFFS reflects the concept as multidimensional, dynamic and potentially reversible state, which increases vulnerability stressors risk poor outcomes HF. was through Delphi consensus process involving 54 international experts. This approach involved...
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, perioperative nurses faced extraordinary demands in frontline roles, leading many to leave their positions. This study investigates factors influencing decisions resign or change roles during after providing insights into systemic, ethical, and emotional contributors professional attrition. Methods: A qualitative was conducted at a university hospital Spain between December 2021 March 2022. hermeneutic phenomenological approach used analyze lived...
Rationale: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare disease, manifested by syncope or sudden death in children young adults under stress conditions. Mutations the Ca 2+ release channel/RyR2 (type 2 ryanodine receptor) gene account for about 60% of identified mutations. Recently, we found and described mutation RyR2 N-terminal domain, R420Q . Objective: To determine arrhythmogenic mechanisms this mutation. Methods Results: Ventricular tachycardias conditions were...
In the university context, assessing students' attitude, knowledge and opinions when applying an innovative methodological approach to teach professional ethics becomes fundamental know if used is enough motivating for students.To assess effect of a blended-learning model, based on related clinical practices, physiotherapy towards learning ethics.A simple-blind trial was performed (NLM identifier NCT03241693) (control group, n = 64; experimental 65). Both groups followed practices 8 months....
Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbimortality both in men and women. Differences between sex etiopathogenesis, response to treatment, quality care have been found patients with HF. Females are usually under-represented clinical trials there no solid evidence demonstrating the influence prognostic chronic The primary objective this study was analyse differences mortality probability hospital readmission males females secondary compare by ejection fraction (reduced vs....

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a lethal genetic arrhythmia that manifests syncope or sudden death in children and young adults under stress conditions. CPVT patients often present bradycardia sino-atrial node (SAN) dysfunction. However, the mechanism remains unclear. We analyzed SAN function two families novel knock-in (KI) mouse model carrying RyR2R420Q mutation. Humans KI mice presented slower resting heart rate. Accordingly, rate of spontaneous...
