Delay from onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms to hospital admission continues be prolonged. To date, community education campaigns on the topic have had disappointing results. Therefore, we conducted a clinical randomized trial test whether an intervention tailored specifically for patients with ACS and delivered one-on-one would reduce prehospital delay time.

<h3>Background</h3> The effectiveness of therapy for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is dependent on patients' quick decision to seek treatment. We surveyed level knowledge about heart disease and self-perceived risk a future myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with documented ischemic disease. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients (N = 3522) had mean age 67 years, 68% were male, all history AMI or invasive cardiac procedure Data gathered using 26-item instrument focusing ACS symptoms appropriate...

Background— Patients with heart failure (HF) who live in rural areas have less access to cardiac services than patients urban areas. We conducted a randomized, clinical trial determine the impact of an educational intervention on composite end point HF rehospitalization and death this population. Methods Results— (n=602; age, 66±13 years; 41% female; 51% systolic HF) were randomized 1 3 groups: control (usual care), Fluid Watchers LITE, or PLUS. Both groups included face-to-face education...

We developed an image-based electrocardiographic (ECG) quality assessment technique that mimics how clinicians annotate ECG signal quality.We adopted the structural similarity measure (SSIM) to compare images of two records are obtained from displaying ECGs in a standard scale. Then, subset representative training set was selected as templates through clustering method. SSIM between each image and all were used feature vector for linear discriminant analysis classifier. also employed three...

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions have revolutionized our world, using extensive datasets and computational resources to create automatic tools for complex tasks that, until now, been performed by humans. Massive data is a fundamental aspect of the most powerful AI-based algorithms. However, healthcare solutions, there are several socioeconomic, technical/infrastructural, importantly, legal restrictions, which limit large collection access biomedical data, especially medical...

Scenario: A 78-year-old woman arrived at the emergency department (ED) with arm numbness, chest heaviness, and diaphoresis. She had undergone total knee replacement 2 weeks prior, complicated by hematoma fever, but no cardiac symptoms after surgery or discharge. At home, she began feeling discomfort days before her ED arrival. Her medical history included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, thrombocytopenia, asthma. In ED, vital signs were heart rate 82/min, respiratory 22/min, oxygen saturation...

Objective: To examine the association of symptoms persistent anxiety with development acute cardiac events in patients coronary heart disease (CHD) followed for 2 years. The prevalence is high CHD, but their effect on and mortality has not been well characterized. Methods: Of 3522 confirmed CHD enrolled, data were available at two time points 3048 who then up detection composite end point hospitalization myocardial infarction, unstable or stable angina, other causes, all-cause mortality. A...

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a potentially disabling condition requiring significant patient knowledge to manage the requirements of self-care. The need for self-care important all patients but particularly those living in rural areas that are geographically remote from healthcare services. Objective: aim this study was identify level with HF and clinical demographic characteristics associated low levels knowledge. Methods: Baseline data 612 enrolled Rural Education Improve Outcomes...

Abstract Background The common reality of not following a recommended course treatment is major cause poor health outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). purpose this study was to identify predictors adherence HF self‐care recommendations rural who received an intervention promote symptom management and self‐care. Methods Data from 349 (42% female, 90% Caucasian) randomized the arms were used. Adherence measured using European Heart Failure Self‐Care Scale questionnaire, brief measure...

As heart failure (HF) is a progressive, debilitating condition, life-long self-care required to achieve good outcomes. Rural residents with HF encounter more challenges adherence than their urban counterparts because of rural-urban inequalities related socioeconomic resources and access health care. To date, investigators have focused on in patients settings, although factors may be different between rural residents.The aim this study was explore the variables living areas.A total 580 USA...
