The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends in awareness cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among women between 1997 and 2012 by racial/ethnic age groups, as well knowledge CVD symptoms preventive behaviors/barriers.
Background— Awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has been linked to taking preventive action in women. The purpose this study was assess contemporary awareness CVD and barriers prevention a nationally representative sample women evaluate trends since 1997 from similar triennial surveys. Methods Results— A standardized survey about completed 2009 by 1142 ≥25 years age, contacted through random digit dialing oversampled for racial/ethnic minorities, 1158 online. There significant...
Differences in activation of emergency medical services (EMS) may contribute to racial/ethnic and sex disparities stroke outcomes. The purpose this study was determine whether EMS use varied by race/ethnicity among a current, diverse national sample hospitalized acute patients.We analyzed data from 398,798 patients admitted 1613 Get With Guidelines-Stroke participating hospitals between October 2011 March 2014. Multivariable logistic regression used evaluate the associations combinations...
Validated depression and anxiety symptom screeners are commonly used in clinical settings. How results from different brief assessment tools compare to each other is not well established, especially real world healthcare This study aimed the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 scale (DASS-Depression) (DASS-Anxiety) Patient Health Questionnaire 8 (PHQ-8) Generalized Disorder 7 (GAD-7) respectively, a real-world virtual behavioral setting.This was retrospective comparison of data population...
Background: Reducing the rate of rehospitalization among heart failure patients is a major public health challenge; medication non-adherence crucial factor shown to trigger rehospitalizations. Objective: To collect pilot data inform design educational interventions targeted and their caregivers improve adherence. Methods: Heart with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator family were recruited from outpatient electrophysiology clinic at urban university medical center (N = 10 caregiver...
Racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes risk factors are well documented, but few data have evaluated population differences CVD knowledge, preventive action, barriers to prevention.
To determine whether caregiver burdens are associated with lifestyle behaviors 1 year following the hospitalization of a family member cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Introduction Digital mental health treatments (DMHTs) have begun to be implemented in some healthcare systems across the United States. These implementations are conducted as business arrangements. Thus, information on successful or unsuccessful is not published disseminated. This slows progress, experiences and learnings siloed within each organization, hindering preventing learning slowing progress. To address this, Society for Mental Health established a DMHT Implementation Workgroup,...
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in awareness heart disease among women according race/ethnicity by age group, adjusted for confounders. Methods: American Heart Association (AHA) National Surveys conducted 2006 (n=1005) and 2009 (n=1142) were pooled using common variables (n=2147) reweighted reflect the 2010 United States Census. comprised standardized, interviewer-assisted demographic questions. Associations between racial/ethnic group stratified assessed...
Recognition of stroke warning signs may reduce treatment delays. The purpose this study was to evaluate contemporary knowledge and call 9-1-1, among a nationally representative sample women, overall by race/ethnic group.
Depression is prevalent among individuals with diabetes and associated suboptimal self-management. Little known about the feasibility potential impact of tele-behavioral therapy to improve depressive symptoms self-management patients.This was a retrospective observational study consecutive graduates enrolled in national 8-week behavioral telehealth program between August 1, 2014, January 31, 2015 (N = 466; mean age 56.8 ± 5.0 years; 56% female). Participant characteristics (demographics,...
Background: Veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used for patients with refractory cardiopulmonary failure. This study evaluates the short-term (to discharge) and longer-term (1 year) survival among older (⩾65 years) versus younger (<65 adults, adjusted comorbidities, in a diverse cohort of V-A ECMO patients. Methods: was retrospective analysis 131 adult (28% ⩾65 years old) who received at an academic medical center from 2004-2013....
Background and Objectives: Cardiac caregivers may represent a novel low-cost strategy to improve patient adherence medical follow-up guidelines and, ultimately, outcomes. Prior work on caregiving has been conducted primarily in mental health cancer research; few data have systematically evaluated of cardiac patients. The purpose this study was evaluate the patterns characteristics among hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) assess disparities caregiver burden determine...
Family members of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have higher risk vascular events. We conducted a trial to determine if family heart-health intervention could reduce their CAD.We assessed factors and randomized 426 CAD (n = 211) or control 215). The included feedback about factors, assistance goal setting counselling from health educators for 12 months. Reports were sent the primary care physicians whose lipid levels blood pressure exceeded threshold values. All participants...
Behavioral health issues are common among patients with comorbid medical conditions but often go unrecognized or untreated, resulting in worse clinical outcomes and avoidable expenditures. This column describes an innovative telehealth solution that includes proactive targeted patient identification engagement nationwide delivery of a technology-enabled, standardized, evidence-based behavioral program delivered via phone video. A retrospective before-after evaluation the demonstrated...
Secondary prevention improves survival, yet implementation is suboptimal. We tested the impact of a systematic hospital-based educational intervention vs. usual care to improve rates adherence secondary guidelines among women hospitalized with coronary heart disease (CHD), according their ethnic status.
Background: Patients who have undergone cardiac surgery, especially those with greater comorbidities, may be cared for by family members or paid aides. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between having a caregiver among patients underwent surgery and clinical outcomes at 1 year. We hypothesized that would longer lengths stay higher rehospitalization death rates year after surgery. Methods: studied 665 consecutively admitted as part Family Cardiac Caregiver...
