Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) are at heightened risk for acute exacerbation requiring hospitalization. Although timely reporting of symptoms can expedite outpatient treatment and avoid the need hospitalization, few patients recognize respond to until acutely ill. Objective: The purpose this study was explore patients’ perceptions self-care behaviors symptom relief, leading up a HF Methods: To examine prehospitalization scenarios, semistructured interviews were conducted 60...
Background— This trial tested the effects of multidisciplinary group clinic appointments on primary outcome time to first heart failure (HF) rehospitalization or death. Methods and Results— HF patients (n=198) were randomly assigned standard care plus clinics. The intervention consisted 4 weekly 1 booster at month 6, where professionals engaged in self-management skills. Data collected prospectively for 12 months beginning after completion (2 post randomization). was associated with greater...
Purpose: Lay consultations can facilitate or impede healthcare.However, little is known about how lay for symptom evaluation affect treatment decision-making.The purpose of this study was to explore the role in prior hospitalization among patients with heart failure.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted 60 hospitalized acute decompensated failure.Chisquare and Fisher's exact tests, along logistic regression used characterize sample. Results:A large proportion engaged...
Background: Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is an important aspect diagnosing and treating patients with cardiovascular disease. While cardiac MRI considered the gold standard for assessing LVEF, high cost patient risk has precluded routine use in clinical practice. Echocardiography a common non-invasive, safe, economic method LVEF. Traditionally, these measures required making visual determinations, resulting wide variations LVEF estimates. Using calculations from...
Aims: The aim of this project was to describe patient perceptions seeking lay advice in symptom evaluation prior hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 90 patients hospitalized Frequencies and Chi-square tests used characterize consultations before hospitalization. Results: Seventy-five (83.3%) consulted persons their social networks about symptoms Forty-six (52.3%) received attributions from consultants, most often...
Problem. Heart failure (HF) clinical trials often use medical record review data to determine HF related hospital events, such as emergency room visits and readmissions. However, reviewing records for each event can be daunting. The purpose of this project was expedite processes using an automated method identifying potential events. Methods. A stepwise procedure developed obtaining electronic information all consented trial participants' First, list study participants generated from a base...
