Bridging the gap: addressing modifiable risk factors in atrial fibrillation patients following percutaneous coronary intervention
Constructive communication for stroke couples to improve relationship satisfaction and benefit findings: a commentary
The prognostic value of quality of life in heart failure: insights from the RECOLFACA registry: a commentary
Hypertension self-management trajectory patterns and associated factors among Chinese patients with aortic dissection after surgical repair: A longitudinal study
In patients with aortic dissection (AD) after surgical repair, especially those with hypertension, better management of blood pressure is associated with better health outcomes. The aim of this study is to identify hypertension self-management trajectory patterns and associated factors among Chinese aortic dissection patients after surgical repair to assist in developing tailored behavioural interventions for this population.
Association between Communication Patterns, Benefit Finding, and Relationship Satisfaction in Stroke Couples: An Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model
To explore the mediating role of relationship satisfaction between communication patterns and benefit findings in stroke couples using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model.
Patient-reported outcomes highlight the need for interventions addressing the body image concerns of patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Factors influencing patient engagement in decision making for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: a cross-sectional survey
Patient engagement in decision making could improve healthcare quality and health outcome, which has been emphasized in atrial fibrillation (AF) management guidelines. However, patients report relatively low level of engagement in decision making for catheter ablation (CA). Therefore, this study aims to explore the influencing factors of AF patient engagement in decision making for CA.
Sexual health after myocardial infarction: from an overlooked stigma to a professional advocacy action
Stakeholder perceptions of factors contributing to effective implementation of exercise cardiac telerehabilitation in clinical practice
Cardiac exercise telerehabilitation is effective and can be cost-effective for managing ischaemic heart disease, but implementation of evidence-based interventions in clinical practice remains a challenge. We aimed to identify factors that cardiac rehabilitation stakeholders perceived could influence the effectiveness of implementing an evidence-based, real-time remotely monitored cardiac exercise telerehabilitation intervention (REMOTE-CR).
Factors Associated with Patient Activation in People with Heart Failure based on the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory: A Cross-sectional Study
Patient activation (PA) is crucial for effective self-management of people with heart failure (HF). Clarifying factors associated with PA might be important to develop interventions to promote PA. This study aimed to explore Context factors associated with PA in people with HF.
Unpicking medication discontinuation and non-adherence in heart failure
Improving cultural competency of healthcare providers to reduce prehospital delays in care seeking among culturally and linguistically diverse populations
Optimizing heart failure services: a focus on patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Adapting cardiac telerehabilitation from research evidence to real-world implementation: engaging stakeholders
Beyond testing: understanding the patient perspective of medication adherence in hypertension
Pre-hospital delay intention and its associated factors in the high-risk population of stroke: A latent profile analysis
To explore the possible latent classifications of pre-hospital delayed intention at high risk of stroke and to analyze the characteristics of different profiles.
Psychological Factors and Blood Pressure Responses to Acute Stress in Women with Takotsubo Syndrome: An Exploratory Study
This secondary analysis aimed to: 1) describe psychological resources and distress in women with Takotsubo Syndrome (TS), and 2) explore whether such factors affect blood pressure (BP) responses to acute mental stress.
Facilitators and barriers to perform physical activity in patients post-heart transplantation: a qualitative study
Most patients experience barriers for becoming physical active post-heart transplantation. Therefore, identifying barriers and facilitators can help healthcare professionals in developing physical activity programs. This study aimed to explore the physical activity experiences, perceived barriers, and facilitators to perform physical activity of patients' post-heart transplantation.
Prevalence, trends, and outcomes of same-day discharge following elective percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective observational cohort study using routinely-collected health data
To identify the prevalence, trends, and outcomes of same-day discharge following elective percutaneous coronary intervention among six public hospitals in one Australian State.
