Care Behavior

Background: Patients with heart failure need to be engaged in adequate cardiac self-care behaviors helping to prevent the development of the disease and ameliorate their health status. However, the conceptual model of the present study has not been tested in previous studies among patients with heart failure. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the psychosocial determinants based on Pender’s health promotion model (HPM) affecting self-care behavior among outpatients suffering from heart failure. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 200 patients suffering from heart failure were selected from the outpatient clinics of Tabriz, Iran, using convenience sampling and assessed for self-self-care behaviors and major concepts of HPM via self-administered questionnaires. Path analysis was used in order to analyze the conceptual model Results: The present hypothetical model showed a good fit. Perceived benefits and activity-related effects directly affected self-care behaviors. Bootstrapping mediation analyses indicated that perceived self-efficacy, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, and activity-related effects indirectly affected self-care behaviors through commitment to action. Conclusions: The commitment to action can help to promote self-care behaviors among the subjects suffering from heart failure. The interventions should take the role of predictive variables of this study and commitment to action into account in these patients.

The Relationship

Assessing self-care is important aspects among patients with heart failure. However, few studies were conducted to assess self-care among patients with heart failure in Jordan. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the most and the least performed maintenance self-care behaviors and to examine the relationship between maintenance self-care behaviors and selected sociodemographics. A cross-sectional design utilizing a convenience sample of 226 patients with heart failure was used. The maintenance self-care mean was 53.89 and considered below the clinical target level (≥70). Asking for low salt item and performing physical exercises were the most performed self-care behaviors, while “trying to avoid getting sick” and “checking ankles for swelling” were the least performed self-care behaviors. Limited self-care behaviors indicated the need to implement cardiac education that may improve self-care behaviors. Cardiac education should target mainly patients with low income, low educational level, elderly, living alone, unemployed, and who are using traditional treatment.

Background Impaired exercise capacity is a significant symptom of CKD and is associated with poor survival. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in applying exercise as a diagnostic tool or as therapy in CKD. However, an in-depth understanding of exercise physiology in CKD is still lacking. Methods To evaluate the role of cardiac (central) and noncardiac (peripheral) determinants of exercise capacity in CKD, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 70 male CKD patients (stages 2-5) without diabetes or cardiac disease, 35 healthy controls, and 25 patients with heart failure. An integrated cardiopulmonary exercise test using a CO2 rebreathing technique was used to measure peak O2 consumption (VO2peak) and peak cardiac output simultaneously, and to calculate peak peripheral O2 extraction [C(a-v)O2], the peripheral determinant (the ability of exercising skeletal muscles to extract oxygen). We performed multiple regression analysis and used Bayesian information criteria (BIC) changes to quantitatively assess the individual contribution of central and peripheral factors. Results Compared with healthy controls, in patients with CKD, the VO2peak was impaired proportionate to its severity. Peak cardiac output was the predominant determinant of VO2peak in healthy controls and patients with heart failure, whereas C(a-v)O2 played a more significant role in determining VO2peak in CKD (β=0.68, P<0.001) compared with cardiac output (β=0.63, P<0.001). In addition, the magnitude of BIC reduction was greater for C(a v)O2 compared with cardiac output (BIC, 298.72 versus 287.68) in CKD. Conclusions In CKD, both peak cardiac output and peak C(a-v)O2 are independent predictors of VO2peak, and the more significant role played by peak C(a-v)O2 highlights the importance of noncardiac factors in determining exercise capacity in CKD.

Background: An increasing number of people around the world suffer from cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients with mild to moderate LV dysfunction, and it is most prominent in these patients. Despite advancements in care and treatment options like catheter ablation, managing AF is still a therapeutic challenge even with these advances. Aim/Objective: To determine the frequency of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 246 patients at Adult Cardiology, NICVD, Karachi for Six months after approval from 31-08-2019 till 29-02-2020. Patients' consent was obtained verbally before data were collected prospectively. There were 246 patients with heart failure who had been diagnosed and met the diagnostic criteria. An overview of the event's history was gathered, as well as demographic data. Qualitative variables were presented as frequency and percentages, while quantitative data were given as simple descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. A p-value of 0.05 or lower is considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 246 patients with heart failure were included in this study. The mean age in our study was 56.78±2.81 years. Whereas, mean BNP and ejection fraction in our study was 1144±87.81 pg./ml and 34.65±4.14 %. 136 (55.3%) were male and 110 (44.7%) were female. Out of 246 patients with heart failure, 52 (21.1%) had atrial fibrillation and 194 (78.9%) did not have atrial fibrillation. Conclusion: The results of this research demonstrated that a large percentage of heart failure patients had atrial fibrillation. Thus, it is essential to focus on a comprehensive way of management of heart failure and its comorbidities rather than primarily treating the cardiac symptoms. Keywords: Heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
