Cardiovascular Disease ( Cvd )

In the UK, reports show that heart failure has been affecting up to 2% of the population, over 900,000 people are living with heart failure, with 63,000 new cases being diagnosed each year (BHF, 2015). It costs the NHS £625 million per year, as a result of the high portion of emergency admissions, readmission and long length of inpatient stay (NHS Improvement, 2010). DH (2000) confirmed that Heart failure accounts for all cardiac admissions and the readmission rate can be as high as 50% within 3 months; also, it further estimated 50% readmission might be preventable. Unfortunately, Heart Failure can’t be cured, but early

Post hospital stay and admission of the cardiac patient post cardiac event will be provided education on cardiac rehabilitation programs. The length of cardiac rehabilitation programs differ according to the cardiac patient’s condition, cardiac health needs the patient requires and the cardiac event the patient has encountered. Cardiac rehabilitation programs are provided in an outpatient clinic or may also be implemented in the cardiac patients home. Cardiac rehabilitation in a patient’s home is inclusive of, telephone support, online Heart Education Assessment and Rehabilitation Toolkit (HEART), and home visits from services in the community, (Recommended Framework for Cardiac Rehabilitation, 2004). Cardiac rehabilitation programs require expertise from a range of professionals from the multidisciplinary team including, a cardiologist, a cardiac rehabilitation nurse, physician, dietician,

Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are a growing problem around the world today. Not only do diseases such as diabetes and heart disease affect individuals and their lifestyles, they also affect the economy, politics, education and the professional work environment. 20-26% of individuals in the United States live with heart disease, and obesity and high blood pressure compose the greatest factors for developing this disease [20]. Studies have shown a direct correlation between the amount of sedentary time and cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, regardless of baseline measurements [20]. Thus, increase in physical activity will decrease cardiometabolic risk factors [8]. Several studies indicate a positive correlation between physical activity and decreased cardiometabolic risk markers [2,4,11,16]. However, we now know that an individual who is getting the recommended physical activity per day can still have a large amount of sedentary time.

Cardiovascular disease has reportedly been the number one disease killer for men and women in the United States of America. Every one out of four deaths is caused by heart disease in the United States alone (Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention). Heart disease refers to the different types of conditions and symptoms that can affect the one’s heart and its functions to the body (Mayo Clinic). Cardiovascular/Heart disease has many causes and conditions, prevention methods and symptoms, and treatment options.

As was previously briefly discussed, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is well recognised as being effective in CVD management and secondary prevention and is a common intervention, supported by the Australian state and federal government policy (7, 8). (7, 8). Improved clinical and behavioural outcomes have been found due to CR, such as a reduction in successive cardiovascular events and hospitalisation as well improved survival rates (7). CR services are multi-factorial and deliver guidance and education for

Heart Failure is when the heart cannot move the right amount of blood throughout the body to meet the requirement. Heart failure entails four stages, A through D. Stage D Heart Failure is where a person’s symptoms are unmanageable. If someone with the following health problems: coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, they are at risk for being diagnosed with Heart Failure. Currently, there is not a cure for this disease; however, there are several ways to manage it. Someone with this disease can get treated by taking medication, use of devices, or by surgical means. A trial that this paper will focus on is Randomized Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance for the Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure (REMATCH), which

Heart failure (CHF) is a chronic illness of the heart where the heart muscles are not able to pump blood efficiently (Lange, 2011). Mrs. Lee is recently diagnosed with Chronic Heart failure and during her one week stay at the hospital has been getting bedside education by the nurse. As she is getting discharged, it is important for Mrs. Lee to review the

The cardiac rehabilitation program at Civista Medical Center (CMC) will be supervised by professionals with the aim of helping people recuperate from cardiac events, surgery, and cardiac procedures. The program will be designed to

I will be sharing with you, my experience with an outpatient cardiac rehab patient named James (hypothetical name). He is a 65 y/o male, s/p Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device (CF-LVAD) due to an end stage heart failure and ischemic cardiomyopathy. Also, he is also receiving pharmacologic therapy for his cardiac disease, anxiety disorder and benign prostatic hypertrophy. James CF-LVAD is a bridge to heart transplant, and the physical therapist’s role is to optimize his cardiovascular function and overall conditioning in preparation for a heart transplant. Haennel (2012, p. 28) emphasizes the significance of proper exercise rehabilitation and health benefits associated with physical activity training for patients with cardiac device implants.

While some of us do not experience having any kind of cardiovascular diseases, there are others who have to go through the complications of having one of them. Not only do people have exposure to having a cardiovascular disease, but there are different kinds of them that can affect different areas of your body. For example, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease (stroke), peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital heart disease are the six different types of CVDs.

Cardiac rehabilitations are recommended for patients to prevent future health problems and increase physical activity for a better quality of life. Although, cardiac rehabilitation's have been underused throughout the years. The primary reason for encouraging patients to enroll in cardiac rehab is not only to prevent future heart problems, but to improve psychological status, cardiovascular function, and prevent future heart problems. In this study, a questionnaire was mailed out to directors of exercise programs that met the criteria for the design and method. The criteria stated the exercise program is designed and operated for cardiac patients, a medical examination is required on entry and annually, all exercise sessions are medically

This literature review will cover 20 different articles and journals pertaining to cardiovascular disease (CVD), high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, hypertension and other coronary heart disease among the Muslim community. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the decreasing of blood flow due to condensing and toughening of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles. A recent study found that every 33 seconds, there are death from CVD in the United States (ARA, 2004). The main problems associated with CVD among Muslim American adult men population in the Southeast Bronx are diet issues, high blood pressure, lack of enough information about CVD, lack of physical activities, and “halal” (not prohibited in Islam) medications. To date no research has been conducted on this population with regards to cardiovascular diseases. The population is increasing and healthcare professionals need to become educated on cultural competent approaches for this population. Healthcare professionals need to increase their knowledge about the Islamic religion (Yosef et. al. 2008).

Cardiac rehab is an individualized program consisting of education, exercise, nutrition and support. In recent years, cardiac rehabilitation has become a multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted intervention aimed at restoring well-being and impeding disease progression in patients with heart disease (Garza, Wason and Zhang, 2015). High-quality evidence has demonstrated that cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves outcomes after cardiac surgery or myocardial infarction, improving adherence to evidence-based care and both the quality and quantity of life (Bahia, Holt, Ray, Ussher, Poloniecki, Sharma, Bown, Hinchliffe, Thompson and Karthikesalingam, 2015). Cardiac rehabilitation can improve cardiopulmonary function and positively affects risk factors for heart disease (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia), reduces the recurrence rate of acute myocardial infarction, reduces mortality rate by 20–24%, and improves quality of life (Chen et al., 2015).

Cardiac rehabilitation is a treatment program that helps improve the health and well-being of people with heart problems. Cardiac rehabilitation includes exercise training, education, and counseling to help you get stronger and return to an active lifestyle. This program can help you get better faster and reduce any future hospital stays.

Cardiac Rehabilitation programme is offered to patients post myocardial infarction. Rehabilitation is defined by the Royal College of Nursing RCN, (2000,pg.3) as re-enablement which means "helping people adapt to changes in their life circumstances." Cardiac rehabilitation is defined by Jowcett and Thompson 1996 cited in Noy (1998,pg.1033) as "the process by which patients with coronary heart disease are enabled to achieve their optimal physical, emotional, social and economic status". Furthermore, it is also defined by the World Health Organisation WHO, (1993) cited in the National Service Framework for coronary heart disease DOH, (2000,pg.3) as the "sum of activities required to influence favourably the underlying cause of the disease, as well as the best possible physical, mental and social conditions, so that they (people) may, by their own efforts preserve or resume when lost, as normal a place as possible in the community". Rehabilitation is a complex activity that requires contributions from many members of the healthcare team. Rehabilitation is a planned, goal-directed activity that requires assessment and re-assessment using standardised measures to monitor progress. It must include patients and their families and friends.
