Network Analysis on Family Resilience, Fear of Progression, and Quality of Life in Chinese Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Mengqi LIU, Xiaoli WANG, Zeping YAN, Zhiwei WANG, Huimin WEI, Jiurui WANG, Xiaorong LUAN
The long-term quality of life of Chinese patients with pulmonary hypertension has been seriously compromised. Interventions to enhance patient quality of life of are urgently required. To investigate the relationship between quality of life and its influencing factors in patients through network analysis. 247 patients with pulmonary hypertension in 3 hospitals in Jinan, Shandong Province, self-reported

Physiological and psychological outcomes of high intensity interval training in patients with heart failure compared to moderate continuous training and usual care: A systematic review with meta analysis Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Kara Callum, Paul Swinton, Trish Gorely, Daniel Crabtree, Stephen Leslie
An important component of secondary prevention of CVD (including HF) is comprehensive cardiac rehab, including exercise. Novel, individualised approaches are needed to increase uptake and adherence to exercise programmes, one area offering potential is HIIT. HIIT has been shown to be both safe and effective for improving cardiovascular fitness in both coronary artery disease and HF patients. To provide

Comparison of the effects of high and low-moderate load lower limb resistance training on muscle strength and exercise capacity in individuals with COPD: A systematic review and meta-analysis Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-20 Ceyhun Topcuoğlu, Melda Sağlam, Naciye Vardar Yağlı
Extrapulmonary changes also occur in COPD. Resistance training can increase muscle strength and exercise capacity. The objective of this systematic review was to examine and compare the effectiveness of high and low-moderate load lower limb resistance training on muscle strength and exercise capacity in individuals with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The PubMed/Medline, Scopus

Correlation between peripheral endothelial function, oxygen consumption and ventilatory efficiency in heart transplantation recipients Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Juliana Andrade Ferreira de Souza, Aparecida Maria Catai, Sílvia Cristina Garcia de Moura-Tonello, Bruna T.S. Araújo, Ana Eugênia V.R. Barros, Maria Inês Remígio de Aguiar, Shirley Lima Campos, Armèle Dornelas de Andrade, Daniella Cunha Brandão
Endothelial dysfunction and peak oxygen uptake (VO) are also predictors of increased risk of cardiovascular events in heart transplantation (HTx) recipients. The preservation of endothelial function may contribute to exercise tolerance. To investigate the correlation between peripheral endothelial function and exercise tolerance through VO and ventilation to carbon dioxide production slope (VE / VCO)

Racial and ethnic disparities in bystander resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-09 Yuting Pu M.D., Guifang Yang M.D., Xiangping Chai M.D.
Bystander-provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CRP) influences the survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). Disparities on bystander resuscitation measures between Black, Hispanic, Asians and Non-Hispanic White OHCAs is unclear. Examining racial and ethnic differences in bystander resuscitations is essential to better target interventions. 15,542 witnessed OHCAs were identified

Predictors of postoperative physical functional decline at hospital discharge in elderly patients with prolonged intensive care unit stay after cardiac surgery Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-08 Yosuke Honda, Keisuke Honma, Shuuji Nishimura, Shiomi Nakao, Naoki Sasanuma, Eri Manabe, Yuuki Uchiyama, Keiko Takahashi, Taichi Sakaguchi, Kazuhisa Domen
A prolonged stay in the intensive care (ICU) is associated with physical function decline following cardiac surgery. To predict physical function decline after cardiac surgery, it may be important to evaluate physical function in the ICU. This study aimed to determine that physical function examination at ICU discharge was independently associated with physical functional decline at hospital discharge

The 6-minute walk test and fall risk in patients with heart failure: A cross-sectional study Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-08 Hazal Yakut Ozdemir PhD PT, Cemile Bozdemir Ozel PhD PT, Muhammet Dural MD, Halit Emre Yalvac MD, Aytug Al MD, Selda Murat MD, Gurbet Ozge Mert MD, Yuksel Cavusoglu MD
Given the increased risk of falls in patients with heart failure (HF), there is limited information in the literature about the possible relationship between fall risk and functional capacity. To investigate the relationship between functional capacity and fall risk in patients with HF and to determine whether there are differences in clinical parameters between patients with and without fall risk

Prognostic value of hemoglobin in patients with sepsis: A systematic review and meta-analysis Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-08 Jin Zhu, Yanyan Dong, Pengda Liao, Xin Yin, Jianzhuo He, Liheng Guo
Background: Sepsis patients have a high mortality rate and are frequently anemic. The importance of early detection and blood transfusion treatment cannot be overstated. Objective: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published literature was conducted to evaluate the association between hemoglobin and the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Chinese

The effect of self-disclosure on loneliness among patients with coronary heart disease: The chain mediating effect of social support and sense of coherence Heart Lung (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Jingwen Zhang RN BSN, Xiancheng Xiang RN BSN, Xiaoli Yang RN BSN, Qian Mei RN BSN, Li Cheng RN MSN
Loneliness is prevalent in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). It has a serious impact on the physical and mental health and the quality of life of patients with CHD. However, what factors contribute to loneliness and the mechanism of action still need to be explored. To explore the chain mediating effect among self-disclosure, social support, sense of coherence and loneliness in patients with
