The needs of nursing care for Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients who performing Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) Program have been investigated previously. Despite, nutritional counseling and risk factors management were reported as the most needs of MI patients who performed CR Program, information related to the MI patients’ needs on nutritional counseling and risk factor management are very limited. Moreover, the relationship between patients’ needs on nutritional counseling and risk factor management are not clear yet. To investigate patients’ needs on nutritional counseling and risk factor management among MI patients and its relationships those factors. This was quantitative approach with descriptive correlational and convenience sampling was used for this study. The participants included 38 MI patients admitted to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit. Data collection employed from questionnaires that were filled in by the respondents using a retrospective technique at the end of cardiac rehabilitation program.  Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. The study signified that MI patients required cardiac rehabilitation towards risk factors management and nutritional counseling from nurses (92.1%).The finding also indicated that there is a statistically positive relationship between nutritional counseling needs and risk factor management (r = 0.503, p <0.01). Patients’ needs on nutritional counseling and risk factor management among MI patients are correlated positively. Therefore, the information regarding nutrition and risk factor management for MI patients should be provided simultaneously to complement each other.

Background: Several comorbidities are known to increase the risk of coronary artery disease. However, the relationship between modifiable risk factors and recurrent Myocardial Infarction (MI) has not been clearly defined. The purpose of our study was to assess if there were certain comorbidities that increase the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction. Methods: We reviewed 6,626 cases of MI at a single quaternary care medical center from January 1 st , 2010 to January 1 st , 2017 (29% STEMI, 71% NSTEMI), and we identified all cases of readmission with a recurrent MI within 90 days after index MI. All patients with index MI were screened for accompanying comorbidities and compared with patients with recurrent MI. Results: There were a total of 2051 readmissions (31%) within 90-days of index MI, of which 168 readmissions were for recurrent MI. Hypertension and Dyslipidemia appeared to be the most prominent modifiable risk factors in patients with index MI and recurrent MI (86%, 94% for HTN & 81%, 93% for DLP). All comorbidities were substantially more prevalent in patients with recurrent MI than in patients with index MI. Conclusion: Patients with recurrent MI have a higher risk factor burden than the general population with MI. This highlights the importance of risk factor management in patients with acute Myocardial infarction.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) control, needing different strategies, through patient education, lifestyle changes and therapeutic optimization is a central core of cardiac rehabilitation. However, further studies are needed to demonstrate effectiveness of home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR-HB) programs in controlling CVRF.   Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of a CR-HB program in controlling cardiovascular risk factors. Methods Prospective cohort study including patients who were previously participating in a centre-based CR program and accepted to participate in a CR-HB program due to forced closure of the centre-based CR program for COVID-19 pandemic. The CR-HB consisted of a multidisciplinary digital CR program, including patient regular assessment, exercise, educational, and psychological and relaxation sessions. A structured online educational program for patients and family members/caregivers was provided including educational videos, and powerpoints and webinars. A real time Webinar regarding "nutritional myths and facts" was organized with the duration of 90 minutes as a substitution of the regular face-to-face regular workshop provided at our centre-based CR program. Also, self-control of blood pressure and heart rate and of glycemia in diabetics were promoted, as well as smoking cessation. To assess the impact of the CR-HB on risk factors control, all the patients were submitted to a clinical and analytical evaluation before and after the end of this at distance program.  Results 116 cardiovascular disease patients (62.6 ± 8.9 years, 95 males) who were attending a face-to-face CR program were included in a CR-HB program. Almost 90% (n = 103) of the participants had coronary artery disease. Regarding risk factors, obesity was the most prevalent risk factor (74.7 %) followed by hypertension (59.6%), family history (41.8%), dyslipidaemia (37.9%), diabetes (18.1%), and smoking (12.9%).  Regarding the blood pressure control, 80% of the patients stated that almost daily they measured blood pressure at home; baseline systolic pressure decreased from 117 ± 13 to 113 ±12mmHg, p = 0.007, while there was no significant change in diastolic pressure.   The majority (76%) of diabetic patients said they controlled blood glucose; HbA1c decreased from 6.1 ± 1.1 to 5.9 ± 0.9mg/dL (p = 0.047). Considering the lipid profile, LDL decreased (from 75 ± 30 to 65 ± 26mg/dL, p = 0.012). The Nt-proBNP also decreased (818 ± 1332 vs 414pg/ml ± 591, p = 0.042). There were no other statistically significant differences concerning risk factors modification.  Conclusions Our study showed that a Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation program can improve or maintain cardiovascular risk factors control, which has important prognostic implications and is frequently a difficult task to achieve.

BackgroundThe SUrvey of Risk Factors (SURF) indicated poor control of risk factors in subjects with established coronary heart disease (CHD). The present study aimed to investigate determinants of risk factor management in patients with CHD.Methods and resultsSURF recruited 9987 consecutive patients with CHD from Europe, Asia and the Middle East between 2012 and 2013. Risk factor management was summarised as a Cardiovascular Health Index Score (CHIS) based on six risk factor targets (non-smoker/ex-smoker, body mass index <30, adequate exercise, controlled blood pressure, controlled low-density lipoprotein and controlled glucose). Logistic regression models assessed the associations between determinants (age, sex, family history, cardiac rehabilitation, previous hospital admission and diabetes) and achievement of moderate CHIS (≥3 risk factors controlled). The results are presented as OR with corresponding 95% CI. A moderate CHIS was less likely to be reached by women (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.00), those aged <55 years old (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.76) and those with diabetes (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.46). Attendance in cardiac rehabilitation was associated with better CHIS achievements (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.87). Younger Asian and European patients had poorer risk factor management, whereas for patients from the Middle East age was not significantly associated with risk factor management. The availability and applicability of cardiac rehabilitation varied by region.ConclusionsOverall, risk factor management was poorer in women, those younger than 55 years old, those with diabetes and those who did not participate in a cardiac rehabilitation. Determinants of cardiovascular risk factor management differed by region.

Modern cardiac rehabilitation represents a structured, multicomponent program, which includes physical activity, education of the patient, modification of the health behavior, and psychological and social support. In EU countries, only 44.8% of patients with ischemic heart disease receive a recommendation to participate in any form of rehabilitation, and only 36.5% of all patients presently have an access to any rehabilitation program. Systematic analysis of programs for prevention of cardiovascular diseases and for rehabilitation in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and percutaneous coronary intervention showed that complex programs can still reduce all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and frequency of recurrent MI and stroke. These programs include key components of cardiac rehabilitation, reduction of six or more risk factors, and effective control by drug therapy.

SummaryThe retrospective observational study surveys the relationship between development of inhibitors in the treatment of haemophilia patients and risk factors such as changing FVIII products. A total of 119 patients were included in this study, 198 changes of FVIII products were evaluated. Results: During the observation period of 12 months none of the patients developed an inhibitor, which was temporally associated with a change of FVIII products. A frequent change of FVIII products didn’t lead to an increase in inhibitor risk. The change between plasmatic and recombinant preparations could not be confirmed as a risk factor. Furthermore, no correlation between treatment regimens, severity, patient age and comorbidities of the patients could be found.

Abstract Background Left ventricular dysfunction after an acute myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with poor outcome. The PARADISE-MI trial is examining whether an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor reduces the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) in this population. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and prognosis of different subsets of post-MI patients in a real-world setting. Additionally, the prognostic importance of some common risk factors used as risk enrichment criteria in the PARADISE-MI trial were specifically examined. Methods In a nationwide myocardial infarction registry (SWEDEHEART), including 87 177 patients with type 1 MI between 2011–2018, 3 subsets of patients were identified in the overall MI cohort (where patients with previous HF were excluded); population 1 (n=27 568 (32%)) with signs of acute HF or an ejection fraction (EF) &lt;50%, population 2 (n=13 038 (15%)) with signs of acute HF or an EF &lt;40%, and population 3 (PARADISE-MI like) (n=11 175 (13%)) with signs of acute HF or an EF &lt;40% and at least one risk factor (Age ≥70, eGFR &lt;60, diabetes mellitus, prior MI, atrial fibrillation, EF &lt;30%, Killip III-IV and STEMI without reperfusion therapy). Results When all MIs, population 1 (HF or EF &lt;50%), 2 (HF or EF &lt;40%) and 3 (HF or EF &lt;40% + additional risk factor (PARADISE-MI like)) were compared, the median (IQR) age increased from 70 (61–79) to 77 (70–84). Also, the proportion of diabetes (22% to 33%), STEMI (38% to 50%), atrial fibrillation (10% to 24%) and Killip-class &gt;2 (1% to 7%) increased. After 3 years of follow-up, the cumulative probability of death or readmission because of heart failure in the overall MI population and in population 1 to 3 was 17.4%, 26.9%, 37.6% and 41.8%, respectively. In population 2, all risk factors were independently associated with death or readmission because of HF (Age ≥70 (HR (95% CI): 1.80 (1.66–1.95)), eGFR &lt;60 (1.62 (1.52–1.74)), diabetes mellitus (1.35 (1.26–1.44)), prior MI (1.16 (1.07–1.25)), atrial fibrillation (1.35 (1.26–1.45)), EF &lt;30% (1.69 (1.58–1.81)), Killip III-IV (1.34 (1.19–1.51)) and STEMI without reperfusion therapy (1.34 (1.21–1.48))) in a multivariable Cox regression analysis. The risk increased with increasing number of risk factors (Figure 1). Conclusion Depending on definition, post MI HF is present in 13–32% of all MI patients and is associated with a high risk of subsequent death or readmission because of HF. The risk increases significantly with every additional risk factor. There is a need to optimize management and improve outcomes for this high risk population.

IntroductionDelirium in the postoperative period is a wide-reaching problem that affects important clinical outcomes. The incidence and risk factors of delirium in individuals with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been completely determined and no relevant systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence or risk factors exists. Hence, we aim to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to ascertain the incidence and risk factors of delirium among AMI patients undergoing PCI.Methods and analysesWe will undertake a comprehensive literature search among PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar from their inception to the search date. Prospective cohort and cross-sectional studies that described the incidence or at least one risk factor of delirium will be eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome will be the incidence of postoperative delirium. The quality of included studies will be assessed using a risk of bias tool for prevalence studies and the Cochrane guidelines. Heterogeneity of the estimates across studies will be assessed. Incidence and risk factors associated with delirium will be extracted. Incidence data will be pooled. Each risk factor reported in the included studies will be recorded together with its statistical significance; narrative and meta-analytical approaches will be employed. The systematic review and meta-analysis will be presented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.Ethics and disseminationThis proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data, and thus there is no requirement for ethics approval. The study will provide an up to date and accurate incidence and risk factors of delirium after PCI among patients with AMI, which is necessary for future research in this area. The findings of this study will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020184388.
