ObjectivesTo enhance adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a patient education programme called ‘learning and coping’ (LC-programme) was implemented in three hospitals in Denmark. The aim of this study was to investigate the cost–utility of the LC-programme compared with the standard CR-programme.Methods825 patients with ischaemic heart disease or heart failure were randomised to the LC-programme or the standard CR-programme and were followed for 3 years.A societal cost perspective was applied and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) were based on SF-6D measurements. Multiple imputation technique was used to handle missing data on the SF-6D. The statistical analyses were based on means and bootstrapped SEs. Regression framework was employed to estimate the net benefit and to illustrate cost-effectiveness acceptability curves.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found between the two programmes in total societal costs (4353 Euros; 95% CI –3828 to 12 533) or in QALY (–0.006; 95% CI –0.053 to 0.042). At a threshold of 40 000 Euros, the LC-programme was found to be cost-effective at 15% probability; however, for patients with heart failure, due to increased cost savings, the probability of cost-effectiveness increased to 91%.ConclusionsWhile the LC-programme did not appear to be cost-effective in CR, important heterogeneity was noted for subgroups of patients. The LC-programme was demonstrated to increase adherence to the rehabilitation programme and to be cost-effective among patients with heart failure. However, further research is needed to study the dynamic value of heterogeneity due to the small sample size in this subgroup.

A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma síndrome clínica sistêmica complexa em que a disfunção cardíaca ocasiona suprimento sanguíneo inadequado para atender as necessidades metabólicas dos tecidos. Objetivou-se analisar as características funcionais pulmonares e suas repercussões em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca de um Hospital Universitário da cidade de Fortaleza/CE. Pesquisa de campo, seccional, realizada no período de agosto de 2012 a novembro de 2013. A amostra foi composta por 20 pacientes portadores de IC (Classes II e III). Foram excluídos os pacientes que apresentaram alterações ósteomioarticulares, e os que participaram de programas de reabilitação. As avaliações consistiram em analisar as pressões inspiratórias e expiratórias máximas, o pico de fluxo expiratório e a espirometria. Na amostra pesquisada 60% (n=12) eram do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 55,3 ± 2,77 anos, 80% (n=16) eram casados, 55% (n=11) tinham como causa da IC a miocardiopatia dilatada e 40% (n=8) apresentaram fração de ejeção variando entre 36 ˫ 40%. Em relação às comorbidades apenas 30% (n=6) apresentaram diabetes, 90% (n=18) hipertensão e 40% (n=8) dislipidemia. Em relação à avaliação da musculatura respiratória, e da função pulmonar, observou-se que os valores médios foram menores significativamente quando comparados ao previsto, porém sem significância quando comparados entre as classes funcionais II e III. Houve maior prevalência de IC entre pacientes do sexo masculino, casados, em decorrência de miocardiopatia dilatada hipertensiva, com FEVE de 36 ˫ 40%. Estes pacientes tendem a reduzir à força muscular respiratória, o pico de fluxo e a função pulmonar. As classes funcionais II e III não apresentaram diferenças significativas em relação aos valores previstos em relação às variáveis analisadas. ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL PULMONARY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR REPERCUSSIONS IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE ABSTRACT Heart failure (HF) is a complex systemic clinical syndrome in which cardiac dysfunction causes inadequate blood supply to meet the tissues' metabolic needs. The aim of this study was to analyze the pulmonary functional characteristics and their repercussions in patients with heart failure at a University Hospital in the city of Fortaleza / CE. Field research, sectional, performed from August 2012 to November 2013. The sample consisted of 20 patients with HF (Classes II and III). Patients who presented osteomioarticular alterations and those who participated in rehabilitation programs were excluded. The evaluations consisted of analyzing maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, peak expiratory flow, and spirometry. In the studied sample, 60% (n = 12) were males, with a mean age of 55.3 ± 2.77 years, 80% (n = 16) were married, 55% (n = 11) had as causes to CI the dilated cardiomyopathy and 40% (n = 8) had an ejection fraction ranging from 36 to 40%. Regarding comorbidities, only 30% (n = 6) presented diabetes, 90% (n = 18) hypertension and 40% (n = 8) dyslipidemia. Regarding respiratory muscle evaluation and pulmonary function, it was observed that mean values were significantly lower when compared to predicted, but without significance when compared between functional classes II and III. There was a higher prevalence of HF among male patients, married, due to hypertensive dilated cardiomyopathy, with LVEF of 36 ˫ 40%. These patients tend to reduce respiratory muscle strength, peak flow, and lung function. Functional classes II and III did not present significant differences in relation to predicted values and variables analyzed.

And Coping

This cross-sectional study, based in implementation intention theory, describes action plans developed by women with hypertension (n=49) to add no more than 4g of salt per day to food and to reduce consumption of salty foods, as well as describing the barriers perceived and the coping strategies adopted for putting the action plans into practice. The plans were categorized according to similarities and were submitted to frequency analysis. The majority of the action and coping plans had to do with the effectuation of the behavior involving adding up to 4g of salt per day per person to food. The action strategies were aimed at quantifying the salt added, and the main obstacles were related to the reduced palatability of the food made with less salt. The coping plans have to do with preparing foods separately and to using natural seasonings instead of salt. This data can help the nurse to design activities for clinical education, with a view to reducing salt consumption among patients who prepare their own food.

(1) Background: There is much debate about the use of salt-restricted diet for managing heart failure (HF). Dietary guidelines are inconsistent and lack evidence. (2) Method: The OFICSel observatory collected data about adults hospitalised for HF. The data, collected using study-specific surveys, were used to describe HF management, including diets, from the cardiologists’ and patients’ perspectives. Cardiologists provided the patients’ clinical, biological, echocardiography, and treatment data, while the patients provided dietary, medical history, sociodemographic, morphometric, quality of life, and burden data (burden scale in restricted diets (BIRD) questionnaire). The differences between the diet recommended by the cardiologist, understood by the patient, and the estimated salt intake (by the patient) and diet burden were assessed. (3) Results: Between March and June 2017, 300 cardiologists enrolled 2822 patients. Most patients (90%) were recommended diets with <6 g of salt/day. Mean daily salt consumption was 4.7 g (standard deviation (SD): 2.4). Only 33% of patients complied with their recommended diet, 34% over-complied, and 19% under-complied (14% unknown). Dietary restrictions in HF patients were associated with increased burden (mean BIRD score of 8.1/48 [SD: 8.8]). (4) Conclusion: Healthcare professionals do not always follow dietary recommendations, and their patients do not always understand and comply with diets recommended. Restrictive diets in HF patients are associated with increased burden. An evidence-based approach to developing and recommending HF-specific diets is required.
