Factors Influencing Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Health Perception Among Kentuckians Living in Appalachia
In this study, the relationship among gender, CVD risk factors, and health perception in Appalachians from Kentucky was explored.
Methods:
This cross-sectional secondary analysis is from a randomized controlled trial on CVD health in rural Kentucky. To assess gender differences in smoking history, χ2 was used. Independent t tests compared the mean between participants 50 years or younger and those older than 50 years with differences in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1C, total cholesterol, and physical activity. A multivariate linear regression analysis as...

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Flat Times Versus Standard Care in Pediatric Patients Post Cardiac Catheterization
Conclusions
For pediatric patients undergoing arterial or venous cardiac catheterizations, flat times can safely be reduced without increasing site bleeding, additional sedation, or critical care admissions. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Self-reported and Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity in Children With Cardiomyopathy
Conclusion
Accelerometer measurement in children with cardiomyopathy is an achievable and more objective measure of PA compared with parental report alone and highlighted low levels of PA among these children. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Energy Balance-Related Behaviors and Body Mass Index in Asian School-Aged Children With Congenital Heart Disease
Conclusions
Sedentary lifestyle is seemingly the only EBRB correlated with being overweight. Physical activity programs for children may help prevent and treat overweight or obesity in Asian CCHD, similar to Western countries. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Perceived Learning Needs of Patients With Heart Failure in Jordan: Perspectives of Patients, Caregivers, and Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Survey
Conclusions
Although some similarities exist, there are important differences among the 3 groups on perceived importance of information. Understanding these differences may be critical in developing a tailored educational program for patients and caregivers and improving nursing practice. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Supporting the Health and Well-being of Caregivers: Co-design in Practice at a Canadian Cardiac Care Center
Conclusion
Developing feasible and relevant approaches, such as informational support instruments, to meet the needs of the growing population of CVD caregivers is essential.
Clinical Implications
Although co-design processes are often complex, take more time and resources to implement, and involve multiple levels of an organization and community than traditional practices, these efforts may help to improve healthcare quality to stem the burden of CVD.

Decreasing Heart Failure Readmissions Among Older Patients With Cognitive Impairment by Engaging Caregivers
Conclusions
Involving caregivers in discharge education significantly reduced 30-day readmission rates for patients with HF and cognitive impairment. The Readmission Risk Score was similar between patients older than 70 years with and without cognitive impairment. We have hypothesis-generating evidence that identification of cognitive impairment and targeted caregiver engagement by nurses may be critical in the reduction of readmission rates for older patients with HF.

The Influence of Caregiver Preparedness on Caregiver Contributions to Self-care in Heart Failure and the Mediating Role of Caregiver Confidence
Conclusions
Caregiver confidence may play a role in CC to self-care. Interventions to improve CC to HF self-care should not only be focused on improving caregiver preparedness but also should consider the role of caregiver confidence. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

The Relationship Between Caregiver Reactions and Psychological Distress in Family Caregivers of Patients With Heart Failure
Conclusions
The findings suggest that interventions for reducing the negative impact on schedule of caregiving and helping to solve the caregivers' financial concerns might help to relieve their symptoms of depression and anxiety. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)
