Determinants of High-Sodium Food Intake Among Indonesian Patients With Hypertension
Conclusions
High-sodium snacks and condiments added while cooking were frequently consumed among patients with hypertension in Indonesia. Understanding the factors associated with intention to follow a low-sodium diet will assist nurses to design effective interventions that promote adherence to the low-sodium diet among those with hypertension.

Malnutrition, Family Support, and Possible Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Conclusions
The nutrition level was higher among participants without sarcopenia than those with possible sarcopenia. Approximately 90% of the participants indicated that they had high family support. Demographic factors and albumin levels could be used to evaluate risk of malnutrition. Patients without possible sarcopenia showed greater improvement in NYHA class.

Background
Slow gait, frailty, insufficient postoperative caloric intake, and delirium, although seemingly distinct, can appear simultaneously in patients who underwent cardiac surgery.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate how these 4 factors overlap and how they individually and cumulatively affect cardiac surgery outcomes.
Methods
The effects of slowness (gait speed (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Prognostic Value of the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 Scale in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insights From the Retrospective Multicenter Study for Early Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain
Background
The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) scale is a rapid and effective screening instrument that assesses nutritional risk among hospitalized patients.
Objective
The present study aimed to explore the prognostic value of the NRS-2002 scale in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) considering its uncertain role in this particular condition.
Methods
Patients with AMI included in the Retrospective Multicenter Study for Early Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain were investigated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between NRS-2002 a...

Changes in Appetite During the Heart Failure Trajectory and Association With Fatigue, Depressive Symptoms, and Quality of Life
Conclusions
Appetite improved after discharge; however, at all time points, at least 22% of patients reported decreased appetite. Fatigue, depressive symptoms, and low quality of life are factors associated with decreased appetite. Decreased appetite is a long-standing problem in that it does not disappear spontaneously after an acute HF deterioration. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

Predictive Model for Quality of Life in Patients 1 Year After First Stroke
Conclusions
When predicting quality of life in a patient 1 year after a stroke, it is important to consider variables such as type D personality, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, social support, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety at the time of the first stroke. Interventions to improve the quality of life of patients with stroke should consider these factors. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)

“Is My Heart Healing?” A Meta-synthesis of Patients' Experiences After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Conclusion
Although AMI tends to be seen as a discrete event, participants are left with little professional guidance as to how to negotiate significant, and often discordant, psychosocial changes that have long-lasting effects on their lives, similar to persons with chronic illnesses but without research in place to figure out how to best support them.

Hemodynamic and Hemostatic Response to Blood Flow Restriction Resistance Exercise in Coronary Artery Disease: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Background
Blood flow–restricted resistance training (BFR-RT) has been proven to be safe and efficacious in healthy older adults, but not in cardiovascular disease.
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the acute and training induced effects of BFR-RT on hemostatic and hemodynamic responses in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods
Stable patients with CAD were randomized to 8 weeks of BFR-RT (30%–40% 1-repetition maximum unilateral knee extension) combined with aerobic training or aerobic training alone (control group). At baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks, blood samples wer...

Local and Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress After a Single Bout of Maximal Walking in Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease
Conclusion
In patients with symptomatic PAD, maximal exercise induces local and systemic impairments, which may play a key role in atherogenesis. Exercise strategies that avoid maximal effort may be important to reduce local and systemic damage and enhance clinical benefits. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing)
