The Symptom Experience of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Before Their Initial Diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: The current study identified challenges participants experienced in developing awareness of their AF symptoms, the complex cognitive processes associated with evaluation, and barriers that made it difficult to respond to AF symptoms in a timely manner. Understanding the prediagnosis symptom experience from the patient's perspective is essential for the enhancement of current AF screening practices. PMID: 32011349 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Factors Associated With Cognitive Impairment in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive impairment is prevalent in HFpEF and affects several cognitive domains. The current study supports the importance of cognitive screening in patients with heart failure. An association between abnormal cardiac hemodynamics and cognitive impairment was observed, but other factors are likely involved. PMID: 32649377 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and High-Density Lipoproteins in Overweight or Obese Individuals: A Meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: There was a small increase in HDL across studies (d = 0.18) in overweight and obese individuals. The effect size may be limited because of the small number of studies included in this meta-analysis. Nonetheless, obese and overweight individuals should be encouraged to increase their FVC to improve HDL and lower cardiovascular risk factors. PMID: 32769479 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multimorbidity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Is Associated With Greater Mortality, Higher Readmission Rates, and Increased Length of Stay: A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSIONS: Multimorbid patients with ACS are at a greater risk for worse outcomes than their nonmultimorbid counterparts. Lack of consistent measurement makes interpretation of the impact of multimorbidity challenging and emphasizes the need for more research on multimorbidity's effects on postdischarge healthcare utilization.

A Qualitative Study: Hypertension Stigma Among Black Women.
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension stigma could potentially deter adherence to high BP treatment. Further research is needed to explore the prevalence of stigma in this population and its impact on behaviors that hinder BP control. PMID: 33148961 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cost Analysis of a Dedicated Outpatient Clinic in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Total expenses for AF-related hospital resource utilization in the intervention group were higher, but the expenses for AF-related outpatient visits were significantly lower. There was a trend toward lower all-cause mortality in the intervention group, although the differences were not statistically significant. More research is needed investigating whether a multidisciplinary AF clinic is cost-effective.PMID:33783372 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000000805

911 Calls for Emergency Medical Services in Heart Failure: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, symptoms and signs of HF exacerbation were common reasons to activate 911 calls. Falls were frequently reported. Under the duress of the emergent situations surrounding the 911 call, callers rarely mentioned the existence of HF. Interventions are needed to guide patients with HF and their family members to promote the management of HF to reduce EMS activation as well as to activate EMS quickly for acute changes in HF conditions.PMID:34935743 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000000861
