Lessons learned about stress and the heart after major earthquakes
Publication date: Available online 6 June 2019Source: American Heart JournalAuthor(s): Robert A. KlonerAbstractThere is evidence that certain stressors can trigger cardiovascular events. Several studies have now demonstrated an increase in major adverse cardiac events associated with natural disasters such as an earthquake. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on earthquakes and cardiovascular events. Reports from 13 major quakes were reported. Earthquakes have been associated with a number of cardiac events including sudden cardiac death, fatal myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial infarction, stress car...

I-CARE randomized clinical trial integrating depression and acute coronary syndrome care in low-resource hospitals in China: Design and rationale
Publication date: August 2018Source: American Heart Journal, Volume 202Author(s): Shenshen Li, James A. Blumenthal, Chuan Shi, Danielle Millican, Xian Li, Xin Du, Anushka Patel, Pei Gao, Elizabeth Delong, Pallab K. Maulik, Runlin Gao, Xin Yu, Yangfeng WuAbstractDepression and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are both common public health challenges. Patients with ACS often develop depression, which in turn adversely affects prognosis. Low-cost, sustainable, and effective service models that integrate depression care into the management of ACS patients to reduce depression and improve ACS outcomes are critically needed. Integ...

Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement in Kerala (ACS QUIK): Rationale and Design for a Cluster Randomized Stepped Wedge Trial
Publication date: Available online 21 December 2016 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Mark D. Huffman, P.P. Mohanan, Raji Devarajan, Abigail S. Baldridge, Dimple Kondal, Lihui Zhao, Mumtaj Ali, Donald M. Lloyd-Jones, Dorairaj Prabhakaran Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, and there are likely more myocardial infarctions in India than in any other country in the world. We have previously reported heterogeneous care for patients with myocardial infarction in Kerala, a state in southern India, including both gaps in optimal care and inappropriate care. Based on that prior work, limitations ...
