Rural-urban disparities in baseline health factors and procedure outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified rural-urban differences in baseline factors and procedural outcomes in patients presenting to a tertiary care center for cardiac procedures. Providers should anticipate that health disparities may be associated with more intervention and worse outcomes in their rural patients. Being aware of such differences may also help policy makers in directing health care funding to lower gaps in health care and access ultimately leading to better health outcomes.PMID:35109969 | DOI:10.1016/j.jnma.2022.01.001

The Effect of Chronic Disease Management Program on the Risk of Complications in Patients With Hypertension in Korea
CONCLUSION: The results showed that participants of the chronic disease management program were less likely to have hypertension complications compared to non-participants. Enhancing the participation rate may be related to better outcomes and reducing medical expenses among patients with chronic diseases.PMID:35942556 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2022.37.e243

Cost-effectiveness of follow-up invasive coronary angiography after percutaneous coronary stenting: a real-world observational cohort study in Japan
Conclusions FUICA increased the costs but did not improve clinical benefits. Thus, FUICA is not economically more attractive than CF alone. Trial registration number UMIN000039768.

Peer-support interventions for women with cardiovascular disease: protocol for synthesising the literature using an evidence map
Introduction The leading cause of death for women is cardiovascular disease (CVD), including ischaemic heart disease, stroke and heart failure. Previous literature suggests peer support interventions improve self-reported recovery, hope and empowerment in other patient populations, but the evidence for peer support interventions in women with CVD is unknown. The aim of this study is to describe peer support interventions for women with CVD using an evidence map. Specific objectives are to: (1) provide an overview of peer support interventions used in women with ischaemic heart disease, stroke and heart failure, (2) identif...

Effectiveness and safety of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (MUSKARDIA) in patients with stable coronary artery disease and concomitant diabetes mellitus: a subgroup analysis of a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: As an add-on to standard therapy, MUSKARDIA shows a trend of reduced MACEs in patients with stable CAD and DM. Furthermore, MUSKARDIA may reduce the frequency of all-cause death, hospitalization, and coronary angioplasty in this population, especially in those with uncontrolled DM.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR-TRC-12003513.PMID:36752805 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002527

Population-based assessment of cardiovascular complications of rheumatic heart disease in Fiji: a record-linkage analysis
Conclusions Our study defines the burden of RHD-attributable morbidity in the general population of Fiji, potentially reflecting the situation in low-income and middle-income countries worldwide. Hospitalisation for an RHD complication is associated with markedly increased risk of death, re-emphasising the importance of effective early prevention.
