Effects of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care on mood and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure

BACKGROUND With the intensification of social aging,the susceptibility of the elderly population to diseases has attracted increasing attention,especially chronic heart failure(CHF)that accounts for a large proportion of the elderly.AIM To evaluate the application value of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care in elderly patients with CHF.METHODS This study recruited 116 elderly CHF patients admitted from October 2018 to October 2020 and grouped them according to the nursing care that they received.The elderly patients who underwent health concept model-based detailed behavioral care were included in a study group(SG;n=62),and those who underwent routine detailed behavioral nursing intervention were included as a control group(CG;n=54).Patients’negative emotions(NEs),quality of life(QoL),and nutritional status were assessed using the self-rating anxiety/depression scale(SAS/SDS),the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ),and the Modified Quantitative Subjective Global Assessment(MQSGA)of nutrition,respectively.Differences in rehabilitation efficiency,NEs,cardiac function(CF)indexes,nutritional status,QoL,and nursing satisfaction were comparatively analyzed.RESULTS A higher response rate was recorded in the SG vs the CG after intervention(P<0.05).After care,the left ventricular ejection fraction was higher while the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and left ventricular end systolic diameter were lower in the SG compared with the CG(P<0.05).The post-intervention SAS and SDS scores,as well as MQSGA and MLHFQ scores,were also lower in the SG(P<0.05).The SG was also superior to the CG in the overall nursing satisfaction rate(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Health concept model-based detailed behavioral care has high application value in the nursing care of elderly CHF patients,and it can not only effectively enhance rehabilitation efficiency,but also mitigate patients’NEs and improve their CF and QoL.

Additive Benefits of Twice Forest Bathing Trips in Elderly Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

Chronic heart failure （CHF）, a clinical syndrome resulting from the consequences of various cardiovascular diseases （CVDs）, is increasingly becoming a global cause of morbidity and mortality. We had earlier demonstrated that a 4-day forest bathing trip can provide an adjunctive therapeutic influence on patients with CHF. To further investigate the duration of the impact and the optimal frequency of forest bathing trips in patients with CHF, we recruited those subjects who had experienced the first forest bathing trip again after 4 weeks and randomly categorized them into two groups, namely, the urban control group （city） and the forest bathing group （forest）. After a second 4-day forest bathing trip, we observed a steady decline in the brain natriuretic peptide levels, a biomarker of heart failure, and an attenuated inflammatory response as well as oxidative stress. Thus, this exploratory study demonstrated the additive benefits of twice forest bathing trips in elderly patients with CHF, which could further pave the way for analyzing the effects of such interventions in CVDs.

Effect of adjuvant levosimendan therapy on neuroendocrine hormones and cytokines in elderly patients with chronic heart failure

Objective: To discuss the effect of adjuvant levosimendan therapy on neuroendocrine hormones and cytokines in elderly patients with chronic heart failure. Methods: A total of 100 elderly patients with chronic heart failure who were treated in the hospital between March 2014 and March 2017 were divided into control group and levosimendan group by random number table, each with 50 cases. Control group received clinical routine therapy for chronic heart failure, and levosimendan group received routine therapy combined with adjuvant levosimendan therapy. The differences in serum levels of RAAS indexes, thyroid hormones, myocardial damage indexes and endothelial function indexes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: At T0, there was no statistically significant difference in serum levels of RAAS indexes, thyroid hormones, myocardial damage indexes and endothelial function indexes between the two groups. At T1, serum RAAS indexes PRA, AngⅡ and ALD levels of levosimendan group were lower than those of control group;serum thyroid hormones TT3, TT4, FT3 and FT4 levels of levosimendan group were higher than those of control group;serum myocardial damage indexes cTnⅠ, H-FABP and NT-proBNP levels of levosimendan group were lower than those of control group;serum endothelial function index NO level of levosimendan group was higher than that of control group while ET-1 level was lower than that of control group. Conclusion: Adjuvant levosimendan therapy for elderly patients with chronic heart failure can effectively adjust the secretion of neuroendocrine hormones and reduce the myocardial and vascular endothelial damage.

High flux hemodialysis in elderly patients with chronic kidney failure

BACKGROUND Hemodialysis is an advanced blood purification technique to manage kidney failure.However,for conventional hemodialysis,the high prevalence of dyslipidemia may cause cardiovascular diseases and an increase in mortality.Moreover,toxins accumulating in the body over time may induce some complications.High flux hemodialysis can effectively improve disease indexes and clinical symptoms.AIM To investigate the efficacy of high flux hemodialysis in elderly patients with chronic kidney failure(CKF).METHODS A total of 66 elderly patients with CKF who were admitted to our hospital from October 2017 to October 2018 were included in the study.According to the therapies they received,the patients were divided into a study group and a control group with 33 patients in each group.The study group received high flux hemodialysis and the control group received conventional dialysis treatment.Kidney function,toxin levels in serum,and complications were compared in the two groups.RESULTS Before the treatment,there was no significant difference in kidney function,β2-microglobulin,or blood urea nitrogen between the two groups(P>0.05).In contrast,kidney function was better in the study group than in the control group after the treatment(P<0.05).In addition,the study group had significantly lower parathyroid hormone and serum cystatin C than the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications was 8.57%in the study group,which was lower than that of the control group(20.00%;P<0.05).CONCLUSION High flux hemodialysis may improve kidney function and reduce toxin levels in serum and the incidence of complications in elderly patients with CKF.

Beta-blocker therapy in elderly patients with renal dysfunction and heart failure

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of beta-blockers(BB)in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)aged≥75 years.METHODS AND RESULTS From January 2008 to July 2014,we included 390 consecutive patients≥75 years of age with ejection fraction≤35%and glomerular filtration rate(GFR)≤60 m L/min per 1.73 m^2.We analyzed the relationship between treatment with BB and mortality or cardiovascular events.The mean age of our population was 82.6±4.1 years.Mean ejection fraction was 27.9%±6.5%.GFR was 60-45 m L/min per 1.73 m^2 in 50.3%of patients,45-30 m L/min per 1.73 m^2 in 37.4%,and<30 m L/min per 1.73 m^2 in 12.3%.At the conclusion of follow-up,67.4%of patients were receiving BB.The median follow-up was28.04(IR:19.41-36.67)months.During the study period,211 patients(54.1%)died and 257(65.9%)had a major cardiovascular event(death or hospitalization for heart failure).BB use was significantly associated with a reduced risk of death(HR=0.51,95%CI:0.35-0.74;P<0.001).Patients receiving BB consistently showed a reduced risk of death across the different stages of CKD:stage IIIa(GFR=30-45 m L/min per 1.73 m^2;HR=0.47,95%CI:0.26-0.86,P<0.0001),stage IIIb(GFR 30-45 m L/min per 1.73 m^2;HR=0.55,95%CI:0.26-1.06,P=0.007),and stages IV and V(GFR<30 m L/min per 1.73 m~2;HR=0.29,95%CI:0.11-0.76;P=0.047).CONCLUSIONS The use of BB in elderly patients with HFr EF and renal impairment was associated with a better prognosis.Use of BB should be encouraged when possible.

Aim of the work was to study the features of renal dysfunction and anemia in the patients with chronic heart failure(CHF) and saved or disturbed left ventricular systolic function(LVSF).There were examined 47 geriatric men [mean age(64.3±0.8)] with CHR due to IHD and arterial hypertension.Evaluated the glomerular filtration rate(GFR),the presence of microalbuminuria(MAU),levels of serum creatinine,ferum,erythrocyte count.GFR lowered not only in patients with saved LVSF.Increased MAU and SK,Hb concentration lowering were evaluated in patients with LVSF disturbance.No correlation between Hb level and renal function was revealed.

Prevalence of iron deficiency in patients aged 75 years or older with heart failure

Background The latest studies presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting on heart failure and the update of the European Cardiology Society’s (ECS) recommendations on heart failure in 2016 recommend intravenous iron supplementation in patients with heart failure, reduced ejection fraction and iron deficiency for improves walking performance and quality of life, and reduces morbidity. In the present study, we investigated the prevalence of iron deficiency in heart failure patients aged 75 years or older, as there is currently no data on these patients. Methods We performed an observational study on hospitalized patients in Geriatric Cardiology Department. Among the 462 patients hospitalized during eight months, 176 were eligible for inclusion;22 patients was significant interference with an inflammatory syndrome (high ferritin with high C-reactive protein), and for 13 patients iron-related data were not available. For each patient included, a complete iron assessment and type of heart failure was available. Results A total of 141 patients were included, the mean age was 88 years (range: 75–101), and there were 52 (36.9%) of patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF), 37 (26.2%) with mid-range EF, and 52 (36.9%) with preserved EF. Irrespective of heart failure type, 73.8% had iron deficiency (95% CI: 65.7%–80.8%);this was found in 57.7%(95% CI: 43.2%–71.3%) of those with reduced EF, 78.4%(95% CI: 61.8%–90.2%) of those with mid-range EF, and 86.5%(95% CI: 74.2%–94.4%) of those with preserved EF (P = 0.003). Conclusion The prevalence of iron deficiency was very high in very elderly patients with heart failure, especially those with HF with mid-range EF or HF with preserved EF.

Left ventricular assist devices as destination therapy in stage D heart failure

1 Introduction? Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has increasingly become an important management opportunity for patients with stage D heart failure (HF) with remarkable impact on patient survival and quality of life. Early clinical trials have demonstrated improved outcomes of durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support compared with optimal medical management.[1] As technology advanced, continuous flow LVADs outperformed pulsatile flow devices in clinical trials and the field migrated to HeartMate (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) and HeartWare (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) devices due to their clinical superiority. Among the continuous flow devices.

Effect of Integrated, Person-Centred Palliative Advanced Home and Heart Failure Care on NT-proBNP Levels: A Substudy of the PREFER Study

Objective: In 2012, we initiated a new person-centred model, integrated Palliative advanced home caRE and heart FailurE caRe (PREFER), to integrate specialised palliative home care with heart failure care. Natriuretic peptide-guided treatment is valuable for younger patients (age < 75 years), but its usefulness in palliative care is uncertain. We explored whether patients in PREFER reduced mean level of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) more than the control group. Design: A pre-specified, exploratory substudy, analysed within the prospective, randomised PREFER study, which had an open, non-blinded design. Participants: Patients in palliative care with chronic heart failure, New York Heart Association class III-IV were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 36;26 males, 10 females, mean age: 81.9 years) or control group (n = 36;25 males, 11 females, mean age:76.5 years). The intervention group received the PREFER intervention for 6 months. The control group received care as usual at a primary health care centre or heart failure clinic at the hospital. NT-proBNP was measured at the start and end of study. Results: Plasma levels of NT-proBNP differed significantly between groups at baseline. By the end of the study, no significant difference was found between the groups. The mean value for NT-proBNP decreased by 35% in the PREFER group but was not statistically significant (P = 0.074);NT-proBNP increased 4% in the control group. Conclusions: We found no statistically significant reductions of NT-proBNP levels neither between nor within the PREFER and the control group at the end of the study.

Improving outcomes in patients with heart failure:The contribution of cardiovascular specialist nurses

Background Heart failure(HF)is a chronic,impactful condition on individuals and healthcare systems,requiring management that goes beyond inpatient care.This study investigated the impact of cardiovascular specialist nurses on long-term health outcomes and patient satisfaction in HF outpatient care.Methods In a year-long observational study from July 2021 to July 2022,230 HF patients at our hospital were divided into an experimental group(n=115)receiving care from cardiovascular specialist nurses and a control group(n=115)managed by general nursing staff.The interventions included comprehensive care such as patient education,medication management,lifestyle guidance,symptom monitoring,and psychological support.The major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)and rehospitalization rates were applied as the primary endpoints.Results The experimental group demonstrated significantly fewer MACEs and lower rehospitalization rates compared to the control group(P<0.001).Higher patient satisfaction was observed in the experimental group,with 81.7%reporting high satisfaction vs.53.9%in the control group(P<0.001).Differences in incidence of myocardial infarction and death rates between the groups were not statistically significant.Conclusions The involvement of cardiovascular specialist nurses in HF outpatient care significantly enhances clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.These nurses play a key role in bridging the transition from hospital to home care,improving adherence to treatment regimens,and reducing healthcare system burdens.

Detection of p53 gene mutations in skeletal muscle cell of patients with chronic heart failure

Progressive deterioration of physical work capacity in congestive heart failure (CHF) is often attributed to ongoing skeletal muscle atrophy and abnormalities in muscle metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to investigate if mutations in the p53 gene thought to be a promotor of apoptosis are involved in intrinsic apoptotic abnormalities in skeletal muscle of patients (pts) with CHF. Percutaneous needle biopsy from the m. vastus lateralis were obtained from 19 pts with CHF (LV EF 25%±10%). Single strand confirmation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reation products (PCR SSCP analysis) was used for detection of mutations in exon 5 8 of the p53 gene in skeletal Heart Center, University Leipzig, Germany (Yu JT, Adams V, Fiehn E, Schuler G and Hambrecht R) Institut of Pathology, University Freiburg, Germany (Ye J and Riede U)muscle cells. Four of 19 muscle specimens (21%) showed mobility shifts. To characterize the nuleotide sequence alterations specimens were examined further by direct sequence analysis of PCR product. Two of four specimens showing a band shift in the SSCP analysis exhibited a mutated p53 sequence. Sequence analysis revealed that these alteratons were point mutation exon 8 (14482, G→A) and deletion in exon 5 (13143 13157). A high frequency of p53 mutations was detected in skeletal muscle cells of patients with chronic heart failure. These findings suggest a role for apoptosis in the progression of intrinsic skeletal muscle abnormalities and consequently of exercise intolerance in chronic heart failure.
