Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity and heart failure. The results showed that moderate-intensity physical activity was associated with a lower risk of heart failure, and increasing moderate-intensity physical activity may be beneficial for overall health.

Summary: This study synthesized evidence-based research on seven innovative models of care to guide the development of new hospitals. Virtual care was the most commonly studied model, with 73% of the reviews addressing it. The findings suggest that these innovative healthcare models may be effective in managing patients with acute and chronic conditions.

Summary: The study revealed an increase in beta blocker prescriptions but low and stable prescription rates of mineralocorticoid receptor-antagonists for heart failure patients in recent years. Women and elderly patients were more likely to use loop diuretics, and medication prescription rates remained largely unchanged in the 6 months following a heart failure diagnosis for most patients.

Summary: Patients who chose community-based DOTS had a higher cure rate and lower risk of death and treatment failure compared to those who chose facility-based DOTS. Additionally, community-based DOTS resulted in a lower likelihood of positive sputum smear results compared to facility-based DOTS at the end of treatment.

Summary: Despite advances in HF treatment, the risk of mortality and hospitalisation remains high for HF patients, affecting their quality of life and societal participation. This survey reveals significant gaps in public and policymaker knowledge about HF.

Summary: Hospital at home is an innovative care model that is particularly suitable for heart failure patients. It provides a patient-centered and effective alternative to traditional outpatient and inpatient care. Current research supports its safety and cost-effectiveness, and new payment structures are being introduced to support its development.

Summary: This study revealed the rates of non-fatal complications of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Fiji, indicating a high hospitalization rate for RHD complications. Additionally, the study found that the incidence of RHD complications is higher in women than in men and hospitalization for RHD complications is associated with a significantly increased risk of death, highlighting the importance of early prevention.

Summary: The strategies of academic medical centers are driven by core values and missions, aiming to provide comprehensive clinical care, patient experience, research, education, and training. With the rapid adoption of digital health and the transformation of the healthcare industry, academic medical centers need to realign their digital health activities to leverage their strengths in order to accomplish their missions.

Summary: This study developed a nomogram for evaluating CKD risk among community residents with high CVD risk, based on data from 5730 participants. The nomogram showed good predictive accuracy in both the development and validation cohorts, indicating its potential utility in identifying patients at risk for incident CKD.

Summary: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death globally. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in the progression of MI. The development of self-sustaining selenium-embedded nanoparticles (SSSe NPs) provides an innovative antioxidant strategy for MI treatment.

Summary: The pharmacological treatment of heart failure has become more complex in recent decades due to the availability of new effective drugs. This study aims to evaluate the effects of different drugs on cardiopulmonary function in patients with heart failure, both at rest and during exercise, in order to guide the choice of appropriate treatment protocols for individual patients and promote precision medicine.

Summary: Renal function decline and rapid eGFR decline are independent risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in elderly population. Lower eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), positive proteinuria, and rapid eGFR decline are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is high and underestimated among outpatient heart failure (HF) patients in Tanzania, and it is associated with significant mortality. Increased heart rate is an important indicator of adverse outcomes in HF patients.

Summary: Despite a Class I recommendation for intervention, one in five patients with severe symptomatic AS chose not to intervene, a decision particularly associated with older age and combined comorbidities. Transcatheter intervention was extensively used in octogenarians.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Lipid-lowering agents used in the treatment of CVD may also have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. This review aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of currently available lipid-lowering medications, dietary supplements, and novel drugs.
