Summary: This study evaluated the association between sociodemographic factors and cholesterol-lowering medication use in high-risk individuals. It was found that only 61% of participants without healthcare coverage used the medication, while 85% of those with coverage used it. Older age and minimal variation by race and ethnicity were associated with higher medication use. Income, education level, and relationship status were weakly or not associated with medication use.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of two hospital-based interventions on long-term cardiac medication adherence among elderly post-MI patients. The findings showed that neither the standardized prolonged discharge prescription forms plus education nor education-only intervention had a statistically significant effect on long-term medication adherence.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate long-term adherence to guideline-recommended cardioprotective medications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and identify associated characteristics. The results showed that despite efforts to improve long-term medication adherence in patients who have experienced an acute coronary event, significant gaps remain. Prior cardiovascular treatment was the strongest predictor of long-term adherence.

Summary: This mini-review aims to provide a review of the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 and the cardiovascular system, evaluate selected studies on cardiac troponin in COVID-19 patients, and recommend testing strategies for different stages of the disease. It highlights the importance of understanding the role of cardiac troponin in COVID-19 and points out the need for further well-designed studies to provide evidence for testing strategies.

Summary: The study indicates that medication copayment vouchers can improve persistence to P2Y12 inhibitors among patients after myocardial infarction, regardless of out-of-pocket medication burden. Patients in the high copay group without a voucher have similar risk of 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events compared with patients in the high copay group with a voucher.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between fatigue, stress, and blood pressure medication adherence in Black and White adults with a history of myocardial infarction. The findings suggest that fatigue and race are significant predictors of medication adherence, with differences observed between Black and White participants.

Summary: The study found that high-intensity LLT prescriptions were limited and adherence to LLT was low among patients with a history of myocardial infarction. Higher treatment intensity, adherence, and adherence-adjusted intensity were all associated with a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

Summary: Our study aimed to explore the relationships between dyadic coping, marital satisfaction, and posttraumatic growth among breast cancer patients and their spouses, confirming the mediating effect of marital satisfaction between dyadic coping and posttraumatic growth. Positive/negative dyadic coping of patients and spouses had actor and partner effects on marital satisfaction, while marital satisfaction and positive dyadic coping only had actor effects on posttraumatic growth. The mediating effects of marital satisfaction on the impact of dyadic coping on posttraumatic growth were confirmed in both patients and spouses.

Summary: Meta-analysis of 24 studies showed that mobile health-based self-management interventions could improve breast cancer patients' self-management behavior, functional exercise compliance, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life, reduce the incidence of lymphedema, and relieve anxiety levels. However, there were no significant differences in symptom relief, role functioning, depression, or social support between patients in the mobile health group and those in the conventional care group.
