Utilization Patterns of Cardiovascular Medications in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study, 2013-17

Utilization Patterns of Cardiovascular Medications in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study, 2013-17

The present study reflects that medication utilization patterns were rational, according to the standard treatment guidelines. Utilization patterns of medications that are recommended for both prevention and treatment of CVD...

Researchers from the Middle East studied the utilization patterns of CVD medications in patients with T2DM for 4 years. Women had the highest rate of utilization of CVD medications across the entire study range. Utilization patterns of medications recommended for prevention and treatment of CVD in diabetes were observed to be the highest.

Relationship Between Comorbidity and Health Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Relationship Between Comorbidity and Health Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Source : https://bmccardiovascdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12872-023-03527-x

Background The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is expected to rise due to increased survivorship and life expectancy of patients with acute heart conditions. Patients with HF and other multiple...

Comorbidities have significantly negative pooled effects on HF patient health outcomes, especially in regard to the prognostic health outcomes. Clinicians should carefully identify and manage these conditions when implementing HF interventions to improve prognostic outcomes.

Use of Human-Centered Design Methodology to Develop a Digital Toolkit to Optimize Heart Failure Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy

Use of Human-Centered Design Methodology to Develop a Digital Toolkit to Optimize Heart Failure Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37855732/

The clinician, patient, and caregiver insights identified through human-centered design will inform a digital toolkit aimed at optimizing HF GDMTs, including a patient-facing smartphone application and clinician dashboard. This digital...

Researchers engaged key stakeholders in human-centered design sessions to identify challenges in guideline-directed medical therapies optimization posthospitalization and inform the development of a digital toolkit aimed at optimizing HF therapy. Several themes emerged from the clinician, patient, and caregiver sessions on challenges to...

Summary of the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting 2023

The 2023 annual scientific meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) took place from Oct. 6 to 9, 2023, at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland. The four-day program included the latest information on diagnosing and treating heart failure, including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
