Health-related behaviours play a mediation role between mental resilience and the cardiovascular risk in the group of young adults with congenital heart defects. Psychological resilience as a preventive and promotional...
Higher psychological resilience in young adults with congenital heart defects is linked to healthier behaviors, reducing cardiovascular risk. Health-promoting programs should incorporate resilience assessment to enhance patient care and prevention strategies.
The AHA/ACC statement provides clinical guidance on cardiovascular risks in athletes, outlining considerations for competitive sports participation, sudden cardiac arrest prevention, and shared decision-making based on expert-reviewed literature.

Cardiovascular Effects of Antiseizure Medications for Epilepsy - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39951223/
Antiseizure medications (ASMs) are the primary treatment for epilepsy. However, adverse cardiac effects of ASMs can occur, related to their effects on lipid metabolism, raising ischemic heart disease risk; or...
Antiseizure medications (ASMs) can impact cardiovascular health by altering lipid metabolism and cardiac ion channels, increasing ischemic heart disease and arrhythmia risks. Monitoring and managing these effects are crucial for epilepsy patients.
Barriers and facilitators to improved sedentary behaviour in coronary heart disease patients: a scoping review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39880456/
Patients with CHD have unique barriers and facilitators to improving SB. Future research should adequately reduce barriers and promote facilitators to increase the effectiveness of interventions.
This scoping review identifies barriers (capability, opportunity, motivation) and facilitators to reducing sedentary behavior in CHD patients, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to enhance effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.
A 6-month trial found that dietitian-led counseling slightly improved diet adherence in CVD patients but did not significantly impact cardiovascular risk factors, depressive symptoms, or optimism scores.
