Glycemic control and its associated factors among diabetic heart failure outpatients at two major hospitals in Jordan.

Patients with heart failure (HF) are generally at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and having uncontrolled blood glucose. Furthermore, the prevalence of uncontrolled blood glucose in patients with HF is largely unknown. Identifying the factors associated with poor blood glucose control is a preliminary step in the development of effective intervention programs.

Health-related quality of life and its associated factors among outpatients with heart failure: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease associated with life-limiting symptoms that could negatively impact patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aimed to evaluate HRQOL and explore the factors associated with poor HRQOL among patients with HF in Jordan.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used the validated Arabic version of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire to assess HRQOL in outpatients with HF visiting cardiology clinics at two public hospitals in Jordan.

Medication Adherence and Its Associated Factors Among Outpatients with Heart Failure.

Background: Poor adherence to heart failure (HF) medications represents a major barrier to achieve the desired health outcomes in those patients.

Objective: To assess medication adherence and to explore the factors associated with medication non-adherence among patient with HF in Jordan.

Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient cardiology clinics at two main hospitals in Jordan from August 2021 through April 2022.

Factors associated with lipid control in outpatients with heart failure.

Background: Dyslipidemia is common among patients with heart failure, and it negatively impacts clinical outcomes. Limited data regarding the factors associated with poor lipid control in patients with HF patients. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate lipid control and to explore the factors associated with poor lipid control in patients with HF.

Blood pressure control and its associated factors among patients with heart failure in Jordan.

Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events including heart failure. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with poor BP control among patients with heart failure at two major outpatient cardiology clinics in Jordan. Variables including socio-demographics, biomedical variables, in addition to disease and medication characteristics were collected using medical records and custom-designed questionnaire.
