The experiences and needs of unpaid family caregivers for persons living with dementia in rural settings: A qualitative systematic review.

Purpose: Unpaid family caregivers provide extensive support for community-dwelling persons living with dementia, impacting family caregivers' health and wellbeing. Further, unpaid family caregiving in rural settings has additional challenges because of lower access to services. This systematic review examines qualitative evidence to summarize the experiences and needs of rural unpaid family caregivers of persons living with dementia.

Management of Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes: A HiRO Consensus Handbook on Process of Care.

Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are rare genetic conditions that predispose seemingly healthy individuals to sudden cardiac arrest and death. The Hearts in Rhythm Organization is a multidisciplinary Canadian network of clinicians, researchers, patients, and families that aims to improve care for patients and families with inherited cardiac conditions, focused on those that confer predisposition to arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest and/or death. The field is rapidly evolving as research discoveries increase.

Two-Dimensional Strain Echocardiographic Parameters and Clinical Outcomes Associated with Significant Atrioventricular Regurgitation in a Single-Center Adult Fontan Population.

Background: Significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) is prevalent in Fontan adults. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography allows for evaluation of subclinical myocardial dysfunction and offers technical benefits. We aimed to evaluate the association of AVVR with echocardiographic parameters and adverse outcomes.

Trending Cardiac Biomarkers During Pregnancy in Women With Cardiovascular Disease.

Background: Clinical utility of cardiac biomarker testing during pregnancy in women with preexisting cardiac disease is not well known. We studied the levels and temporal trends of NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) and hs-cTnI (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I) throughout pregnancy in women with preexisting cardiac disease and sought to assess the association between NT-proBNP and hs-cTnI and pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: Three hundred seven pregnant women with preexisting cardiac disease were prospectively recruited.
