To explore how nurses experience facilitators and barriers to the use of video-consultations for home-monitoring of patients with cardiac disease. A systematic literature search in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science was undertaken, inclusion criteria were qualitative data published between 2013 and 2023 written in English, Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish. Ten studies were included in the qualitative synthesis conducted as described by Braun and Clarke.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition causing irregular heartbeats, which increases risks for strokes and heart failure, and can negatively affect quality of life.
- The study aims to evaluate the benefits and potential drawbacks of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) compared to non-exercise methods for individuals with AF or those who have received treatment for it.
- Researchers conducted a thorough search for randomized clinical trials assessing ExCR interventions, ensuring include participants over 18 with any subtype of AF, and analyzed data to determine the effectiveness and reliability of the evidence gathered.
Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) have several common risk factors, and 10-15% of patients with AF undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Little is known about changes over time in modifiable risk factors and self-reported health in patients with and without a history of AF after PCI. Therefore, the aims were to determine and compare changes in modifiable risk factors and self-reported health in patients with and without a history of AF after PCI.

Eur Heart J Qual Care Clin Outcomes
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- After implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), patients face temporary driving restrictions for personal vehicles and permanent prohibitions for professional driving, impacting their job and daily activities.
- A Danish survey revealed that among active professional drivers, 33% lost their jobs due to these driving restrictions, while 47% of previously employed patients felt restricted in maintaining their work.
- The study indicated that younger age, higher income, and pre-implantation driving frequency increased the likelihood of significant daily living disruptions due to driving limitations after ICD implantation.
Aims: Clinical practice guidelines recommend patient education for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) as a part of holistic care, however, clinical guidelines lack detailed specification on the content, structure, and delivery of AF education programmes. To examine the implementation of education for patients with AF in Denmark in relation to coverage, organization, and content.
Methods And Results: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to May 2021.
