AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to involve heart failure patients to evaluate the need for changes in a research study's design and methods when adapting urban hospital interventions for rural settings.
- Eight heart failure patients from two rural hospitals were interviewed to assess the study's validity, leading to confirmation of its design and outcomes, while highlighting the need to include symptom experience.
- Engaging patients in research design is crucial for creating studies that focus on their needs and ensure a patient-centered approach.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to engage patients with heart failure (HF) to assess if changes are needed in a research study design, methods and outcomes when transferring interventions used in urban/community hospitals to rural hospital settings. A qualitative structured interview was conducted with eight patients with a diagnosis of HF admitted to two rural hospitals. Patients validated the study design, measures and outcomes, but identified one area that should be added to the study protocol, symptom experience. Results validated that the intervention, methods and outcomes for the planned study were important, but modifications to the study protocol resulted. Patient engagement in the conceptualization of research is essential to guide patient-centered studies.

Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair and Mortality at Hospitals Without Investigational Device Trials.
JAMA Surg
December 2024
Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland.
Importance: Fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repairs (F/BEVAR) have been adopted by many centers. However, national trends of F/BEVAR use remain unclear, particularly at sites who perform them without an US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA)-approved investigational device exemption (IDE).
Objective: To quantify the use of F/BEVAR in the US and to determine if mortality was different at IDE vs non-IDE sites.
Purpose: To describe a surgical technique for retinal detachment (RD) with undetected retinal breaks, which combines pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and external subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, patients with diagnosis of RD with undetected retinal breaks were enrolled. Standard three-port 25 Gauge (G) core and peripheral PPV was performed.
Social Determinants of Health, Blood Pressure Classification, and Incident Stroke Among Chinese Adults.
JAMA Netw Open
December 2024
Hypertension Laboratory, Cardiovascular Disease Center of Guangdong Province, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Importance: Although cumulative evidence suggests that higher blood pressure (BP) and a greater burden of social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, few studies have examined whether SDOH burden modifies the association between BP and stroke risk.
Objective: To evaluate whether the association between BP classification and stroke risk differs by SDOH burden among Chinese adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, analyses were conducted among 90 850 participants in the prospective subcohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, with recruitment from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020.
Long-term impact of atrial fibrillation catheter ablation on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic, 200 1st Street SW, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: The efficacy of catheter ablation as a treatment approach for patients with concurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been inadequately investigated.
Objective: This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Methods: Utilizing the TriNetX research network, we identified individuals aged 18 and older with atrial fibrillation (AF) and concurrent heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) from January 1, 2010, to June 1, 2021.
Quantitative flow ratio of the donor coronary artery supplying a chronic total occlusion territory.
Clin Res Cardiol
December 2024
Cardiology Department, Heart Center Segeberger Kliniken GmbH, Am Kurpak 1, 23795, Bad Segeberg, Germany.
Background: Coronary physiology to guide multi-vessel coronary intervention is associated with better outcome. In the presence of a coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), hemodynamic evaluation of intermediate lesions in the donor coronary artery supplying a CTO territory still has limitations. We aim to evaluate implementing quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in assessing angiographically intermediate lesions of the main donor coronary artery supplying a CTO territory.
