Purpose: The purpose of this project was to examine the outcomes of using video education as an adjunct to standard discharge education for patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention. Outcomes included knowledge about heart disease and discharge instructions, satisfaction with the video education, and the percentage of patients with cardiac rehabilitation referrals who attended their first cardiac rehabilitation session.
Methods: This project analyzed data on 224 participants. A video delivered via an iPad was used to provide adjunct discharge education to patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention procedures and were on the 24-hour overnight postrecovery unit. Participants completed a test to gauge knowledge learned. Descriptive statistics, the paired t test, and the Fisher exact test were used to evaluate the efficacy of this education.
Results: A paired t test showed significant knowledge improvement between the pretest percentage correct (mean = 88.97) and the posttest (mean = 96.62): t = -9.657, df = 223, P < .001. A majority of the patients (86.3%, n = 183) were very satisfied with the video education, and 98.1% (n = 208) stated it improved their knowledge and confidence about caring for their heart disease. Despite these reported improvements, there was no significant increase in cardiac rehabilitation attendance (P = .80).
Conclusion: Patients of all ages embraced the use of video education on iPads as an adjunct to standard discharge education. Patients felt more confident and informed on discharge about the expectations of caring for their heart disease and the need for cardiac rehabilitation. Despite knowing the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation, it remained an underutilized resource for these patients.

Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.
Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.

Background: Although the prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has dramatically improved, pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is one of the life-threatening comorbidities associated with SLE. The management of the comorbidity is occasionally challenging due to the lack of consensus regarding treatment options including immunosuppressive agents, selective pulmonary vasodilators, and cardiac rehabilitation.
Case Summary: A 28-year-old female who terminated prednisolone after remission of SLE by her own discretion 3 years ago developed dyspnoea on effort.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that can affect motor skills and psychophysiological well-being. Virtual Reality Exercise (VRE) improves cognitive and physical outcomes in patients with CP. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of VRE on attention, vigor, and decision-making abilities in adolescents with CP.

Background: Fibroblasts in the fibrotic heart exhibit a heterogeneous biological behavior. The specific subsets of fibroblasts that contribute to progressive cardiac fibrosis remain unrevealed. Our aim is to identify the heart fibroblast (FB) subsets that most significantly promote fibrosis and the related critical genes as biomarkers for ischemic heart disease.

The IMmediate Postpartum Access to Cardiac Therapy (IMPACT) procedure is a multidisciplinary, collaborative, highly coordinated clinical service in which a planned delivery and intensive neonatal care are offered for conditions where there is a high likelihood of postnatal instability. This process includes prenatal consultation with the parent(s), involving each service engaged with the delivery, postnatal resuscitation, and procedural care. A Cesarean section delivery is planned in an operating room with immediate access to a multifunctional procedural suite where the neonate can undergo rapid cardiac evaluation and initiation of interventional treatments which can have a positive, life-saving impact.
