Effects of home-based cardiac rehabilitation integrated in the cardiac care bridge transitional care program on the physical functioning of older patients who are frail: secondary analysis of a randomized trial

Michel S. Terbraak, Lotte Verweij, Patricia Jepma, M. van der Schaaf et autres

IMPORTANCE: Older patients hospitalized for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at risk of physical function decline and adverse health outcomes. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves physical functioning but is underutilized by older patients. Home-based CR potentially improves utilization, yet its effectiveness in older patients …

Differences in long-term impact of traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis on different arterial territories: insights from over 20 years of follow-up in the EPIC-Norfolk prospective population study

Manon van den Bogaart, Marjolein Snaterse, T J Van Trier, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The relative impact of risk factors for atherosclerosis on cardiovascular disease (CVD) events differs among arterial territories. Most studies investigating these associations comprised CVD patients, had short follow-up or lacked sex- and territory specific analyses. We therefore investigated associations …

Revealing the limitations of 10-year MACE observations: 20-year observed total cardiovascular burden in the EPIC-Norfolk study

T J Van Trier, Marjolein Snaterse, Jannick A N Dorresteijn, Wilma JM Scholte op Reimer et autres

BACKGROUND: Primary prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease (CVD) conventionally rely on 10-year risk estimates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, communicating longer-term total CVD risk may better facilitate informed preventive decisions. Therefore, we aimed to quantify how well 10-year observed incidence …

Heterogeneous associations of traditional atherosclerotic risk factors and long-term events in different arterial territories: the EPIC Norfolk prospective population cohort

Maud van den Bogaart, Marjolein Snaterse, T J Van Trier, Fabrice M A C Martens et autres

Abstract Background Atherosclerotic risk factors have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in specific arterial territories. However, these observations are limited by relatively short-term follow-up (i.e. ten years) and a focus on a limited number of outcome events. We therefore investigated …

The Ghana heart initiative – a health system strengthening approach as index intervention model to solving Ghana’s cardiovascular disease burden

Alfred Doku, John K. A. Tetteh, Juliette Edzeame, Ron J.G. Peters et autres

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with 80% of these deaths occurring in low-middle income countries (LMICs). In Ghana and across Africa, CVDs have emerged as the leading causes of death primarily due to undetected and under treated …

Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease and Risk Factors in Ghana: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Alfred Doku, Lawrence Sena Tuglo, Vincent Boima, Francis Agyekum et autres

Background: The increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden threatens the global population as the major cause of disability and premature death. Data are scarce on the magnitude of CVD among the population in West Africa, particularly in Ghana. This study examined the available …

Potential lifetime benefit of applying two-step ESC prevention strategy

T J Van Trier, Marjolein Snaterse, Steven H J Hageman, Nienke ter Hoeve et autres

Abstract Background The 2021 ESC Prevention guideline recommends a two-step strategy for risk management in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We estimated the potential lifetime benefit of complete implementation of this approach, compared to current practice. Methods In a pooled cohort …

Impact of implementing Dutch versus European guideline risk factor targets in older patients with ischaemic heart disease

T J Van Trier, Marjolein Snaterse, Ron M. C. Herings, Jetty A. Overbeek et autres

BACKGROUND: In patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) aged > 70 years, Dutch and European guidelines recommend different treatment targets: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) < 2.6 versus < 1.4 mmol/l and systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 140 versus < 130 mm Hg, …
