Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychosocial outcomes of sudden cardiac arrest survivors have generally been studied in single center samples. Large, nationally representative patient surveys may offer different perspectives. The aim of the current study is to provide a needs analysis of health outcomes and psychosocial needs for this patient population. One hundred and eighty nine sudden cardiac arrest survivors (104 men, 84 women, 1 unreported) completed an online survey. A representative sample of time since cardiac arrest was achieved (28.0% within 2 years, 38.6% 2-5 years, 33.3% 5 or more years post-SCA). The self-report survey consisted of retrospective (time of cardiac event to 3 months post-cardiac event) and current ratings of health, which included quality of life, emotional health, and general health. A needs analysis for sudden cardiac arrest survivors addressing acute and long-term concerns was completed to aid in understanding appropriate educational programming for these patients. Approximately 81% of the sample had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator and 45% of patients had experienced at least one shock from their device. Patient ratings of post-sudden cardiac arrest health outcomes indicated notable change in quality of life (37.7% better, 37.2% same, 25.0% worse). Similar patterns in emotional health (33.8% better, 32.8% same, 33.3% worse) and general health (30.3% better, 46.3% same, 23.4% worse) were observed. The majority of patients reported desirable (excellent - very good - good) changes in quality of life (88.9%), emotional health (82.0%), and general health (84.1%), while others reported undesirable (fair - poor) current health ratings; quality of life (11.1%), emotional health (18%), and general health (16%). Emotional health emerged as the health functioning area most negatively impacted by sudden cardiac arrest. Needs analysis of top concerns demonstrated that the highest priority concerns were anxiety, depression, and fear of exercise across all time periods. Further analyses indicated that gender and secondary treatment type significantly impacted reported rates of anxiety, depression, and fear of exercise. To our knowledge, the current study examines patient reports from the largest sudden cardiac arrest sample in the literature. Findings highlight that immediate health outcomes post-sudden cardiac arrest are potentially adverse but many patients later report desirable quality of life, emotional health, and general health. Educational programming initiatives for sudden cardiac arrest patient issues may require shifting focus from broad health concerns to acute and long-term psychosocial needs.

Book excerpt: PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can lead to a wide range of psychological symptoms and the long-term outcomes of survivors remains unclear. Furthermore, little is known about the impact of OHCA on the psychosocial functioning of close family members / partners. The current study aimed to investigate and address the longitudinal outcomes of OHCA and its impact on patients and family membersu2019 psychological and functional outcomes. METHODS: In study one, 18 OHCA survivors and their family member engaged in semi-structured interviews regarding their recovery experience and the impact of the OHCA 12-months post-arrest. Patients also completed measures of depression and anxiety, cognition, and trauma. RESULTS: Patients reported elevated anxiety and depression levels that they perceived improved across the recovery period. Self-reported cognition levels were affected in a sub-set of survivors. Family members reported persistent trauma and distress symptoms regarding their partneru2019s OHCA. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who have experienced OHCA report a range of neurocognitive and psychosocial symptoms which may persist in a subset of survivors. Family members report significant trauma and distress symptoms following OHCA, with little formal intervention or treatment provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of Molecular Cardiology: Methods and Protocols is to document state-of-the-art molecular and genetic techniques in the area of cardiology. These modern approaches enable researchers to readily study heart diseases at the molecular level and will promote the development of new therapeutic str- egies. Methods for genetic dissection, signal transduction, and microarray analysis are excellent tools for the study of the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases. Protocols for transgenesis take advantage of recent advances in many areas of molecular and cell biology. Transgenic models of heart diseases (cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac dysfunction, and so on. ) are powerful tools for the study of heart disease pathogenesis. Methods for gene transfer to heart tissue using viral and nonviral vectors form the basis of gene therapy for heart diseases. Heart-specific promoters containing a hypox- inducible cardioprotective gene switch are key for protection of the heart from ischemia. Gene and stem cell therapies open novel and exciting avenues for the prevention and treatment of heart diseases. Molecular Cardiology: Methods and Protocols consists of 26 chapters de- ing with various aspects of molecular cardiology, including gene transfer and gene therapy for cardiovascular disease, stem cell therapy for cardiovascular disease, gene analysis in the injured and hypertrophied heart, and transgenesis in cardiovascular research. This book provides step-by-step methods for the successful completion of experimental procedures, and would be useful for both experienced and new investigators in the field of molecular cardiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.
