Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guides caregivers of those with heart disease through the process of supporting their loved one without sacrificing their own personal needs and wellbeing. Over 30 million people in the US suffer from heart disease and it is universally feared as the most common cause of death. Through the various stages of heart disease, patients need increasing care from their friends, family members, or other caregivers. Caring for Loved Ones with Heart Disease helps caregivers get appropriately involved in the care of their loved one’s heart disease management and treatment while maintaining their own physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Offering accessible information about heart diseases, treatments, common problems, the challenges of caregiving, and more, this work fills the increasing need among caregivers to understand everything their loved one will face from the doctor’s office to operating room to home care. Importantly, however, Jignesh Shah does not overlook the needs of the caregiver, providing tips and tools for balancing the complexities of advocacy and hand-on care with the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs of the caregiver. Shah teaches readers about various resources to help maintain a balance between performing these critical functions and tending to their own needs. Any friend or family member assisting in the care of a loved one will find the guidance offered throughout this book indispensible.

At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: End-of-life issues in cardiology are becoming increasingly important in the management of patients in the cardiac unit, but there is frequently a lack of understanding regarding their impact on cardiology practice. The cardiac unit is increasingly becoming the location whereby a number of key clinical decisions relating to end-of-life care are being made, such as the decision to remove medications, the appropriate removal of cardiac devices, the management of do not resuscitate orders and the requirement for other cardiac procedures in light of the management of the terminally ill cardiac patients. Those working in palliative care need input from the cardiovascular team as the cardiologist is frequently still managing these patients until they are moved to the hospice. That this move into a hospice is often delayed until the very last moment, there is considerable onus on the cardiovascular management of these patients to be much broader in scope and take account of some of the more palliative medical decisions needed in this group of patients. This concise reference will detail the practical issues open to cardiovascular physicians and those medical professionals who manage patients reaching the end of their life from a cardiology perspective. It will detail the full management options open to them to ensure that their practice is in line with the requirements of the patient nearing the end of their life whether the cause be cardiovascular in origin or who need appropriate management of secondary cardiovascular symptoms. It will also include the various ethical, cultural and geographical issues that need to be considered when managing these patients.
