The Effect of Educational Intervention on Nurses' Attitudes and Beliefs about Depression in Heart Failure Patients.
Authors: Lea P Abstract Systematic depression screening is feasible, efficient, and well accepted; however the lack of consistent assessment in heart failure inpatients suggests barriers preventing its effective diagnosis and treatment. This pilot study assessed the impact of an educational intervention on nurses' beliefs about depression and their likelihood of routinely screening heart failure patients. Registered nurses (n = 35) from adult medical-surgical units were surveyed before and after an educational intervention to assess their beliefs about depression prevalence and screening in heart failure patients. ...

How to manage patients with eating disorders in the inpatient setting
Case Dr. Wimberly A 25-year-old female pharmacy student is brought to the emergency department by her parents after a presyncopal episode while at home for a school break. Her parents are concerned that she has lost quite a bit of weight over the last year. Initial vitals are notable for HR 38 and supine BP 110/70. Upon standing, BP decreases to 85/60 and HR increases to 115.  Labs are notable for slightly low potassium and normal serum phosphorus. BMI is 15.2.   Background Eating disorders (EDs) are serious psychiatric illnesses with significant morbidity and mortality. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental...

Development and Pilot Testing of a Tailored Text Messaging Intervention to Improve Self-efficacy and Health Beliefs About Self-care in People with Heart Failure
Self-efficacy and health beliefs are important modifiable factors influencing adherence to self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure (HF). Text messaging (TM) is a low-cost and scalable solution for delivering behavior change intervention and improving patient outcomes, yet it is largely unexplored in patients with HF.

Knowledge, goals, and misperceptions about palliative care in adults with chronic disease or cancer
We examined the knowledge of and misconceptions about palliative care among these groups.METHODS: We used weighted data from the National Cancer Institute Health Information National Trends Survey 5 (Cycle 2) for nationally representative estimates and logistic regression to adjust for respondent characteristics. We identified respondents who reported having (1) cancer ([n = 585]; breast, lung, and colorectal), (2) chronic conditions ([n = 543]; heart failure, lung disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), or (3) neither cancer nor other chronic conditions (n = 2,376).RESULTS: Compared to cancer respondents, chr...

Differences in Self-Care Benefit and Barrier Beliefs in Patients With and Without Visiting Nurse Follow Up
The purpose of this study is to compare benefit and barrier beliefs between patients with and without visiting nurse follow up. Heart failure self-care behaviors including following a low sodium diet, taking diuretics and monitoring for symptoms are important activities to maintain health and prevent hospitalization. Beliefs are linked to self-care behaviors. Patients who believe a behavior will promote health are more likely to perform the self-care behavior. Home care nurses play a pivotal role in promoting behavior change in this population through outpatient education. No prior studies have explored the differences in...

Abstract 151: End-of-Life Care for Left Ventricular Assist Devices: Differing Perspectives of Cardiology and Palliative Care and Hospice Providers Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusion: Cardiology providers and palliative care/hospice providers collectively have different perceptions on management of end of life in patients with an LVAD. Bridging the gaps between these two disciplines is a critical first step in creating a more cohesive approach to end-of-life care for these patients—one that honors autonomy but respects individual provider comfort levels.

Variations in Ischemic Heart Disease Burden by Age, Country, and Income: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2010 Study
Conclusions: The majority of IHD burden in 2010 affected middle-income regions, where younger adults were more likely to develop IHD in regions such as South Asia and North Africa/Middle East. However, IHD burden varied substantially by country within regions, especially among middle-income countries. A global or regional approach to IHD prevention will not be sufficient; research and policy should focus on the highest burden countries within regions.

Edwards Sapien 3 transcatheter aortic valve implantation for management of severe aortic regurgitation in a teenage patient with corrected atrioventricular septal defect and progressive left ventricular dysfunction
We report a case of a teenage patient presenting with progressive aortic regurgitation and deterioration of left ventricular function after multiple surgical procedures for an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). As “bridge‐to‐transplant,” we performed a transcatheter aortic valve implantation using a balloon‐expandable Sapien 3 prosthesis. At 6 month follow‐up, the patient remained clinically stable with no rehospitalization due to heart failure.

Arterial stiffness and chronic kidney disease: lessons from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to highlight what the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study has taught us regarding arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease. The CRIC study began in mid-2003 and enrolled more than 3900 people with chronic kidney disease. Recent findings: The recent findings from the CRIC study are covered in 10 lessons. Within the CRIC study, we enrolled about 2800 participants who underwent a pulse wave velocity measurement. At the time of initial funding, very little was known about the role of arterial stiffness in chronic, nondialyzed, kidney disease. The lessons span the...
