Summary
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention requires proactive monitoring. We introduce cardiovigilance, a systematic approach to watch for, screen, diagnose, and manage CVD effectively.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a significant global burden of disease, contributing to widespread morbidity and mortality.
- Addressing the CVD pandemic necessitates coordinated efforts from healthcare professionals and stakeholders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and define the concept of cardiovigilance in healthcare.
- To elaborate on the utility and practical application of cardiovigilance.
- To propose taxonomic structures for simplifying cardiovigilance practices.
Main Methods:
- Conceptualization and definition of cardiovigilance.
- Exploration of its practical implications in clinical settings.
- Development of classification systems for cardiovigilance.
Main Results:
- Cardiovigilance is defined as the careful monitoring to prevent, screen, diagnose, and manage CVD promptly.
- The concept's utility in enhancing CVD management is discussed.
- Taxonomic rubrics are suggested to streamline cardiovigilance implementation.
Conclusions:
- Cardiovigilance offers a structured framework for improving cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
- Its adoption can lead to more timely and appropriate interventions.
- Standardized approaches will facilitate the integration of cardiovigilance into routine healthcare.

1.5K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

3.8K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Cardiac emergencies are critical situations involving the heart that require immediate medical intervention to prevent severe complications or death. These emergencies often arise from underlying heart conditions that impair the heart's ability to function correctly.Types of Cardiac EmergenciesThe most common types of cardiac emergencies include Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrest, and heart failure.Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)...

1.3K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
