Chronic disease intervention in patients with cardiovascular disorders: a systematic review

This study aims to determine the elements of cardiovascular programs for risk management in elderly individuals with cardiac illness, with a focus on the features of the initiatives, advantages, and behavioral modification methodologies utilized.

In November 2022, a systematic literature search was conducted following PRISMA recommendations. Researchers used the databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Academic Search Complete, as well as Mediclatina to conduct the research. The scholarly study population included 21 publications encompassing 26,040 patients with chronic diseases. The study took a qualitative approach to examine residents' use of phrases like "severe illness" and "non-communicable diseases," as well as terms connected to interventions like "programme development," "long-term care," and "community health planning." The results of the study were analyzed in terms of expected outcomes for cardiovascular disease in terms of behavior patterns, risk assessment, and co-morbidities.

The constituents, expertise fields of study associated, timeframe, as well as techniques employed vary across prevention strategies. The most common behavior modification methodologies are advice and negotiation.

In conclusion, the researcher describes that informative involvement is an agreed-upon method for controlling CVD threat in people with prolonged illnesses. The program's effectiveness cannot be determined due to the heterogeneity of the interventions. More research is required to improve the consistency of the results.
