Resumen
Los cuidados paliativos mejoran la calidad de vida de los pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV), especialmente aquellos con insuficiencia cardíaca. Esta revisión explora su papel en todos los tipos de ECV, abogando por modelos personalizados para mejorar la atención centrada en el paciente.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cardiología
- Medicina de cuidados paliativos
Sus antecedentes:
- Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) son una de las principales causas mundiales de muerte, con una morbilidad y mortalidad significativas que afectan la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
- Los cuidados paliativos están establecidos en el manejo de la insuficiencia cardíaca, mejorando los resultados centrados en el paciente, pero su papel en otras enfermedades cardiovasculares está menos definido.
- Las directrices actuales incorporan cuidados paliativos para la insuficiencia cardíaca, sin embargo, su aplicación en todo el espectro de ECV sigue siendo incierta.
Conclusiones:
- Los cuidados paliativos son vitales en todas las etapas de la enfermedad cardiovascular, desde el diagnóstico hasta la atención terminal, mejorando el bienestar del paciente.
- Es necesario desarrollar y estudiar modelos específicos de cuidados paliativos cardiovasculares para superar las barreras existentes y mejorar los resultados de los pacientes.
- Se recomienda un enfoque estructurado para avanzar en los cuidados paliativos cardiovasculares, asegurando una mejor atención acordada con el objetivo para esta población.

1.5K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

01:29Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care
14
Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...

01:27Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care
11
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

9
Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

11
Dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, is a progressive myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction.EtiologyVarious factors can cause DCM, including hypertension and heavy alcohol intake, which contribute to the weakening and enlargement of the heart muscle. Viral infections, such as Coxsackievirus B, adenoviruses, and influenza, can lead to DCM by causing inflammation and damage to heart tissue. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, including daunorubicin,...

Additional therapies for treating patients with heart failure (HF) may include procedural interventions, supplemental oxygen, the management of sleep disorders, and nutritional therapy.Procedural InterventionsImplantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator: For patients at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias due to severe left ventricular dysfunction, an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) can detect and terminate these arrhythmias, preventing sudden cardiac death and improving survival rates.
