Abstract:
Aim: Alcohol is a known cardiac toxin and heavy consumption can lead to heart failure (HF). However, the relationship between moderate alcohol consumption and risk for HF, in either men or women, remains unclear. Methods and results: We examined 14,629 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (54±6 years, 55% women) without prevalent HF at baseline (1987-89) who were followed for 24±1 years. Self-reported alcohol consumption was assessed as the number of drinks/week (1 drink=14g of alcohol) at baseline, and updated cumulative average alcohol intake was calculated over 8.9±0.3 years. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, we examined the relation of alcohol intake with incident HF and assessed whether associations were modified by sex. Overall, most participants were abstainers (42%) or former drinkers (19%), with 25% reporting up to 7 drinks per week, 8% reporting ≥7 to 14 drinks per week, and 3% reporting ≥14 to 21 and ≥ 21 drinks per week, respectively. Incident HF occurred in 1,271 men and 1,237 women. Men consuming up to 7 drinks/week had reduced risk of HF relative to abstainers (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68-0.94, p=0.006); this effect was less robust in women (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.71-1.00, p=0.05). In the higher drinking categories the risk of HF was not significantly different from abstainers, either in men or in women. Conclusion: In the community, alcohol consumption of up to 7 drinks/week at early-middle age is associated with lower risk for future HF, with a similar but less definite association in women than in men. These findings suggest that despite the dangers of heavy drinking, modest alcohol consumption in early-middle age may be associated with a lower risk of HF.

Full text
Abstract:
An accumulation of epidemiological studies along with several lines of experimental research highlight sustained elevated resting heart rate as a significant predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, resting heart rate as a simple and inexpensive clinical parameter often remains overlooked by physicians. We therefore sought to raise awareness concerning the detrimental role of elevated resting heart rate in cardiovascular disease. Using three separate large prospective cohort studies, we examined the clinical importance of accelerated resting heart rate as a robust predictor of adverse cardiovascular prognosis. The current data supports the contention that a raised resting heart rate amplifies the risk of having several cardio-metabolic risk factors including type 2 diabetes mellitus, the metabolic syndrome, and increased pulse wave velocity. Resting tachycardia also appeared to increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality in otherwise healthy individuals, as well as negatively predicting outcome in patients already at-risk for the condition. Notably, we observed a strong synergistic effect between inflammatory activity and concurrent elevated resting heart rate among those who experienced a cardiovascular event. Overall, these findings underline the relevance of a high resting heart rate in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and in the clinical manifestations of cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract:
The objectives of the study were to identify which risk factors for heart disease were most prevalent in a poor, underserved, rural Appalachian county. A random sample of medical records was selected (n = 292) of adult men and women who participated in a countywide health care project. Data were obtained from a health risk appraisal questionnaire and other physical and demographic information and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical procedures. The findings indicated that these rural Appalachian subjects had a significant number of heart disease risk factors: excessive smoking, lack of exercise, high fat diets, and abnormal serum lipid levels.

Abstract:
The heart is a fundamental aspect of the human body. Significant work has been undertaken to better understand the characteristics and mechanisms of this organ in past research. Greater understanding of the heart not only provides advances in medicine but also enables practitioners to better assess the health risk of patients. This thesis approaches the study of the heart from a health informatics perspective. The questions posed in this thesis is whether research is capable of describing and modelling heart data from a statistical perspective, along with exploring techniques to improve the accuracy of clinical risk assessment algorithms that rely on this data. The contributions of this thesis may be grouped into two main areas: statistical analysis, modelling and simulation of heart data; and improved risk assessment accuracy of the Early Warning Score (EWS) algorithm using a quartile-based technique. Statistical analysis of heart data, namely RR intervals, contributes to more informed understanding of the underlying characteristics of the heart and is achieved using null-hypothesis testing through the Anderson-Darling (AD) test statistic. The modelling process of heart data demonstrates methodologies for simulation of this data type, namely individual distribution modelling and normal mixture modelling, and contributes to assessing techniques that are most capable of modelling this type of data. For improved accuracy on the EWS algorithms, a quartiles technique, inspired by anomaly-based intrusion detection systems, is presented which enables customisation of risk score thresholds for each patient defined during a training phase. Simulated heart data is used to evaluate the standard EWS algorithm against the quartile-based approach. The defined metric of accuracy ratio provides quantitative evidence on the accuracy of the standard EWS algorithm in comparison with the proposed quartile based technique. Statistical analysis in this thesis demonstrates that samples of heart data can be described using normal, Weibull, logistic and gamma distribution within the scope of two minute data samples. When there is strong evidence to suggest that RR intervals analysed fits a particular distribution, individual modelling technique is the ideal candidate whilst normal mixture modelling is better suited for long-term modelling, i.e. greater than two minutes of heart data. In comparative evaluation of the standard EWS algorithm and the quartile-based technique using modelled heart data, greater accuracy is demonstrated in the quartiles-based technique for patients whose heart rate is healthy, but outside the normal ranges of the general population.

However, their conclusions conflicted a little bit with each other. In this case, a systematic review may help drawing a more comprehensive conclusion. Therefore, the purpose of the present analysis is to tell if periodontitis is associated with HF as well as the subtypes of HF.

Abstract:
30 Day Hospital Readmission Rates, Frequencies, and Heart Failure Classification for Patients with Heart Failure Background Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the leading cause of mortality, morbidity, and disability worldwide among patients. Both the incidence and the prevalence of heart failure are age dependent and are relatively common in individuals 40 years of age and older. CHF is one of the leading causes of inpatient hospitalization readmission in the United States, with readmission rates remaining above the 20% goal within 30 days. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services imposes a 3% reimbursement penalty for excessive readmissions including those who are readmitted within 30 days from prior hospitalization for heart failure. Hospitals risk losing millions of dollars due to poor performance. A reduction in CHF readmission rates not only improves healthcare system expenditures, but also patients’ mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. Purpose The purpose of this DNP project is to determine the 30-day hospital readmission rates, frequencies, and heart failure classification for patients with heart failure. Specific aims include comparing computed annual re-admission rates with national average, determine the number of multiple 30-day re-admissions, provide descriptive data for demographic variables, and correlate age and heart failure classification with the number of multiple re-admissions. Methods A retrospective chart review was used to collect hospital admission and study data. The setting occurred in an urban hospital in Memphis, TN. The study was reviewed by the UTHSC Internal Review Board and deemed exempt. The electronic medical records were queried from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 for heart failure ICD-10 codes beginning with the prefix 150 and a report was generated. Data was cleaned such that each patient admitted had only one heart failure ICD-10 code. The total number of heart failure admissions was computed and compared to national average. Using age ranges 40-80, the number of patients re-admitted withing 30 days was computed and descriptive and inferential statistics were computed using Microsoft Excel and R. Results A total of 3524 patients were admitted for heart failure within the six-month time frame. Of those, 297 were re-admitted within 30 days for heart failure exacerbation (8.39%). An annual estimate was computed (16.86%), well below the national average (21%). Of those re-admitted within 30 days, 50 were re-admitted on multiple occasions sequentially, ranging from 2-8 re-admissions. The median age was 60 and 60% male. Due to the skewed distribution (most re-admitted twice), nonparametric statistics were used for correlation. While graphic display of charts suggested a trend for most multiple re-admissions due to diastolic dysfunction and least number due to systolic heart failure, there was no statistically significant correlation between age and number or multiple re-admissions (Spearman rank, p = 0.6208) or number of multiple re-admissions and heart failure classification (Kruskal Wallis, p =0.2553).
