Cardiology and Cardiac Patients

Description of Subtheme:

The subtheme "Cardiology and Cardiac Patients" focuses on research related to cardiology, cardiovascular diseases, and cardiac patient care. It encompasses various aspects, including the prevention and diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. Research in cardiology is essential to addressing the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases and developing effective strategies for prevention, early detection, and treatment, especially in highly challenging and limited-resource settings.

Research Action Plan:

Conduct research to identify risk factors, biomarkers, and genetic predispositions associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Explore primary and secondary prevention strategies, including lifestyle modifications and early detection methods.

Explore the efficacy and safety of different treatment modalities for cardiovascular diseases, cardiac rehabilitation programs, and surgical interventions.

Compare outcomes, complications, and long-term effects of different treatment approaches.

Follow up with readmission and mortality rates of these patients

Study the impact of cardiac rehabilitation programs and lifestyle interventions on cardiac patients' recovery, quality of life, and long-term outcomes.

Investigate the role of health technology and digital health solutions in managing and monitoring cardiac patients.
