Evidence-Based Resources for Cardiovascular Care

Cardiovascular disease is a health priority due to its substantial impact on global health, mortality, and healthcare costs. Prioritising prevention, early detection, and evidence-based management of cardiovascular disease can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare expenses, and promote overall population health.  

Telemonitoring is an effective tool for promoting self-care behaviours among community-dwelling adults with heart failure. This technology allows patients to monitor their physiological signs and symptoms at home and receive real-time feedback and support from healthcare professionals.  

Evidence suggests that telemonitoring increases patient engagement, self-efficacy, and adherence to self-care behaviours, leading to improved clinical outcomes and better patient care.

A JBI Best Practice Information Sheet from the JBI EBP Database summarises the best available evidence for the effectiveness of telemonitoring on self-care behaviours among adults living with heart failure in the community, and outlines the clinically relevant, evidence-based recommendations from the results of a JBI Systematic Review, Effectiveness of telemonitoring on self-care behaviors among community-dwelling adults with heart failure

The JBI EBP Database offers 300+ evidence-based resources related to cardiovascular care, covering primary prevention, screening, diagnosis, disease management, and secondary prevention. These evidence-based resources include this month's free access resources, the JBI Evidence Summary and JBI Recommended Practice on best practice recommendations for the education of patients with atrial fibrillation.
