“…Then, start to take aspirin according to the doctor's advice and take nitroglycerin to improve symptoms; when the number of attacks exceeds two times a week, calcium channel blockers should be added to nitroglycerin. If angina is not controlled, long-acting nitrates can be added [ 20 ]. However, it should be noted that the frequency and severity of angina pectoris and the type of pain must be taken into consideration when using the abovementioned drugs.…”

With the accelerating pace of life, increasing stress and unhealthy diet make cardiovascular disease one of the important diseases that endanger human health, among which the incidence of acute angina is gradually increasing. At present, there are many clinical treatment studies on acute angina pectoris, but the relevant imaging analysis is very lacking. In order to study the clinical treatment of patients with acute angina pectoris and analyze the relevant medical images, to arrive at a more effective treatment method, this article launched an in-depth study. First, we selected 88 patients with acute angina in a hospital as the research object and randomly divided them into a control group (n = 44) and an experimental group (n = 44) Yan et al. (2020). The control group was treated with conventional acute angina pectoris drugs, while the experimental group was treated with clopidogrel on this basis. The two groups were treated at the same time, and the treatment time lasted for 3 months. Then, the risk factors of the two groups of patients were analyzed, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Then, the medical images of the two groups of patients were analyzed, and the diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and coronary artery stenosis were compared before and after treatment. After treatment, the diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure of the experimental group were 88.31 ± 3.15 mmHg and 125.63 ± 4.16 mmHg, respectively. The proportion of patients with zero-vessel disease and single-vessel disease in the experimental group increased to 15.91% and 56.82%. The treatment plan received by the experimental group patients had a better improvement effect. Finally, the clinical efficacy was compared. The total effective rates of the control and experimental groups were 72.7% and 88.6%, respectively. This shows that the treatment method adopted by the experimental group of patients has a better curative effect and is worthy of clinical promotion.

“…Interestingly, more than 60% of cardiac SAs perceived that they are doing simple tasks and that their job is not challenging enough. According to DePalma et al (2019) , who conducted a study of job satisfaction in cardiovascular medicine PAs in the US, most who responded (87.3%) were satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs. They related their high job satisfaction to job factors related to challenge and high levels of autonomy.…”

Concerns about job design of the cardiac surgical assistant workforce such as role autonomy and job dissatisfaction have been outlined in the literature, although scant empirical research has examined these concerns from the perspective of cardiac surgical assistants themselves. This study surveyed the job design of cardiac surgical assistants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using Morgeson and Humphrey’s Work Design Questionnaire. All scalable items within the questionnaire were reported as satisfactory except for ‘autonomy’, ‘task identity’, ‘feedback from the job’, ‘job complexity’, ‘social support’, ‘feedback from others’, ‘ergonomic’ and ‘work condition’. The results provide insight into aspects of cardiac surgical assistants’ role characteristics and contribute to the body of knowledge about their organisational psychology. Given the growth of cardiothoracic operations, the role of the surgical care assistant needs to be further developed to address the job design issues raised.

“…This was surprising because autonomy has previously demonstrated statistically significant associations with PA well-being. [9][10][11][12][13]30 Studies of physicians and NPs have found similar associations. [31][32][33][34] Influence of CP relationship on PA well-being The quality of the CP relationship was the strongest direct predictor in the study of PA professional fulfillment and burnout.…”

“…Bell and colleagues discovered that increased personal accomplishment of PAs in emergency medicine correlated with increased perceived autonomy 12. In a study of PAs in cardiology, using a tool validated only among NPs, DePalma and colleagues concluded that when compared with other job factors, those related to challenge and autonomy were most satisfying for respondents 13. Autonomy is a consistent job satisfier across PA well-being studies.…”

rends in the modernization of state laws and regulations governing physician associate/assistant (PA) practice refl ect a move toward greater autonomy and less required physician supervision. 1 The movement, termed optimal team practice (OTP) and endorsed by the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), aims to facilitate the removal of the legally mandated relationship between a PA and a specifi c physician from state-level PA statutes and regulations. 2 Historically, PAs have practiced in a delegated supervisory model, which allows for early-career support with everincreasing levels of autonomy as their experience levels
