“…Wise and Patrick35 stress that a modest increase in daily activities can improve health and quality of life for persons with unexplained chest pain. Jonsbu et al36 use the expression “noncardiac chest pain”.…”

BackgroundUnexplained chest pain is a common condition. Despite negative findings, a large number of these patients will continue to suffer from chest pain after being investigated at cardiac outpatient clinics. Unexplained chest pain covers many possible complaints, and diagnosing a single cause for a patient’s pain is often described as difficult, as there are a number of possible factors that can contribute to the condition. For health professionals to meet patients’ expectations, they must know more about the information needs of patients with unexplained chest pain. The aim of this study was to describe information needs among patients with unexplained chest pain and how those needs were met by health professionals during medical consultations.MethodsA qualitative design was used. Data were collected by means of seven individual interviews with four women and three men, aged 21–62 years. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe results are described in two subthemes, ie, “experiencing lack of focus on individual problems” and “experiencing unanswered questions”. These were further abstracted under the main theme “experiencing unmet information needs”.ConclusionExisting models of consultations should be complemented to include a person-centered approach to meeting patients’ beliefs, perceptions, and expressions of feelings related to experiencing unexplained chest pain. This is in line with a biopsychosocial model with active patient participation, shared decision-making, and a multidisciplinary approach. Such an approach is directly within the domain of nursing, and aims to take into account patient experience.

“…Therefore, correct technique and supervision may be necessary, as well as appropriate screening of cardiac patients, their cardiac stress tolerance and clinical status (Bjarnason-Wehrens et al, 2004), to ensure safety during RT exercise. Breath holding, or the Valsalva manoeuvre (attempting to exhale against a closed glottis), should be avoided (Wise & Patrick., 2011).…”

Overview Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the greatest cause of morbidity and premature mortality in western society and is an umbrella term for a number of disorders, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke. The UK has seen a reduction in the mortality of CVD, mainly due to the advancement of medical care and surgical interventions, but also as a result of alteration in lifestyle risk factors of patients following diagnosis through cardiac rehabilitation activities. This chapter will focus on the role of physical activity in the rehabilitation of those diagnosed with a cardiac condition. The Cardiovascular System The heart consists of four chambers, the 'upper' right and left atrium and the 'lower' right and left ventricles. Valves between the upper and lower chambers ensure the one directional flow of blood. Both atrium contract at approximately the same time, as do both ventricles, ejecting blood out of the heart ensuring effective blood flow to the pulmonary (right side of the heart) and systemic circulation (left side of the heart). The heart muscle, the myocardium, receives its supply of blood and nutrients via the coronary arteries, which form part of the coronary circulation. The coronary circulation emerges at the root of the aorta, distributing blood and oxygen to the myocardium, with deoxygenated blood returned to the right atrium via coronary veins. The two main coronary arteries

“…In addition, it is essential that strategies designed to educate women about the benefits of strength training need to include information concerning resulting increases in bone mineral density [16], improvements in quality of sleep, and the building of healthy heart tissue [2]. Lastly, it is documented that adequate strength training could have similar positive cardiovascular benefits as noted for aerobic training [5].…”

“…Strength training can be easier to tolerate [3] and a faster way to burn fat when compared to aerobic exercise alone [4]. In addition, strength training could have similar positive cardiovascular benefits as noted for aerobic training [5]. For women, strength training could be especially appealing due to the fact that these activities improve overall physical appearance and body image [6].…”

Despite multiple health benefits of strength training, it is reported that only 14.7% of American women engage in the recommended amount of physical activity. Whereas the potential negative consequences of not exercising are well documented, there is a scarcity of literature that investigates the determinants of strength training in rural women. In-depth interviews were utilized to identify the perceptions, knowledge, motivation, and skills regarding strength training. Fifteen women from four target counties participated in this qualitative study. The study was guided by Self-determination Theory. Results indicated that factors such as the lack of knowledge about strength training, the lack of skills, the history of sports participation and the perceived effect of strength training on a woman's appearance can possibly explain some of the reasons for low strength training participation among rural women in Georgia. In addition, this study suggests that history of sports participation could be one of the factors that can develop the highest form of motivation for physical activity; therefore, this relationship should be investigated further. Due to the fact that rural areas are deprived of economic and financial resources, it is especially important for health care providers to use these findings to better understand the intra-and interpersonal determinants of physical activity in rural women in order to develop the most effective physical activity interventions.
