Quality Care and Monitoring of Patients with Angina Pectoris

Abstract

Angina pectoris, a prevalent cardiovascular condition causing chest pain due to inadequate blood flow to the heart, poses significant health challenges worldwide. This study evaluates the impact of integrating modern technologies, such as wearable devices and telemedicine, into angina management compared to traditional care methods. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research involved patients from both advanced and resource-limited settings, comparing outcomes between those receiving standard care and those using modern technologies. Findings reveal that the use of wearable devices and telemedicine led to a 30% reduction in angina attacks, significant improvements in heart rate variability and blood pressure, and increased patient adherence to treatment. Despite these promising results, gaps remain in understanding the long-term effectiveness and cost-efficiency of these technologies, particularly in less-resourced areas. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the sustained impact and explore strategies for broader implementation. Addressing these knowledge gaps is crucial for advancing the management of angina and ensuring equitable access to innovative healthcare solutions globally.
