Collectively, cardiomyopathies are the most common inherited cardiac condition. They affect the structure of the heart muscle, sometimes leading to heart failure or sudden cardiac death. Advances in genetic testing for cardiomyopathies mean that this can now be offered to more patients, influencing care and treatment options. This article looks at the contributions made by nurses to the care of people who have, or are at risk of, an inherited cardiomyopathy.","PeriodicalId":72463,"journal":{"name":"British journal of cardiac nursing","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74748655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article is the first in a two-part series, reporting on a mixed-methods systematic review, which sought to evaluate the effectiveness of non-invasive remote monitoring on quality of life among patients with chronic heart failure. As quality of life is a subjective concept regarding how individuals perceive their health status and satisfaction with life, a mixed-methods approach was deemed appropriate. The review questions were: is telemonitoring effective in improving quality of life among patients with chronic heart failure in the community, and how do these patients perceive and experience telemonitoring in terms of their quality of life? The mixed-methods review follows a convergent segregated approach, drawing evidence-based and credible recommendations for clinical practice and policy decision making. This article will describe the development of the review protocol.","PeriodicalId":72463,"journal":{"name":"British journal of cardiac nursing","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91156856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
