    (Kare Publ, 2024) Karabulut, Dilay; Gunay, Seyda; Sekerci, Sena Sert; Aydin, Ertan; Koz, Kerem; Katkat, Fahrettin; Sarac, Ibrahim
    Objective: Heart failure is a leading cause of death and the most common diagnosis leading to hospitalization. Its awareness is lower than that of other cardiovascular diseases, both in the general population and among patients with heart failure (HF). This study aimed to establish the current level of knowledge about HF in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) in T & uuml;rkiye. Methods: This questionnaire-based survey study is multicenter, conducted across 34 centers from December 2021 to July 2022. We performed a survey consisting of two sets of questions focusing on individual characteristics of the patients and HF-related knowledge. Results: The study included a total of 2,307 outpatient HF patients, comprising 70.5% males and 29.5% females with a mean age of 64.58 +/- 13 (56-74) years and a mean body mass index value of 32.5 +/- 10 kg/m2. 2 . HFrEF and HFmrEF were determined in 74.7% and 25.3% of patients, respectively. Thirty percent of the patients were unaware that they had HF. While 28.7% of the patients thought that they had sufficient information about HF, 71.3% believed they lacked adequate knowledge. In the study, 25.2% of the participants identified dyspnea, 22% identified tiredness, and 25.4% identified leg edema as the most common symptoms of HF. Only 27.4% of patients recognized all three typical symptoms of HF. Conclusion: We found that the study population's knowledge about HF symptoms and the nature of the disease was poor. Educational and awareness activities are necessary to optimize outcomes and benefits.

    The Effect of Computerized Wobble Board and Core Stabilization Exercises on Balance Performance and Exercise Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2024) Durdu, Habibe; Demir, Rengin; Zeren, Melih; Aydin, Ertan; Gunaydin, Zeki Yuksel; Yigit, Zerrin
    Objective: To investigate the effects of computerized wobble board exercise training (CWBET) and core stabilization exercise training (CSET) on balance performance, and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure (HF). Desing: Single-blind randomized controlled prospective study. Setting: Cardiology department of a local university hospital. Participants: Fifty-one patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, whose clinical status and medication had been stable for the previous 3 months, were included (N=51). Nine patients could not complete the follow-up period due to personal reasons. No patient experienced any adverse events during exercise training. Interventions: Patients were randomized to CWBET, CSET, and control group. CWBET and CSET groups participated in their own exercise programs, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The control group received no exercise program. Main Outcome Measures: All patients were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks. Postural stability, static and functional balance, and exercise capacity were evaluated with the Sensamove Balance Test Pro with Miniboard, the one-leg stance test (OLS), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the six-minute walk distance (6MWD), respectively. Core stabilization and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were assessed with OCTOcore app, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, respectively. Results: A mixed model repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant group x time interaction effect for static postural stability performance (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.472), vertical (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.513), horizontal performance (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.467), OLS (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.474), BBS (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.440) scores, 6MWD (P<.001, eta(2)(p)=0.706), and HRQOL. Post hoc analysis revealed CWBET and CSET groups had similar improvements balance performance, exercise capacity, and HRQOL and both groups significantly improved compared with control group (P<.001). Core stabilization was significantly improved only in CSET group after 8 weeks. Conclusion: CWBET and CSET programs were equally effective and safe for improving balance performance and exercise capacity in patients with HF.
