Cardiovascular Disease, Person-Centered Care, Multimorbidity, Healthcare Systems, Evidence-Based Practice, Chronic Illness ManagementAbstract
Background _ Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality and disability in the United States and globally. Despite technological advancements that have improved life expectancy and quality of life, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases continues to rise, often associated with aging populations experiencing multiple chronic conditions. Current clinical guidelines often neglect the complexity of multimorbidity and the intricacies of healthcare systems, making their practical implementation challenging. Moreover, care plans frequently fail to consider individual preferences, cultures, and lifestyles that shape a person's social and environmental context, hindering acceptance and effectiveness, particularly among high-risk populations. Aim of Work – The objective of this scientific statement is to provide a comprehensive overview of person-centered care delivery models for specific cardiovascular disorders, emphasizing the features and documented outcomes of these approaches. Methods – A scoping study was conducted using a systematic search of databases including Ovid MEDLINE, Embase.com, Web of Science, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials via Ovid, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering the period from 2010 to 2017. Various research designs were included that specifically assessed care delivery methods for targeted cardiovascular diseases.
