What is Nitrostat

NitroglycerinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNitroglycerin is a medication used to treat chest pain and high blood pressure. It was first approved in 2000 and is now made by Pfizer and other companies in different forms like a spray, tablets, an intravenous form, an extended-release form, and a transdermal form. In addition to treating angina, nitroglycerin can also be used as an ointment to relieve the pain of anal fissures. The rectal ointment form of nitroglycerin was approved by the FDA in 1955.

Effectiveness

How Nitrostat Affects PatientsNitroglycerin helps to relax the walls of blood vessels and increases blood flow to the heart. This reduces the amount of work the heart needs to do and improves symptoms of chest pain. However, taking nitroglycerin for a long time can make it less effective, as the body gets used to it. This is because the enzyme that activates nitroglycerin is blocked. Nitroglycerin tolerance can also lead to other issues, such as a pro-oxidant effect, reduced blood vessel function, and increased sensitivity to medicines that constrict blood vessels.
How Nitrostat works in the bodyNitroglycerin helps to relax and open up blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow. It does this by converting to nitric oxide in the cells, which starts a chain reaction. Nitric oxide activates an enzyme that turns a molecule in the body into cyclic GMP, which relaxes the muscles in the blood vessels and increases blood flow. It also seems to target receptors that help control how much salt and water are in your body.

When to interrupt dosage

The amount of Nitrostat is contingent upon the diagnosed illness, including Coronary Artery Spasm, induction of Uterine relaxation and Anal Fissure. The dosage also depends on the technique of administration (e.g. Tablet or Tablet - Oral) depicted in the table beneath.

This drug is really effective in a short amount of time. I have COPD and use it before physical activity to help with my breathing. In the 35 days that I've been using it, some days I don't need it at all.

I've found this medication to be effective in treating occasional chest pain and angina attacks. Sometimes I have had to take a second one for the same episode, but my doctor says no more than 3.

Nitrostat for Angina
Nitrostat is very effective at quickly reducing the intensity of my angina pain, though it doesn't completely eliminate it. I worry about taking a second pill since it might drop my blood pressure too low; however, if the pain becomes unbearable, I would take another one and call for medical assistance.

Endovascular Treatment for Stroke

18+
All Sexes
Richmond, VA
Endovascular therapy (EVT) has proven to be more beneficial for patients with AIS caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO) than medical management alone. A recent meta-analysis of 5 RCTs showed that EVT significantly reduced disability at 90 days compared to medical management \[1\]. Despite its obvious benefits, patients may have neurological deterioration despite successful thrombectomy due to ischemia progression, intracranial hemorrhage, re-occlusion, or vasogenic edema. The incidence of early neurological deterioration (END) following EVT for acute stroke has been reported to be ranging from 14.1-35.2% with some studies defining END up to 7 days and some restricting the definition between 6-72 hours post thrombectomy. A small proportion of these patients, approximately 5.9-10.5%, experienced sICH following EVT. Whether END occurs due to ischemic or hemorrhagic it leads to worse outcomes.

Next Day Clinic for Patient Care

Los Angeles, CA
The Next Day Clinic (NDC) is a quality improvement initiative that will be launched and operated by UCLA Health starting July 22, 2024. Its goals are to improve patient care and safety and to maximize cost effectiveness. The way it does this is by identifying patients in the ED who would normally be admitted for low-acuity conditions, and diverting them to a high-acuity clinic the following day called the NDC. This will help decompress the ED and the hospital, and allow for overall higher quality care. The Health System has partnered with UCLA's Healthcare Value Analytics and Solutions \[UVAS\] group which specializes in these types of program evaluations. The analysis conducted by the study team will be used to directly inform NDC operations, scaling, and future plans.

Pharmacy Intervention for Medication Adherence

18+
All Sexes
Knoxville, TN
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital discharge among low-income individuals are related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and include: 1) financial barriers , 2) transportation barriers, and 3) system-level barriers. Although, medication therapy management services are important during care transitions, these services have not proven effective in improving medication adherence after hospital discharge, highlighting a critical need for innovative interventions. The Medication Affordability, Accessibility, and Availability in Care Transitions (Med AAAction) Study will test the effectiveness of a pharmacy-led care transitions intervention versus usual care through a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of 388 Medicaid and uninsured hospital in-patients with MCC from three large healthcare systems in Tennessee. The intervention will involve: 1) medications with zero copay, 2) bedside delivery then home delivery of medications, and 3) care coordination provided by certified pharmacy technicians/health coaches to assist with medication access, medication reconciliation, and rapid and ongoing primary care follow-up. We will examine the impact of the intervention during 12 months on 1) medication adherence (primary outcome) and 2) rapid primary care follow-up, 30-day readmissions, hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and costs. We will conduct key informant interviews to understand patient experience with the acre received during and after care transitions. By examining effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes including medication adherence, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience, this study will provide valuable results to health systems, payers, and policymakers to assist in future implementation and sustainability of the intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

The objective of this study is to widely implement and evaluate the Care Transitions App in a randomized controlled trial. The app the investigators designed for patients with multiple chronic conditions has four envisioned modules: 1) falls-reduction content, 2) a digital post-discharge transitional care plan (e.g., after hospital care plan, including education, medications, follow-up appointments, warning signs to watch for, nutrition, and other care plan activities), 3) a new module for patients with MCC (diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease) including condition-specific post-discharge care plans with relevant symptom management activities, 4) a new post-discharge report module which summarizes key care transition findings and allows for patients to enter notes and questions for their providers and their own goals for recovery.

Remote Patient Monitoring for Heart Failure

18 - 80
All Sexes
Kansas City, KS
Previous research has investigated the use of remote patient monitoring in various clinical contexts, however there has not been a clinical trial examining use of the VitalCare platform for ambulatory management of heart failure. This trial will serve as a pilot study examining the feasibility of use of the VitalCare platform for ambulatory heart failure management and examine the effect of remote patient monitoring on patient engagement. To the investigators' knowledge, this will be the first study examining the effect of remote patient monitoring with the VitalCare platform on heart failure clinical outcomes, such as hospitalization for heart failure exacerbations and emergency room visits for heart failure.
