In my quest to build up a better page of Research & Resource links for nurses and allied health professionals, I’d like to mention a recently added and relatively new online resource called TheHeart.org
TheHeart.org has a tagline of “10 Years of Online Cardiology”, and appears to be a rather extensive resource platform for all things cardiac related.
The Heart is owned & produced by Medscape (one of my favourite online resources), but has a distinct focus on recent articles, trends and research in the world of cardiology. In particular, there is a focus on providing information on caring for people with disorders of the heart & circulation, and on disease prevention.
While most of the information appears to have originated in the Americas, I will say that the information and research is certainly applicable to medical & nursing professions worldwide, and many of the articles are great for any cardiac related study or research that you may be involved in.
Registration is free for healthcare professionals, & main topics generally revolve around specific cardiology themes such as ACS, Arrhythmias, Heart Failure, Hypertension, Thrombosis etc.
A few sample articles (may have to register before you can view):
- Prehospital triage “immediately successful” in boosting rates of thrombolytic therapy for stroke
- Dabigatran
- No link seen between heart failure and coffee intake
- Heartwire news
Anyway, I love finding new resource sites for nurses in particular – please let me know if there are any others we can add to the Research & Resource pages.
