ABSTRACT:
Background: The concept of patient-centered care had become an indispensable paradigm in contemporary interventional cardiology, which has underlined the need to develop a unique treatment approach based on the unique clinical, psychological, and social needs of the patients. The traditional methods have tended to pay more attention to the procedural success and the survival rates without the quality-of-life results as well as patient satisfaction. The combination of individual treatment regimens was supposed to maximize clinical and patient outcomes, especially among patients with complicated coronary procedures.
Purpose: The purpose of the research was to determine the efficacy of individualized treatment plans to enhance patient-centered outcomes such as clinical recovery, quality of life and satisfaction in people who have gone through interventional cardiology activities.
Methods: The research was a prospective observational study that was carried out in the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases (AFIC/NIHD) during the period between August 2023 and April 2024. One hundred and thirty patients who had interventional cardiology patients with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) were recruited. A unique treatment plan was developed and prescribed to every patient on the basis of their clinical profile, comorbidities and preferences. The results were contrasted with management based on normal protocols. The validated questionnaires were used to provide data in the form of clinical parameters, the length of hospital stay, complication rates, and patient-reported satisfaction scores. The statistical analysis was done by the SPSS version 26 and p-values less than 0.05 were regarded as significant.
Results: Patients with individualized treatment plans had much better satisfaction rates (mean 8.9 0.8) than the ones on standard management (mean 7.1 1.2; p < 0.01). The quality-of-life indices improved significantly in the personalized group and post-procedural anxiety was reduced by 25 percent and the personalized group recovered its everyday activities at a rate 30 percent faster. The personalized care group (5) had better clinical outcomes, including the reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as compared to the standard group (11%). Moreover, the mean days of hospitalization in the personalized group of management (2.8 ± 0.6 days) was lower than in the controls (3.5 ± 0.9 days).
Conclusion: This paper has shown that personalized approach and patient-centered interventional cardiology treatment plans have a significant impact in improving clinical and psychosocial outcomes. Individualized care strategies integrated in the process did not only enhance patient satisfaction and recovery but also minimized the complication rates and the duration of hospital stay. These results justified the wider use of individual treatments in cardiovascular care in order to give the best results to the patient.
