Quantitative Article Search and Summary
Coronary Heart disease (CHD) is third leading cause of death for men and women worldwide. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2021), one person dies from CHD every 36 seconds in the United States. Managing CHD clinically can be difficult because most with CHD has other complex chronic conditions. Taking care of patients with CHD
and multiple other chronic conditions is a challenge for the providers. Care of heart disease costs about $363 billion each year to US economy (CDC, 2021). When people are diagnosed with diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension; their risk of developing CHD is a lot higher than others regardless of gender. I selected a quantitative study, and it is titled as “Gender-specific associations between coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases” by the researchers (Murray, M. K., Bode, K., & Whittaker, P., 2019, p667). It was published in Journal of Geriatric Cardiology year of 2019 and volume16 (9), page 663 – 670.
Literary Search Strategy
Researchers searched and selected population data using descriptive statistics from the German Health Interview Examination Survey (DEGS1), which is German national health survey of 8152 adults ages between 18–79 years (Murray, M. K., Bode, K., & Whittaker, P., 2019, p 666). Authors used a two-step stratified cluster design to reach the sampling. Participants were randomly selected from the survey; authors filtered data search with ages between 40–79 years, adults with history of CHD, with or without a history of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention (Murray, M. K., Bode, K., & Whittaker, P., 2019). In the end of the sampling process; 547 male and female sample size were selected.
