... Together these databases contain information on research related to medicine, nursing, health care delivery, psychiatry, sociology, and psychology. Search strategies were developed for each database using text and MeSH terms in groups focused on each of the listing-level cardiovascular conditions (chronic heart failure, ischemic heart disease, recurrent arrhythmias, symptomatic congenital heart disease, heart transplant, aneurysm of the aorta and major branches, chronic venous insufficiency, and peripheral artery 4

... This time period was chosen to ensure the most relevant studies were captured that examined employment capability of populations with cardiovascular conditions. For those evaluation sets reviewing functional capacity, treatment outcomes, and severity of impairment, the parameters were further limited to results published from 2004 to focus on the most recent medical and science literature.
