Filter by:The Impulse Dynamics Optimizer Device is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved; commercially available device indicated for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Many candidates of this device have a previously implanted cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED)- internal cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or permanent pacemaker (PM). Patients with heart failure are at high risk for both atrial and ventricular cardiac arrhythmias. The aim of this study is to evaluate patients for Atrial fibrillation (AF) burden episode data obtained from interrogation of their CIED 8 months or greater after Optimizer implant and compare arrhythmia burden 6 months before Optimizer Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) device insertion to 8 months or greater after Optimizer insertion (after 2 month blanking period).
This clinical study will be conducted with funding from European Innovation Council(EIC) after approval of the fund grant and is part of our organization's European Pathfinder Project(Ref: HORIZON-EIC-2022-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01). The clinical study step of this project will be started in a retrospective time prospective manner by gathering the phenotypic(clinical measuring factors) data from patients who underwent ICD implantation therapy. The study will be done as a case-control type in which patients who did not get any shocks in 6 months post-implantation will be allocated to the control group. A customized and highly specific cardiogenomics panel will be designed and ordered to be specially manufactured as a standard kit by Illumina® (San Diego, California, U.S.) following an exhaustive investigation for collecting genetic variants which correlated to cardiovascular development. Mentioned kit bears the standard and validated technology which is part of the genetic tests routine and is being produced by Illumina® incorporate. However, as an option manufacturer is designing custom kits for research purposes by getting the desired variant lists using the same technology. Accordingly, enrolled patients in the study will be prospectively sampled ( Non-Invasive saliva sampling) for getting genetically analysed by Illumina®'s Infinium Assay Microarray platform with fully customized 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphism kits. The result of this sampling will be data and statistically analysed in a genome-wide association study(GWAS) manner by considering the 5x10-8 p.value and will be associated with each phenotypic parameter. Accordingly, the study will assess the genetic risk stratification in ICD patients in a much more detailed fashion. Following this assessment genophenotypic statistical analysed will be done to combine both parameters and generate a formula for scoring the indicator factors based on each odds ratio. Correspondingly, this new scaling formula will be analysed, verified and validated further by a randomized sampling of the population in our study before being stated. Additionally, This study will not only help to improve current genetic polymorphism clinal significant status (pathogenicity and significance of variant) but also can associate new markers with high significance that can be directly used in clinical screening, diagnosis or clinical approaches.
Arrhythmias early in the recovery period after cardio thoracic surgery are common they develop in 11 to 40 percent of patients after coronary-artery bypass grafting. The right chose of sedative agent could decrease the level of arrhythmia incidence.
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
Temporary cardiac pacing with active-fixation leads (TPAFL) using a reusable permanent pacemaker generator has been shown to be safer than lead systems without fixation. However, TPAFL requires the off-label (non-certificated) use of Pacemaker leads and generators. It is designed a fastening system to ensure the safety and efficacy of the procedure: the KronoSafe System®. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the KronoSafe System® for temporary pacing in a series of patients receiving TPAFL.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a significant relation between various arrhythmias during the surgeon's stretching the eye muscles and laryngospasm and emergence agitation in strabismus surgeries
The purpose of this coverage with evidence development (CED) study is to evaluate complications and long-term health outcomes of the single-chamber Aveir Single-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker device (Aveir VR LP).
Patients scheduled for cardiac surgery are fragile. Hemodynamic fluctuation might be associated with adverse outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to keep hemodynamics stable during and after the induction period. Previous studies have shown that topical anesthesia can provide excellent superior supraglottic and subglottic local anesthetic effects and can significantly reduce the dosage of intravenous anesthetics. Therefore, we designed this study to explore whether the combination of topical anesthesia and intravenous anesthetics could decrease the stress response of endotracheal intubation and keep hemodynamics stable during and after the induction period.
Depersonalized multi-centered registry initiated to analyze dynamics of non-infectious diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection in population of Eurasian adult patients.
After one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery there are possible side effects like acute and chronic pain. There is a lot of research surrounding these pains but not specifically after one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery. The investigators want to research factors that may be associated with the absence of chronic pain after hybrid ablation include ketamine, peroperative opioids, loco-regional blocks, neuraxial blocks, wound infiltration, postoperative patient-controlled analgesia. The presence of corticosteroids or NSAIDS, will also be evaluated. Furthermore, non-adaptable factors such as genetics complicate the onset of chronic post-operative pain. Taking existing knowledge in this field into account, incidence risk as well as acute pain duration and intensity and their effects on chronic pain will become the primary focus of this study. The investigators will contact all patients who had a one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery at UZ Brussels. Participants will be sent a questionnaire with a consent form in and a survey asking about their pain 3 months postop and their current pain management therapy.
