Filter by:Advanced remote multi-parameter reporting during cardiac rehabilitation (MAPS-III). The primary purpose of this observational study is to collect baseline information of cardiac rehabilitation usage in the US for post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with EF > 35% while wearing the ZOLL AMS device for 30 to 60 days. Secondary data on biometrics, arrhythmias, symptoms, and healthcare utilization will provide additional background information on this population during the early post-MI cardiac rehabilitation period.
The proposed trial is a multiphase, multicenter, non-inferiority, hybrid type 1 effectiveness, randomized controlled trial to test an innovative virtual world-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program, "Destination Cardiac Rehab". The primary objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy and adherence of "Destination Cardiac Rehab" compared to traditional center-based CR.
The investigators aim to conduct a feasibility study to evaluate a model where mobile health (mHealth) technology supports a remote home-based PA and counselling intervention immediately post hospital discharge to increase uptake to cardiac rehabilitation. Our overall objective is to test the feasibility of an evidence-based complex intervention prior to evaluation in a future randomized control trial (RCT)
Aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence and bring awareness ofcardiovascular complications in COVID-19 recovered patients. Study is conducted at single site, which is Srinivasa Heart Centre, Warangal, Telangana state in India for the duration of 4 months. The sample size is calculated 500 patients and the study is cohort, observational study. Patient consent has been taken before enrolment.
Patient reported outcomes are becoming increasingly recognized as an important metric to determine efficacy of interventions following recovery after cardiac surgery. Quality of Recovery 15 survey is a tool that attempts to measure patients' recovery across several different domains (i.e physical, emotional and social). This tool has been validated extensively in the post operative patient population, but these studies contained only small numbers of cardiac surgery patients. This population faces unique challenges to recovery such as a longer duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital LOS, delirium, significant pain in the first 24-48 hours and post operative arrhythmias. This study aims to validate the QoR 15 in this population exclusively to determine if it is feasible, valid, reliable and responsive in this unique population.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of total intravenous general anesthesia with target controlled infusion and sevoflurane based balanced general anesthesia on hemodynamic parameters and cardiac enzyme levels in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.
Following a heart attack or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure (to 'open up' narrowed blood vessels in the heart), patients are encouraged to join a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme, which provides health and lifestyle advice to assist recovery and reduce risk of future cardiac events. Whilst NICE recommends that CR should "offer people an individual consultation to discuss diet", access to registered dietitians is limited. Instead, CR patients typically receive general healthy eating guidance. Since approximately 50% of patients decline CR, online tools may improve participation. The University of Reading have developed a web-based application (eNutriCardio) that uses a diet questionnaire to assess the quality ('healthiness') of a user's diet. It provides the user with unique, personalised recommendations of foods to increase/reduce to improve diet quality, which aligns with UK public health dietary advice, and incorporates behaviour change techniques. This pilot study will investigate whether supplementing the usual NHS CR offering with personalised nutrition advice from eNutriCardio (intervention) has a different impact on diet quality and cardiac risk factors (e.g. weight and blood cholesterol) than the CR offering alone (control) after 12 weeks. 82 post-heart attack or PCI patients will provide a dried blood spot sample and record their typical diet using eNutriCardio before being randomly allocated to the control or intervention group. Both groups will be invited to participate in an NHS CR programme, but only intervention participants will receive nutrition advice from eNutriCardio. After 12 weeks, both groups will repeat the diet questionnaire and blood spot sample at home. A follow-up questionnaire will be completed after a further 8 weeks. Participants may also join an optional focus group to discuss their experiences of CR and eNutriCardio. This study is funded by the Health Innovation Partnership, a collaboration between the University of Reading and RBFT.
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.
Cardiac surgical interventions are increasingly offered to vulnerable patients or patients living with frailty. Unfortunately, frailty has been shown to be an independent predictor of poorer outcome and increased health care resources in terms of readmission to hospital or visit to the ER after discharge. We hypothesize that the use of a comprehensive Telehealth home-monitoring program could reduce emergency room visits and re-hospitalization after heart surgery. Frailty in all patients will be determined using the Edmonton frailty scale (EFS) as is part of the current standard of care for all patients at the NBHC since 2018. We plan to implement the Telehealth intervention on all 120 consecutively enrolled patients identified as vulnerable and/or frail and discharged from hospital within 10 days of their surgery. The primary outcome of interest will be rates of ER visit and readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge compared to propensity score matched historical control patients. A power calculation suggests that 120 patients per group are necessary explaining why the intervention group will be 120 patients. We chose to compare our intervention to a matched group of 240 individuals from historical data which already captures follows patients 30 days after surgery but is limited in its Telehealth intervention. Duration of the study is 12 months.
The CMR/CT WG of the Italian pediatric cardiology society set up a multi-center observational clinical database of repaired-TOF evaluated. This registry will enroll prospectively patients evaluated by CMR for clinical indication in most of the CHD Italian centers. Data collection will include surgical history, clinical data, imaging data, and also adverse cardiac events for a period of 6 years.
