Filter by:To handle daily life challenges, one needs to be psychologically resilient. It plays a crucial role in disease development, prognosis, as well as social, occupational, and community participation. Cardiovascular diseases cause physical and psychological stress, which can be linked to individual resilience and the development of such diseases. Stress can trigger TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy and acute coronary events. Individuals who have experienced TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or an acute coronary event often feel stressed due to emotional or physical triggers. These triggers may include job loss or illness. In medical rehabilitation, therapists consider the individual circumstances of their patients when planning therapy. It may be important to add a special focus on psychological care, including building resilience, which could greatly benefit these individuals. Therefore, the study aims to investigate whether resilience training, as part of an inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, affects the individual resilience of rehabilitants with TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or those who have experienced an acute coronary event.
The aim of this multicenter prospective observational pilot study is to describe the evolution of myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation (LT). Through multimodal analysis of myocardial function and architecture, and analysis of specific markers of inflammation, we aim to explore the following hypotheses: 1) systemic inflammation promotes myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients and could be an early marker of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy; 2) LT allows resolution of myocardial fibrosis by preventing the bacterial translocation that favors the development of deleterious systemic inflammation.
Patients undergoing dual treatment with Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for various cancers, e.g. melanoma, are at increased risk of developing myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Currently, only limited data on serial myocardial tissue changes during treatment and whether they predict outcomes are available. Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the reference standard for non-invasive myocardial volumes/function analysis and uniquely characterizes myocardial tissue. Therefore, it may help detect myocardial tissue changes during treatment and help early treatment and prevent adverse cardiac outcomes.
BASiC-CIC Trial is a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate whether repurposing colchicine or a combination of beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and statins will be effective as a prophylactic treatment for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AI-ECG algorithm for HCM in detecting HCM and in differentiating it from athlete's heart using not only the standard 12-lead ECG, but also ECGs obtained with the Apple Watch and Alivecor KardiaMobile devices.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common clinical genetic-related disease, with a global incidence of 0.2%-0.5%, but only a few cases (10-20%) have been clinically diagnosed. About 70% of them are hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), these HOCM patients have significant clinical symptoms, including progressively increasing fatigue, angina, exertional dyspnea, and syncope. Conservative medications are used to treat the vast majority of patients. Invasive therapy, which includes surgical myectomy, percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA), percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) and percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is introduced to patients with refractory symptoms or drug resistance. However, surgical operations are complicated and high risk procedures with high mortality. Interventional approaches are very difficult to perform and therefore the application is limited. Previous researches have shown that interventricular septal radiofrequency ablation could effectively reduce the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOTG), thereby treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This device is based on the same radiofrequency ablation energy principle, however, the catheter is introduced into the right ventricle and performs ablation treatment on the hypertrophic interventricular septum, which is potentially a lower risk route of access for septal ablation than currently attempted interventional approaches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intramyocardial septal ablation catheters in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Background: Some people have a condition in which the wall (septum) that separates the two main pumping chambers of the heart is too thick. This thick septum causes a condition called "left ventricular outflow tract obstruction" (LVOTO), which reduces blood flow out of the heart. LVOTO can cause serious heart disease; symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, heart failure, or death. Researchers want to find better ways to treat LVOTO. Objective: To test a new procedure where excess tissue is sliced away from the septum in people with LVOTO. This procedure is called "septal scoring along midline endocardium" (SESAME). Eligibility: Adults aged 21 years with LVOTO. Design: Participants will have baseline tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart structure and function. They will take a walking test and answer questions about how their heart condition affects their life. Participants will stay in the hospital 2 to 6 days for the SESAME procedure. They will be completely or partially asleep for the procedure. A tube will be inserted into the mouth and down the throat to take pictures of the heart. Pictures may also be taken with a tube inserted inside the heart. Next, tubes will be inserted into the groin and guided through the blood vessels up to the heart. Guidewires will be inserted into the heart. Doctors will watch the path the wires take with x-rays and ultrasound. When the wire is in the correct place, it will be electrified to slice excess tissue away from the septum. Participants will have 3 follow-up visits within 1 year.
This research study is testing whether an experimental drug, called SRD-001, is safe and helps the weakened heart of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) regain its ability to effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. SRD-001 is a form of gene therapy. The goal of SRD-001 gene therapy is to provide the heart muscle cells with extra copies of the SERCA2a gene so that they can produce more SERCA2a protein to help the heart muscle cells squeeze/contract better. Researchers will compare SRD-001 treated participants with no-treatment participants; all participants will continue to take their current heart medications. All participants will be followed very closely for 2 years and undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of their heart at baseline, year 1 and year 2 along with assessment of upper limb function and lung function. After the 2 years of close follow-up, all participants will roll over into long-term follow-up where they will be called biannually for information on their current medical status.
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm objective performance criteria trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the Percutaneous Endocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation (PESA) procedure in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). The primary objectives include investigating: 1. the treatment efficacy and safety of PESA treatment in oHCM patients with either left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) or midventricular obstruction; 2. the impact of PESA treatment on the functional capacity, quality of life and long-term prognosis of oHCM patients with either LVOTO or midventricular obstruction.
This study is a phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of HS-10511 when administered as single oral dose and multiple oral doses in healthy adult subjects.
