Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the initial short and long-term safety and performance of the CardiAQ™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation System using the Transapical Delivery System. The study will enroll patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation who are considered high or extreme risk for mortality and morbidity from conventional open heart surgery.
The REgister of cardiovascular COmplications among people living with HIV (RECOVIH) is a single hospital registry of adults living with HIV, with one or more other cardiovascular risk factor, who undergo cardiac examination at the Cardiac Center of the Saint Antoine Hospital. RECOVIH is an observational and prospective, monocentric (institutional) registry, with anonymized cardiac, biochemical and associated data collection.
To assess the effectiveness of a clinical audit and physician based intervention in improving the management of dyslipidemia at Health centres in the Southeast Health Region of Jamaica
The aim of this feasibility study is to test recruitment of participants into Phase 1 of the study and then the re-recruitment and retention of participants in Phase 2 of the study. The investigators will also be assessing the acceptability of recruitment strategy and data collection to participants. The effect of pre-pregnancy factors (biophysical, genetic, socioeconomic, behavioural and psychological) on obstetric, cardiovascular, socioeconomic, behavioural and psychological outcomes will all be examined.
In this study predictors of fitness to drive a car in cardiologic patients after acute intervention and discharge from hospital to home or rehabilitation are determined in addition to possible automotive monitoring of vital signs via contact less sensors.
The proposed research brings together complementary expertise to systematically elucidate the longitudinal effects of (1) total and regional body fat and (2) the metabolic impairment that accompanies obesity on bone development during growth. The contribution of this research will be significant because it will provide a solid foundation for understanding the influence of fat (total and regional distribution) on overall bone strength, and whether insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, abnormal lipids, and inflammation could be underpinning factors in the fat-bone strength relationship via effects on bone modeling activity. This knowledge will provide critical information needed to maximize potential therapeutic interventions to counter the linked risks of obesity and osteoporosis, both major public health concerns.
This study will test the hypothesis that a late sleep (Ls) and/or late meal (Lm) behavioral pattern, with equal sleep duration, will promote positive energy balance and insulin resistance (IR).
Sleep apnea involves significant increases in disease and death, but its consequences in people over 65 years of age are incompletely recognized. Intraoral mandibular advancement appliances reduce the number of apneas and hypopneas. The investigators hypothesized that oral appliances provided to the elderly may prevent hypertension and other consequences of sleep apnea in large populations, at a favorable cost/benefit relationship for the public health system.
The goal of this project is to establish a biobank of clinical information, DNA, plasma, and aortic tissue samples from patients with cardiovascular disease as well as healthy controls.
The study will collect the clinical and biological data of the patients, the investigators could further analyse and identify the risk factors and optimize clinical treatment method. Besides, population-based healthy people with informed consent are also collected.
