This is a 2x2 study examining the impacts of a novel exercise regimen and daily text message reminders in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation will be randomized to either moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) or a novel exercise regimen consisting of three periods of high intensity exercise, called BURST exercise. Additionally, half of the patients in each exercise group will be randomized to receive daily text message reminders to improve adherence to the prescribed exercise regimen.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, safety, and image quality of low-radiation, dynamic perfusion CT of the heart in patients with suspected ischemic chest pain and a moderate or severe stenosis seen on coronary CTA. Secondary aims include the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion imaging compared to either SPECT or invasive angiography.
The recurrence of major cardiac events after infarction is very high, in some populations up to 20% in the first year. Optimal secondary prevention as organized in cardiac rehabilitation centers is effective in reducing both morbidity and mortality. However, many studies have shown that the participation and adherence rate in CR-programs is low in most European countries. Therefore, novel ways of delivering secondary prevention using information technology and self-monitoring are being explored. Hence, this study will investigate the effectiveness of a mobile, patient tailored, app based multidisciplinary telerehabilitation program (HeartHab app) in improving exercise capacity, lifestyle and risk factors in patients with coronary artery disease in a post-rehabilitation setting.
The present study aimed to investigated the effect of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) on vascular hemodynamics and atherosclerosis, and the underlying shear stress related mechanisms
Home-based CR (HBCR) was reported to improve the clinical outcomes of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. There is no data published to investigate whether HBCR is also effective for Chinese CAD patients who have been revascularized. This trial was designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of CR program at home for Chinese patients who underwent PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure. This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled and observational study.
Primary Objective: To document the tolerability of patients receiving study medication at 12-week of therapy in terms of the scoring system assessed by the investigator. Secondary Objectives: - To document drug safety at 12-week of treatment in terms of number of Adverse Drug Reaction or Serious Adverse Drug Reaction reported. - To describe the population treated as per the HOPE study indication in current clinical practice (demographics, cardiovascular risk-factors at treatment initiation, concomitant treatments patterns).
This is a single centre observational study on the impact of change in patient position and hence gravity, on physiological measurements in coronary arteries. When patients present with heart attacks involving completely occluded heart arteries, there are signs anecdotally and in literature that arteries sitting higher up with the patient lying flat, receive less blood supply than arteries sitting lower down. The investigators believe this effect is due to the pull of gravity on the flow of blood through the heart arteries. If this is indeed the case, changing position from lying supine (patient on their back) to lying prone (patient on their front) could reverse these anatomical positions and change measurements obtained during a coronary angiogram. These measurements include pressure and flow.
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main surgical procedures performed in the area of cardiology. Individuals undergoing CABG present sarcopenia, decreased muscle strength of the lower limbs, decreased respiratory muscle strength and dyspnea due to immobility in the bed and the inherent conditions of the disease itself. Cardiorespiratory rehabilitation techniques are rarely used with measurement in hospitals and can greatly favor an early and effective reestablishment to this population in several parameters. Objective: To evaluate the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES), ventilatory muscle training (TREMVEN), early aerobic training (AERO) and isometric handgrip training (ISO) on the functional capacity, endothelial function and cardiac parameters of individuals undergoing CABG. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, volunteers will be allocated into four groups: EEF, TREMVEN, AERO or ISO in the preoperative period of CABG. After 48 hours (postoperative midway) of the surgery, the protocol will begin until after hospital discharge. The endpoints evaluated will be: functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength, systolic and diastolic function, arterial endothelial function, inflammatory profile and plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Scientific contributions: Phase 1 cardiorespiratory rehabilitation with alternative interventions may provide an increase in functional capacity, strengthening of respiratory muscles, improvement in cardiac and endothelial functions, as well as increased systemic VEGF levels (myocardial revascularization) and improvement of the inflammatory profile, effectively forwarding the individuals to the rehabilitation phase 2.
Coronary heart disease has a high incidence and high death rate. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an important method for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, PCI may cause myocardial cell injury and myocardial infarction 4 Type(MI4a, Type 4 a myocardial infarction related to PCI). Dexmedetomidine(Dex) is the only anesthetic which has sedative and analgesic effects. Dex currently has been widely used in perioperative management of various surgical.This study intends to verify the effect of heart protection of Dex in perioperative.
