Filter by:The current trend in most cardiac surgeries was to use rocuronium as it provides faster recovery in train-of-four ratio compared to other aminosteroid non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker. However, as most cardiac centres' standard of care does not perform any neuromuscular monitoring nor antagonism of neuromuscular blockade effect, residual neuromuscular blockade could potentially be the key to delayed extubation. As such, Cis-atracurium's organ-independent Hofmann elimination could be in favour.
Artificial Intelligence, trained through model learning, can quickly perform medical image recognition and is widely used in early disease screening and assisted diagnosis. With the continuous optimization of deep learning, the application of AI has helped to discover some previously unknown associations with other systemic diseases. Artificial intelligence based on retinal fundus images can be used to detect anemia, hepatobiliary diseases, and chronic kidney disease, and to predict other systemic biomarkers. The above studies provide a theoretical basis for the application of artificial intelligence technology based on retinal fundus images to the diagnosis and prediction of cardiovascular diseases. At present, there is still a lack of accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use diagnostic and therapeutic tools for predictive modeling of coronary heart disease risk and early screening tools in China and the world. Fundus image is gradually used as a tool for extensive screening of diseases due to its special connection with blood vessels throughout the body, as well as easy access, cheap and efficient. It is of great scientific and social significance to develop and validate a model for identification and prediction of coronary heart disease and its risk factors based on fundus images using AI deep learning algorithms, and to explore the value of AI fundus images in assisting coronary heart disease diagnosis and screening for a wide range of applications.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a widely accepted initial diagnostic test for individuals suspected of having chronic coronary syndromes. However, there is limited evidence supporting its use in the acute setting. So far, no large-scale randomized trial has examined the performance of CCTA as an alternative to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in individuals with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEACS). If CCTA were to replace ICA as a routine procedure for individuals with NSTEACS, it could reduce the risk of complications related to ICA, improve patient comfort, expedite decision-making, and reduce healthcare expenses and interhospital transfers.
This Phase 2a clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing dose strengths of an oral daily medication, DFV890, administered for 12 weeks, or a single s.c. dose of MAS825, to reduce key markers of inflammation related to CVD risk, such as IL-6 and IL-18, in approximately 28 people with known coronary heart disease and TET2 or DNMT3A CHIP (VAF ≥2%).
The main aim of this trial is to determine whether there are fewer cardiovascular events when patients with coronary artery disease take a low dose of colchicine of 0.5 mg daily on top of optimal standard treatment after treatment with PCI, compared with placebo in combination with optimal standard treatment. More specifically, we aim to investigate the benefits of a daily low dose of colchicine in patients with coronary artery disease after treatment with PCI, to confirm that a daily low dose of colchicine helps prevent additional incidents in coronary artery disease, and to identify a subgroup of patients with CAD who are at increased risk for cardiovascular events and could benefit most from colchicine.
Introduction: Most cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can be prevented and controlled by adopting lifestyle changes, such as regular physical exercise and nutrition. Resveratrol and beverage extract promote beneficial health effects due to their nutritional properties. Objective: to analyze the effects of resveratrol supplementation and withdrawal extract on post-exercise recovery in coronary heart disease patients. Methods: men diagnosed with ischemic coronary artery disease will undergo four exercise protocols consisting of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on an ergometric treadmill, with 5 minutes of warm-up, intensity of 30% of the heart rate reserve (HRR), followed by 25 minutes at intensity 60% of FCR and for a final 30 minutes of recovery in the supine position. Before each exercise protocol, all volunteers will consume: 500 mg of placebo (starch), or 500 mg of beetroot, or 500 mg of resveratrol and will also consume resveratrol and drink (500 mg each) 30 minutes before exercise. , the order of each supplementation will be done randomly. Cardiorespiratory parameters and heart rate variability (HRV) will be assessed at different times throughout the experimental procedure. To analyze the moments (rest versus recovery), the Bonferroni post-test will be used for parametric distribution or the Dunn post-test for non-parametric distribution. Statistical significance will be calculated at 5% for all analyses.
The goal of this observational study are 1) to assess the effectiveness of modalities and/or their combination of multimodal non-contact information in predicting coronary artery disease; 2) to prospectively validate the performance of the developed artificial Intelligence models in predicting coronary artery disease.
This study will test a controlled investigation of the efficacy and effectiveness of iATROS digital therapy management for risk factor adjustment in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy represents the main therapy for patients presenting with chronic coronary syndromes and undergoing elective PCI. However, most of these patients are not properly covered in terms of inhibition of platelets aggregation at the time of PCI, and are exposed to an higher risk of microvascular damage which in turns might be responsible of residual symptoms persistence and the findings of residual ischemia at the non-invasive tests. In naïve patients, cangrelor can be administered at the time of PCI potentially protecting coronary microcirculation. The aim of this randomized study is indeed to evaluate the use of Cangrelor as compared with standard practice (with Clopidogrel) in terms of incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction following elective PCI of functionally significant intermediate coronary stenoses. All consecutive patients, fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be enrolled and both FFR and CFR/IMR will be measured before and after PCI. Platelet reactivity will be also evaluated mainly during PCI procedure. At 30 days of follow up, patients will be interrogated about symptoms persistence and will be asked to complete the specific Seattle Angina Questionaty (SAQ7). At 3 months a SPECT could be performed in order to evaluate the presence of residual ischemic area in the myocardial territory downstream to the treated vessel. With this study we will be able to evaluate the potential benefit of using Cangrelor, as compared with standard therapy with Clopidogrel, in terms of protection of coronary microcirculation during elective PCI and reduction of both residual symptoms and ischemia at clinical follow up.
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is indicated in all patients undergoing coronary stent implantation to prevent ischemic recurrencies despite an increased risk of bleeding. Accordingly, clinical practice guidelines advocate tailoring DAPT duration according to the patient's individual ischemic and bleeding risk profile. Data from 11 clinical trials involving patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an everolimus-eluting stent will be pooled and analyzed to develop a machine learning-based algorithm to predict the probability of an ischemic or bleeding event up to 1 year. These predictive risk models aim to support clinical decision-making on DAPT management after PCI.
