Filter by:In this observational study investigators examine the presence of circulatory oscillations in blood pressure, heart rate, and doppler laser flow before and after planned cardiac surgery.
Coronary revascularization improves survival for patients with coronary artery disease. However,many patients are left with poor physical and mental health. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation involves moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICE). Alternatives to traditional cardiac rehabilitation programming may however provide superior understudied benefits to patients with poor physical and mental health. Nordic walking (NW) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are two examples of alternative programs for cardiac rehabilitation, which may provide superior physical and mental health benefits when compared to traditional MICE. The main purpose of this project is, therefore, to determine the short and long term physical and mental health benefits of alternative cardiac rehabilitation modalities, including NW and HIIT on exercise capacity, quality of life and depression after a 12-week program.
Coronary artery disease is a common medical disease in many populations. The pathogenesis of this disease is very complex. Surgery is one of the treatment choices. Assessing the risk factors will improve the surgical outcome. In this study some biochemical parameters were evaluated to find out the relationship between these parameters (electrolytes and albumin vs)
This is a single center, prospective study: The 'CardioGard Cannula' Gaseous emboli capture results - shows an improvement from the control group.
The aims of the present project are to study possible differences in inflammatory gene expression and protein secretion in various compartments of adipose tissue being exposed during open cardiac surgery in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is proposed as a possible in vivo angiogenic stimulator for improving microvascular myocardial perfusion and anginal symptoms as assessed by myocardial perfusion imaging and angina questionnaire in patients with chronic stable ischemic heart disease, when no other means to relief symptoms and/or ischemia are available.
This is a six (6) month, randomized, un-blinded, study to assess the safety and performance of the Palmaz Mach-5 Grooved Coronary Stent System vs. the Palmaz Bare Metal Coronary Stent System.
The objective of this study is to carefully monitor all patients undergoing Computed Tomographic Perfusion (CTP) at Lancaster General Hospital for safety, and determine the efficiency of the CTP procedure in a community setting.
The study will compare clinical outcomes between complete revascularization during hospitalization for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and intervention after 30 days and intervention based on outpatient non-invasive ischemia testing in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) presenting with first ever ST elevation myocardial infarction.
The sample of this randomized controlled trial was obtained in the Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Unit, of the Hospital Centre of Porto, Santo Antonio General Hospital. The target population was individuals who have completed the training phase of cardiovascular rehabilitation program, volunteers and referenced by the responsible for the service. This study has as main objective to analyze the influence of a specific exercise program, maintenance phase of cardiovascular rehabilitation , in home care context, for a period of 6 months, using a virtual format (computer and Kinect) or a conventional format (paper manual) in subjects with coronary artery disease. It was intended to analyze the immediate effect of exercise program on body composition and food consumption patterns, functional muscle strength of lower limb, level of physical activity: total volume of activity as well as the profile of this intensity, kyphotic index, balance, cognitive and executive function, as well as in the quality of life. The aim is also to examine the effects, approximately 3 months after the end of the exercise program, in the lipid profile, the level of physical activity: total volume of activity as well as the profile of this intensity and cardiovascular fitness: maximum double product ; metabolic equivalents; and proof and recovery time. The individuals were distributed at random, every 3 individuals, using the capabilities of Microsoft Excel 2010 RANDBETWEEN command, by three groups: the experimental group 1- a cardiovascular rehabilitation program, in home care context, using a computer and Kinect, virtual format, the experimental group 2- in cardiovascular rehabilitation program, in home care context, using a paper-based manual, conventional format, and control group-only subject to education for cardiovascular risk factors. The program defined 3 training sessions per week. The rehabilitation program was oriented by the guidelines for exercise prescription. Participants perform the a program of specific exercises independently and individually, with remote supervision, using communication (phone, email, etc.) and a routine scheduled individual meetings.
