The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), directly associated with the aging of the population, is a concern for public health in Portugal. Given the high prevalence of risk factors and the increasing number of cases of CD throughout Alentejo, where there is no cardiac rehabilitation (CR) coverage, there is an urgent need for the implementation of a CR program. CR has evolved over the past decades to multidisciplinary approaches focused on education, individualized training, modification of risk factors, and overall well-being of cardiac patients. Studies suggest that high intensity interval training (HIIT) allows greater patient benefits compared to moderate continuous training (MCT), reversal of DC and increased aerobic capacity in CR patients. This study intends to compare HIIT and MCT interventions investigating direct and indirect associations between informally performed physical activity (AF), sedentary behavior, cardiovascular fitness and quality of life (QoL) among patients enrolled in RC programs in phase III.
A randomized, controlled trial to determine whether the use of ultrasound guidance for vascular access during coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will reduce the rates of major vascular complications.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the QuikClot® Radial® pad on hemostasis after TRA, compared to the standard of care TR Band®, with the goal to hopefully develop a safe and efficacious technique to achieve more rapid patent hemostasis after TRA, and improve patient care by optimizing radial hemostasis management.
This prospective randomized study evaluates the nephroprotective effects of exogenous nitric oxide delivered to the extracorporeal circulation circuit during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
RAPID-VT Pilot is a single centre prospective cohort pilot study to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) guided by a novel real-time software to localize the origin of VT during the ablation procedure.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of peripheral and respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions, exercise capacity and quality of life in coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome. Prospectively, randomly, double-blind, and controlled study. Stable coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome will be included to the study from the Istanbul University Cardiology Institute clinic. Patients will be randomized into 3 groups; Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): 3 days per week for 6 weeks duration. Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Inspirator Muscle Training (IMT) and peripheral muscle training Group (n: 20): IMT will be applied 7 days per week, twice a day for 15 minutes. The program will continue for 6 weeks duration under weekly control of the investigator. Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks. Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): Exercise will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Parameters will be recorded before and after training. Evaluation parameters:Demographic and anthropometric measurements, respiratory function test,respiratory muscle strength,dyspnea, peripheral muscle strength, 6 minutes walking test, physical activity, quality of life, depression, sleep quality and laboratory evaluation.
Evaluate the prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD) event [acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)] followed by 100 cardiological centers representative of the whole Italian territory
Study aim : To compare a novel strategy of lesion preparation with noncompliant balloons before implantation of BVS. Hypothesis: Predilatation with non-compliant balloons could facilitate optimal deployment of BVS. By achieving good scaffold apposition a need for post-dilatation could be significantly reduced. This is expected to result in better short- and long-term outcomes.
EUROASPIRE is a multicentre European study in coronary patients and individuals at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), describing their management through lifestyle and use of drug therapies and providing an objective assessment of clinical implementation of current scientific knowledge. Four EUROASPIRE surveys have been carried out by the European Society of Cardiology so far: EUROASPIRE I in 1995-1997 in nine countries, EUROASPIRE II in 1999- 2000 in 15 countries, EUROASPIRE III in 2006-2009 in 22 countries and EUROASPIRE IV in 2012-2015 in 26 countries. The results showed a wide gap between the recommendations and clinical practice with many patients not achieving the lifestyle and medical risk factors goals for CVD prevention. The fifth EUROASPIRE survey is planned for 2016-2018 to determine in hospital coronary patients and apparently healthy individuals in primary care at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease whether the European and national guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention have been followed and if the practice of preventive cardiology in EUROASPIRE IV has improved by comparison with those centres which took part in EUROASPIRE I, II, III and IV. This survey will also incorporate an assessment of dysglycaemia and kidney function in all patients. The main outcome measures will be the proportions of coronary and high cardiovascular risk patients achieving the lifestyle, risk factor and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease prevention. The data collection will be based on a review of patient medical records and a patient interview and examination at least 6 months and at most 3 years after recruiting event. All countries which participated in the first three surveys will be invited to take part in EUROASPIRE V. This fifth survey will give a unique picture of preventive action by cardiologists and primary care physicians looking after patients with coronary disease and individuals at high CVD risk.
