Filter by:The proposed study aims to compare (a) volume contrast administered for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging, (b) length of clear OCT images, and (c) electrocardiographic changes immediately after contrast injection between iso-osmolar and low-osmolar contrast agents. The proposed study is a prospective, single-centered, randomized controlled, study that will compare an iso-osmolar vs. a low-osmolar contrast agent in patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary OCT imaging. Each patient will be randomized to OCT acquisition.
The DIAST-CMD registry (Prognostic Impact of Cardiac Diastolic Function and Coronary Microvascular Function) is prospective registry which enrolled patients who underwent echocardiography, cnically-indicated invasive coronary angiography and comprehensive physiologic assessments including fractional flow reserve (FFR), CFR, and IMR measurements for at least 1 vessel from Samsung Medical Center. Patients with hemodynamic instability, severe LV dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction<40%), a culprit vessel of acute coronary syndrome, severe valvular stenosis or regurgitation were excluded.
PROPHET-FFR is a single center ambispective registry aiming to explore the impact of post-revascularization functional assessment on later outcomes.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness comparisons between warfarin, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban in routine clinical practice among Japanese non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD).
Coronary heart disease (CHD), the major group of cardiovascular disorders, is the leading cause of cardiac-associated mortality, causing >9 million death in 2016. American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) recognized that lifestyle modification including physical activity is the class one-level recommendation for secondary prevention and risk reduction therapy for patients with CHD. The assessment of physical activity and confidence in performing exercise for patients with CHD will help healthcare professionals to develop and implement the appropriate intervention to enhance patients' confidence in performing exercise and physical activity to promote and maintain their health. With the increasing morbidity and mortality from CHD, especially in low and middle-income countries, secondary prevention including exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) plays an important role to improve the prognosis of CHD patients. High prevalence of physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary practices, poor control of blood glucose, blood pressure (BP), blood lipid, and body weight (BW) was found among CHD patients in the world as well as in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is important to design and implement an appropriate intervention to improve the physical activity level, exercise self-efficacy, and cardiovascular risk factors in CHD patients in Sri Lanka. This study aims to develop and examine a culturally specific motivated, action-based intervention for improving physical activity level, exercise self-efficacy, and cardiovascular risk factors of CHD patients in Sri Lanka. The participants will be patients who admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) and medical wards of the Teaching Hospital Batticaloa, Sri Lanka with CHD for the first time confirmed by electrocardiogram with aged 18 years or above, able to reads and speak Tamil, able to attend clinic follow-up, obtain a medical clearance from a cardiologist to perform the exercise and, able to understand and give informed consent. The medical records of the CHD patients will be reviewed to screen for their eligibility. In addition, the cardiologist of the participants will be consulted for their suitability to perform the exercise of the intervention. The purpose of the study, the data collection procedures, the potential risk and benefits, the maintenance of confidentiality, and the voluntary basis of participation will be clearly explained to the participants, and informed written consent will be obtained before data collection. Ethical approval was obtained from The Joint Chinese University of Hong Kong - New Territories East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committee and Ethics Review Committee, Faculty of Health Care-sciences, Eastern University, Sri Lanka. The Statistical Package for Social Science version 22.0 software (SPSS 22.0) will be used to analyze the data and the p-value less than 0.5 will be considered as significant. This study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of a motivated, action-based intervention on the physical activity level, cardiovascular risk factors, and exercise self-efficacy of CHD patients in Sri Lanka. Findings from this study could be useful to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in CHD patients in a low-resource setting. Furthermore, this study will provide information on which level this intervention could be applied and possible constraints that hinder the outcomes of the results.
As a multi-center, retrospective observation study in southern China, this study included the main study population of patients who underwent coronary angiography at 5 hospitals from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Yangjiang, Maoming and Longyan from January 2000 to Decemeber 2020. The hospitalization information was collected in the form of direct derivation of the case, and cardiac and renal adverse events were collected through outpatient system. Data on all-cause death were obtained from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security and matched to the electronic Clinical Management System of the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital records.
This study aims to examine the impact of providing a digital education material to participants of home based cardiac rehabilitation in improving clinical and behavioural outcomes
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Synergy XD stent and Synergy Megatron™ Stent in the "real world" daily practice as compared with the other drug-eluting stents.
This study analyzes the impact of intraoperative Remimazolam infusion for postoperative sedation on the left ventricular global longitude strain (LV-GLS) patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Improvement of patients' care and outcome is largely based on development and validation of drugs and technologies, especially in rapidly evolving fields as Interventional Cardiology. In fact, even though the optimal efficiency of a cathlab can be influenced by Interventional Cardiologist's mental workload, stress' accumulation and performance, little if any attention is paid to the monitoring and optimization of his/her mental status. Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based neural-interfaces are able to estimate workload, fatigue and the degree of sleepiness through spectral analysis techniques. In particular, the amplitude of alpha waves is a widely validated indicator of mental engagement's level. Developing a low cost and highly feasible device to monitor and analyze operator's mental engagement level and performance could be extremely appealing, especially considering both the lack of data in literature for interventional disciplines and the recent technology developments.
