Filter by:Primary Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing in improving symptoms of constipation, anxiety, sleep quality, and overall quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and constipation. Study Phase: As this research involves a non-pharmacological intervention, it is categorized as Not Applicable (N/A). Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment. Patients are divided into two groups; one receives standard care, while the other receives standard care supplemented by the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing. Number of Arms: Two arms are involved in the study. One arm serves as the control group receiving standard care, and the other as the experimental group receiving standard care plus the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing. Masking: This study employed a double-blind (assessors and statisticians), randomized, parallel-controlled trial design to enhance the credibility of the results and to minimize bias. Allocation: Using simple random sampling, small folded papers marked with the numbers "1" and "2" were placed in an opaque box. Each patient drew a paper in sequence of enrollment; those drawing a "1" were assigned to the control group, and those drawing a "2" to the experimental group, with each group comprising 35 participants. Enrollment: A total of 70 patients were initially recruited, with 67 completing the study. The control group had one participant drop out due to early hospital discharge related to the pandemic, affecting data collection completeness. In the experimental group, one participant was excluded due to undergoing colonoscopy and taking related laxative medications during the treatment, and another due to early hospital discharge caused by the pandemic. Thus, data from three participants were excluded from the final analysis due to insufficient treatment duration (less than two-thirds of the planned intervention), resulting in 34 participants in the control group and 33 in the experimental group being analyzed, equating to a dropout rate of approximately 4.3%, which is within acceptable statistical limits. Study Classification: This study focuses on efficacy assessment. It particularly evaluates the effectiveness of the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing in alleviating symptoms of constipation, anxiety, improving sleep quality, and enhancing the quality of life among elderly patients with coronary heart disease and constipation.
This study evaluated and compared the prognostic value of different Baseline data and clinical variables to develop a risk ractor ediction model in patients with CHD.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of aerobic interval training on levels of tiredness and functional performance in post-angioplasty patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does aerobic interval training reduce fatigue and improve functional performance compared to medication alone in post-angioplasty patients? Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the control group (medication) or the experimental group (medication + aerobic interval training) Perform aerobic interval training for 30 minutes, three times a week, for six weeks (experimental group only) Complete pre and post-intervention assessments using the fatigue severity scale, the 6-minute walk test, and the one minute sit to stand test Researchers will compare the two groups to see if aerobic interval training leads to significant improvements in fatigue levels and functional performance.
Quantitative flow reserve (QFR), derived from coronary angiography, has shown high accuracy in detecting significant lesions. Ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR), a new development from IVUS, integrates physiological estimation with intravascular imaging. Although both QFR and UFR are effective, there's no conclusive evidence favoring one over the other. The study aims to compare UFR and QFR's diagnostic performance against the conventional FFR standard in detecting significant coronary lesions.
In this analytical prospective study 498 patients over 40 years with any cardiovascular symptoms and without pre-established coronary artery disease ( CAD) were enrolled. Patients underwent CT scans to measure coronary artery calcium score (CACS), and total calcium scores were recorded. Then, conventional coronary angiography was performed for all the participants as the gold standard for diagnosing CAD (defined as at least one stenotic coronary artery with ≥ 50%). Framingham risk score (FRS) was also estimated for all the patients
Patients scheduled for elective coronary angiography due to chronic coronary syndrome are recruited at admission to hospital before the coronary anatomy is known. Immediately after coronary angiography measures thermo-dilution derived flow indices are obtained in the left left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patients are followed through telephone-calls and medical records at 1 and 2 years after inclusion and at completion of the study. The hypothesis is that elevated index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR),(>25) is associated with all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF). The primary analysis is the relationship between IMR and the composite outcome all-cause death, MI and hospitalization due to CHF.
Patients in the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit (ICCU) often present with cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues accompanied by various non-cardiovascular conditions. However, a widely applicable scoring system to predict patient outcomes in the ICCU is lacking. Therefore, developing and validating scores for predicting ICCU patient outcomes are warranted. The aims of the IndONEsia ICCU (One ICCU) registry include developing an epidemiological registry of ICCU patients and establishing a multicentre research network to analyse patient outcomes.This nationwide multicenter cohort will capture data from patients receiving cardiovascular critical care treatment in 10 Indonesian hospitals with ICCU facilities. Recorded data will encompass demographic characteristics, physical examination findings at hospital and ICCU admission, diagnoses at ICCU admission, therapy, intervention, complications on days 3 and 5 of in-ICCU care, in-hospital outcomes, and 30-day outcomes. The One ICCU is a large, prospective registry describing the care process and advancing clinical knowledge in ICCU patients. It will serve as an investigational platform for predicting the mortality of ICCU patients.
This hospital-based registry study at Istanbul Medipol University Hospital focuses on documenting and analyzing the clinical and demographic characteristics, procedural-related aspects, and both short and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing left main coronary artery percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study aims to identify predictors for adverse clinical outcomes in patients treated for left main coronary artery disease.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a reduced radiation protocol (RRP) in which angiograms are acquired at ultralow radiation doses and then processed using spatiotemporal enhancement software can produce similar quality angiographic images as compared with standard techniques.
In this retrospective study from professor Kojuri clinic registry, total number of 1017 patients with first angiography were included and all data were recorded from registry. Insulin resistance was calculated using laboratory data
