Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if reducing the number of hours during which one eats each day will help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and improve other markers of metabolic and cardiovascular health (i.e. blood sugar levels and blood pressure). The study also aims to assess changes in exercise capacity and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels in response to Time Restricted Eating (TRE) and Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) versus ICR alone. TMAO is a metabolite, or a substance, produced during digestion and metabolism. Preliminary data illustrates a correlation between high levels of TMAO and higher risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. We will also be looking at participants' long-term cardiovascular health status after they complete the ICR program.
Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disease, characterised by low muscle strength and muscle mass, and associated with higher medical care costs, shorter life expectancy and physical dependence. Sarcopenia affects around 1 in 10 older adults in the general population. However, in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), this number is almost 3 in 10. Patients who have CHD are offered cardiac rehabilitation (CR); a multicomponent programme designed to improve long-term health outcomes. Nutritional education is an important part of CR and typically focuses around modifying fat and carbohydrate intake to lower cholesterol levels and achieve a healthy weight. Currently there is little focus on increasing protein intake, which might reduce the risk of sarcopenia. Eligible patients with CHD and low protein intake will receive the standard nutritional education delivered during CR. Next, participants will be randomised to one of two groups: protein education (intervention), or standard information (control). Whilst COVID-19 restrictions are in place, education will be delivered remotely via pre-recorded video. Outcome measures, including protein intake, sit to stand performance, sarcopenia risk score (modified SARC-F), Physical Activity Vital Signs (PAVS) and waist circumference, will be assessed at baseline, at the end of the standard CR programme and after a follow-up period of the same duration as the CR programme.
The purpose of the SIROOP Registry is to retrospectively and prospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural characteristics of patients who have undergone PCI and are treated with either currently available sirolimus or paclitaxel coated DCBs (see Table 1), irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. Outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups. The impact of current DCBs in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
Objective to evaluate the effect of Shexiang Baoxin Pill on myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (non obstructive coronary heart disease) through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical multicenter study.At the same time, the effects of exercise tolerance and quality of life were also observed.
The need to restore water losses resulting from physical activity has become established and diffused into international consensus for healthy individuals or high-performance athletes. However, the influence of fluid replacement when administered during and after exercise on cardiac autonomic modulation with autonomic alterations known as the coronary arteries remain poorly understood. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare whether different hydration strategies are able to promote acceleration of the recovery of autonomic modulation in individuals with coronary artery disease undergoing aerobic exercise. This study is a cross-over clinical trial, which will be developed based on an experimental procedure performed in four stages. A total of 31 individuals will be recruited in this study and will perform four standardized cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) sessions. The participants will perform CR with mineral water intake in phase three and four. In phase three, the consumption will be done a quantity of water predetermined by the evaluator, based on the loss of body mass measured in the second session. In phase four, hydration will be carried out in an uncontrolled manner, according to the desire to drink water during the protocol.
The multicenter Cardiology Monitoring Platform registry (mCMP-registry) is a prospective observational registry including multi-omics (diagnostic) measurements performed as part of routine clinical care, bio-banking (optional), and yearly questionnaires (optional). It's objective is to optimize (early) diagnosis and risk-stratification of (early) cardiovascular diseases, specifically cardiomyopathy phenotypes, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease, and to create a better understanding of underlying pathophysiological processes.
The aim of the IMPACTavi prospective cohort study is to test feasibility and safety of clinically indicated intravascular coronary imaging with NIRS-IVUS in addition to routine coronary angiography in patients scheduled for TAVI, to improve assessment of CAD severity in this challenging group of patients.
Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with symptomatic/critical carotid artery stenosis at risk of stroke coexisting with unstable or multivessel severe coronary artery disease and/or severe valvular heart disease undergoing endovascular treatment of carotid atherosclerosis using a mesh stent in combination with cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or valve surgery). A study involving clinical data evaluation of truly simultaneous treatment outcomes in patients deemed to require carotid revascularization at the time of surgical cardiac intervention (single-stage, simultaneous treatment). An open-label study, without randomization - a single arm study. Academic Registry - scientific activity of the Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University and John Paul II Hospital.
Many patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) have multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD), which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, there have been few studies regarding revascularization strategy in patients with NSTEMI and MVD. Therefore, we planned to perform prospective, open-label, randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immediate complete revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] for both infarct-related artery [IRA] and non-IRA during index PCI) compared to staged PCI strategy of non-IRA (PCI for IRA followed by non-IRA PCI after several days). PCI procedure at non-IRA with diameter stenosis between 50 and 69% should be conducted with the aid of fractional flow reserve (FFR), and non-IRA with diameter stenosis ≥ 70% will be revascularized without FFR.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the number one killer of Australians with a high risk for a recurrent event(s) and hospital readmission. Many of these readmissions can be prevented with better management to control the problem of CAD. A disease management program, led by nurses who interact with other health professionals/providers, can help with education and counselling, taking medications correctly and making healthy lifestyle changes for higher risk patients. Newer models of disease management programs make use of mobile devices (such as an "app") and telehealth (by phone or video call) to monitor and manage health which could facilitate CAD management. Therefore, the aim of this study is to test this type of disease management program (DMP) compared to standard care for reducing hospital readmissions or death in people with CAD who are at high risk of being readmitted. The Investigators envisage that a novel Risk-Guided DMP will be favorable to patients and associated with high-level participation. The Investigators hypothesize that high-risk patients randomized to Risk-Guided CAD will have reduced hospital readmissions or death compared with those randomized to usual care.
