Filter by:This is a prospective, multi-center, hospital-based observational study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in patients with stable coronar heart disease.
The objective of the study is to investigate congenital disorders of glycosylation in congenital heart diseases without a clear molecular or genetic basis.
Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of mitochondrial DNA, including mutations and abnormal content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are associated with the initiation and development of cardiovascular disease. This study was undertaken to investigate whether mtDNA copy number in peripheral blood cells could be used as a risk predictor for coronary heart disease.
The aim of this study is to collect non-individual related blood samples for the compelling of a unique database of tissue samples to understand the inflammatory responds after cardiac surgery on an on-going basis. This includes especially protein analyses and genetic testing for certain neurotransmitters in the blood and tissues to understand disease markers related to heart disease. The study is designed as an openly recruiting biobank with the purpose to later serve multiple study purposes. Outcomes refer to protein analyses and genetic testing for neurotransmitters in the blood and tissues.
What is the optimal maintenance dose of remifentanil to ensure apnoea, during breath hold episodes in children having cardiac MR imaging with general anaesthesia?
Although recommended therapy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is primary PCI, it remains unestablished whether patients with a symptom duration of more 12 hours benefit from acute revascularisation. This study aims to investigate whether acute intervention is superior to subacute intervention in these patients.
Phase I-II Clinical Trial-Safety and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in patients with chronic heart ischemia cohort and perspective study.
This study aims to explore the structural and functional characteristics of the pulmonary vasculature in adult Fontan patients. Objectives: - Determine the effect of pulmonary vasodilatation on indexed cardiac output during simulated exercise. - Characterization of structural properties of small pulmonary arteries.
To evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).
The National Institute of Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) collects data and produces analysis to enable hospitals and healthcare improvement bodies to monitor and improve the quality of care and outcomes of cardiovascular patients. The Congenital Heart Disease audit collects data on all cardiac surgery and therapeutic cardiac catheterisations procedures used to treat patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. For acquired heart disease, the audit covers all arrhythmias & cardiomyopathies in patients less than 16 years old only. For congenital heart disease, the audit collects data on both children and adult patients. The audit covers all specialist centers in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The project aims to improve the quality of care for children and adults with congenital heart disease by providing national comparative analysis of procedure specific activity and outcomes of cardiac surgery and therapeutic cardiac catheterisation procedures. The audit also provides quality indicators for the antenatal detection of major congenital heart disease.
