Filter by:To investigate the risk of major bleeding (including gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeding episodes) among new users of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in clinical practice
The objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of autologous mononuclear cells (MNC) collected from bone marrow (BM) and intracoronary delivery for individuals with declining performance of their single right ventricle systemic pumps. This procedure has the potential to foster a new strategy for congenital heart patients. This is an open-label study of autologous MNC derived from bone marrow with a 2-year follow-up to document 1) related serious adverse events and 2) monitor changes in cardiac structure and function.
The study is a voluntary study, initiated by B. Braun to collect clinical data for Optilene® suture concerning its key indication.
The investigators would like to evaluate how well intensive care trainees without previous experience in transesophageal echocardiography are able to perform a transesophageal echocardiography study in the clinical setting after completing a simulator based training compared to conventional training.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily oral supplements of vitamin B complex along with folic acid or supplements of iron plus folic acid given to women during peri-conception can reduce the risk of congenital heart disease when compared with folic acid alone.
Sedation Techniques for children undergoing transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the ingestion of a cocoa flavanol-containing drink compared to a flavanol-free drink, improves coronary vasomotion and platelet function in patients with overt coronary artery disease acutely (after 2 hours)
Accessing the arteries of the heart through the blood vessels of the wrist is becoming increasingly popular. By obtaining access via the artery in the arm as opposed to the groin, there is less risk of complications and improved patient satisfaction. However, using the wrist can cause blockage of the artery after the procedure. If there is too little blood flow from a second artery that supplies the hand, this could result in significant injury. Therefore, it is important to test these blood vessels in the wrist prior to having this procedure. The best way to evaluate these arteries involves the use of ultrasounds but this takes a long time and is expensive. Therefore, the artery is usually evaluated with a clinical test known as the modified Allen's test, which relies on the doctor watching the flushing of the hand during compression of the artery. Currently smart phones with cameras are able to assess blood flow by passing light through the skin and watching differences in brightness. This may be a better way to assess the arteries in the hand as it is less subjective than simply watching the flushing of the hand. This study aims to assess the ability of an iPhone application in determining whether there is sufficient blood flow through the arteries of the wrist and comparing it to the clinical test commonly used.
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the impact of exercise in a cardiac rehabilitation program on functional capacity, clinical markers, quality of life and biomarkers in patients with chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus-Eluting 2.25mm Stent in real world practice in Japanese hospitals.
