Filter by:β 1 adrenergic autoantibody on cardiomyocytes β 1 adrenergic receptor increased the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia in patients with chronic heart failure, accelerated myocardial cell damage, and participated in sudden cardiac death. Our team found for the first time that endogenous orphanin enkephalin promotes arrhythmia after acute myocardial ischemia in rats, and its mechanism includes PKC pathway, regulation of action potential duration and cell membrane surface β 1 adrenoceptor internalization disorder. At the same time, N / OFQ can regulate the level of immune factors, and immune factors participate in the formation of β1-aa. This study will be verified by clinical observation and animal experiments: first, N / OFQ, IL-6 and chronic ischemic heart failure, and β 1-aa; second, relationship between IL-6 gene 572G / C polymorphism and chronic ischemic heart failure correlation of β 1-aa production; last, objective to verify whether N / OFQ is involved in the regulation of IL-6 on chronic ischemic heart failure by knocking out N/ OFQ gene in the animal model of chronic ischemic heart failure. So as to clarify the mechanism of myocardial cell and extracellular injury, and find a new target for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
Today, 50 % of cardiac patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation due difficulties in navigating and accessing rehabilitation activities. HeRTA is a partnership project involving Center for Clinical Research and Prevention (CCRP), Hvidovre Hospital, Rehabilitation Center Albertslund and Copenhagen (municipalities), the Danish Heart Association, and local sports associations. A patient advisory board participate throughout the project to ensure a continued focus on patient interests. The overall aim of HeRTA is to develop and test the feasibility of a new, sustainable model for rehabilitation supporting patients to take part in rehabilitation and promoting life-long activity for all patients with heart disease. To ensure equal access to rehabilitation some activities are open to all patients, while others are tailored specifically to patients with vulnerability. The project unfolds in three phases: Development (1. January 1. 2020 - 14. November 2021): Partners and patients co-create content and procedures; Feasibility (15. November 2021 - 31. July 2023): The feasibility of the model is tested, and promising components are identified; Long-term follow-up and implementation (1. August 2023 - 31. December 2025): Long term effects are investigated and promising components are tested in new settings. During the feasibility phase the investigators will examine whether the intervention activities are feasible, acceptable, and may have positive effects for patients with heart disease. The investigators use qualitative data on implementation and acceptability of intervention among partners and patients. An randomisered controlled trial (RCT) component will assess effects on patient participation rates, health, physical activity level, and life quality. Data is collected from practitioners and patients through focus groups, observations, field notes, questionnaires, and interviews. Results will point to: - innovative ways to organize integrated rehabilitation pathways. - approaches to ensuring rehabilitation targeted at patient needs.
The CAREPATH will conduct Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study by involving ≥ 45 target end users (16 patients with MCI or mild dementia with their informal caregivers and 16 healthcare professionals from various disciplines) and Clinical Investigation (CI) study involving ≥ 200 patients (≥ 100 users to pilot the CAREPATH platform and ≥ 100 patients as reference cases). Both of these pilot studies will be coordinated in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) with diverse health and social care systems, ICT landscape/digital maturity of healthcare provision and dementia national programs, which will allow for strengthening the evidence base on health outcomes and efficiency gains. The CAREPATH outcomes can be summarized as: 1. An Integrated Care Platform that jointly addresses multimorbidity, dementia and diminished intrinsic capacity and optimally manages healthcare interventions for its users (patients, informal caregiver, healthcare providers, etc). 2. Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study involving over 45 users and Clinical Investigation (CI) involving over 200 patients that will be conducted in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) during two years and mobilizing the other necessary actors, such as caregivers and healthcare professionals, for the validation of healthcare interventions. 3. Dementia / Multimorbidity Guidelines that will be conceived for best healthcare delivery. 4. Health Economics Impact Assessment for healthcare cost effectiveness and care provision equalities. The incremental cost-effectiveness and the incremental cost-utility ratio would allow revealing the incremental cost (or the potential savings) per unit of benefit of switching from usual care to CAREPATH-an integrated patient-centred approach- in multimorbid elderly patients with dementia, and therefore, to determinate whether the CAREPATH approach would be considered as a cost-effective alternative.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of the Tauropace to reduce major cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections through 12-months post-procedure following CIED in heart failure participants. The secondary endpoint is to prospectively characterize the performance of Tauropace in participants whose CIED system includes a transvenous RV defibrillation lead.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties and safety of "BR1016A" and "BR1016B" in healthy adults.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties and safety of "BR1016C" and "BR1016D" in healthy adults.
Heart failure (HF) is a significant cause of death and the leading cause of hospitalization in patients over 65 years of age. Congestion is the main source of symptoms and the leading cause of hospitalization for HF. Furthermore, congestive signs identified in asymptomatic patients are associated with the risk of developing symptomatic HF. The literature supports a multi-modality / integrative evaluation of congestion, combining clinical examination, laboratory results and ultrasound evaluation. The main objective of the CHF-COV Preserved study is to identify congestion markers (clinical, biological and ultrasound) quantified during a consultation or day hospitalization for the monitoring of chronic HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction that are associated with the risk of all-cause death, hospitalization for acute HF or IV diuretics injection in a day hospital.
To find out if the time delays between the first medical contacts till the device has an impact on LV functions estimated by transthoracic Echocardiography and if it's correlated to heart failure incidence in non-diabetic patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI
A non-interventional retrospective cohort study conducted to compare the naive sacubitril/valsartan Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) patient population to a matched naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patient population.
This study evaluated the association between sacubitril/valsartan utilization and HF patients' Part A & B expenditures within the reimbursement framework of BPCI and MSSP, and identified BPCI/MSSP participants with the greatest potential for performance improvement (with respect to improving quality and efficiency of care for HF patients) through optimized utilization of sacubitril/valsartan.
