Filter by:The purpose of this study is to establish the various ranges of proteins that can be assayed in the plasma and urine from hospitalized patients with all classes of heart failure and/or STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction)/NSTEMI (Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction), as well as history reviews.
Heart failure is a chronic disease whose prevalence, due to the aging of the population, is increasing. In France, the prevalence of this pathology is 2.3% (it reaches 10% in the over 75 years) and affects nearly a million patients. The rehospitalization of patients with heart failure affects 25% of patients within 1-3 months of hospital discharge, and 66% at 1 year while 75% of hospitalizations are preventable. These readmissions result in decreased quality of life and increased mortality; from an economic point of view, hospitalization accounts for 70% of expenses related to the management of heart failure. Avoiding rehospitalization is therefore a major public health issue. The current predictive scores remain perfectible, even though risk factors for readmission have already been the subject of numerous studies. The identification of patients at risk of rehospitalization is still an issue, especially for patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Targeting patients requiring appropriate care remains an issue. The rise of innovative statistical techniques around Big Data in health opens new perspectives for the scientific exploitation of data available in electronic medical records, for example in the field of prediction. This study aims to explore the risk of rehospitalization in heart failure patients by analyzing routine data collected in medical records and by mobilizing artificial intelligence algorithms. A review of the literature confirms the innovative nature of such an approach: the majority of the studies identified implemented a prospective collection of data; only 20% of the studies mobilized the medical file; no French study used the new machine learning algorithms.
The investigators conducted a prospective observational study to describe the different pre-hospital and in-hospital pathways of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and their association with in-hospital mortality.
To assess the efficacy of 30 mg of BAY1753011, with or without furosemide, versus furosemide alone in patients with heart failure and objective evidence of congestion.
The "four-point" questionnaire by Severo and his associates was weighted in 2011 in the Portuguese population and aims to characterize the severity of the symptoms of heart failure by providing a way to minimize the reliability of the NYHA classification. The questionnaire consists of four closed questions, three possible single-choice answers, coded 0, 1 or 2, and has been translated into Greek in accordance with the internationally-based methodology, with forward-backward translation.
We examined the feasibility and reliability of a combined echocardiographic and right heart catheterization (RHC) approach for right ventriculo/arterial (R-V/A) coupling assessment in HF patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (D-CMP).
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up of the new Cor Family ICDs/CRT-Ds (Acticor, Rivacor) and the new Plexa ProMRI S DX right ventricular lead to provide post-market data and supporting evidence for the clinical safety and performance of the devices.
Main Objective of this study is to compare the single intravenous (IV) infusion pharmacokinetics (PK) of BMS-986231 and its metabolites (BMT-284730, BMT-279554, and CAR-000463) following of up to 2 test formulations of BMS-986231 relative to the reference formulation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of patiromer compared with placebo on serum K+ in HF patients.
Cardiac rehabilitation is based on physical activity which, usually, associates combination of a cycle ergometer or treadmill completed by gymnastics. Some studies have been done with complementary physical activities such as tai chi or yoga integrated into the strategy of non-drug therapies. The tai chi study showed a tendency to improve the peak of VO2 in the tai chi group but which was not significant but also a significant improvement on secondary objectives such as quality of life, the increase in the 6-minute walk test and a decrease in the level of natriuretic peptides. A study of the effects of yoga after coronary artery bypass surgery showed at one year an improvement of the ejection fraction, the lipid profile and the state of anxiety of the patients. This study showed that the addition of yoga to conventional cardiac rehabilitation could improve cardiovascular risk factors especially in patients with abnormalities such as low HDL. The physical activities offered in rehabilitation to improve physical performance are currently limited to cycling, treadmill or gymnastics. Many patients do not like cycling or treadmill, which limits their adherence to a cardiac rehabilitation program. Moreover, one of the main problems of rehabilitation is that after the rehabilitation cycle, a minority of patients continue the physical activity. Strategies for implementing home exercises have been tested to increase the level of physical activity after rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation has several components: correction of risk factors, optimization of treatment, physical activity to improve the physical abilities to exertion that are directly correlated to mortality. Our hypothesis is that the implementation of a program of physical activity based on traditional karate would improve the physical abilities to effort and the quality of life of patients, to give a better psychological confidence to patients who, after a cardiovascular event such as acute coronary syndrome, bypass surgery or valvular surgery, have marked anxiety or depression. Rehabilitation, and especially physical activity, is one of the therapeutic means proposed. The interest of this study would be to be able to offer an additional activity for rehabilitation centers, to offer patients an activity in post-rehabilitation. In addition, interaction between patients could increase adherence to rehabilitation.
