Filter by:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most frequent genetic cardiac disease characterized by an asymmetric hypertrophic. In two third of patients, an obstruction to blood ejection is observed within the left ventricle which is named left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). This phenomenon can occur at rest or during exercise and is associated with symptoms such as dyspnea, dizziness or chest pain that can significantly limit day life adaptation. To now, medical or interventional treatments such as betablocacker, calcium blockers or septal alcoholisation or surgery present with a limited efficiency. Recent studies from investigators group revealed new concepts about the role of venous return to the LVOTO. Therefore the investigators hypothesis that BX1514M generating a venous vascular constriction, could improve symptoms of HCM patients by reducing LVOTO.
The objective of this study is to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography in patients with cardiomyopathy (HCM) can detect resting hypo-perfusion due to fibrosis or stress induced perfusion defects due to associated abnormalities in intramyocardial arteries and the microcirculation. A secondary aim will be to determine whether abnormalities in perfusion are associated with either severity of symptoms (chest pain and dyspnea), presence of arrhythmias, and regional function of the septum.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease. Outflow-tract gradient of 30 mmHg or more under resting conditions is an independent determinant of symptoms of progressive heart failure and death. The investigators hypothesize that the electrical approach by dual chamber pacing could improve symptoms and reduce outflow-tract obstruction in a specific sub-group of selected patients with a mechanical hyper-synchronicity. The aim of the study is to identify and describe this phenomenon in HCM with (O-HCM) and without (NO-HCM) outflow-tract obstruction thanks to innovative multi-imaging approach.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MF/OXY in the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy children with severe allergic rhinitis.
The role of cAMP signaling mediated by beta2-adrenergic stimulation with agonists has been well-studied in skeletal muscles of animals. Studies in humans are scant and the scope of the present study is thus to investigate the role of cAMP signaling by beta2-adrenergic stimulation for muscle adaptations in humans.
Studies in animals have shown that beta2-adrenoceptor activation with selective agonists regulates protein metabolism and muscle growth in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. These effects may be mediated by cAMP/PKA dependent activation of several downstream sites that modulate protein synthesis and breakdown. While the role of beta2-adrenoceptor signaling is well-described in animals, it is inadequately explored in humans. The purpose of the study is thus to investigate the effect of chronic beta2-adrenergic stimulation (cAMP/PKA-signaling) on muscle hypertrophy.
The goal is to determine how lifestyle and exercise impact the well-being of individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and long QT syndrome (LQTS). Ancillary study Aim: To understand how the coronavirus epidemic is impacting psychological health and quality of life in the LIVE population
Skin injuries due to trauma are relatively common, and patients are very concerned about scars caused by trauma and primary repair. Recently, the use of ablative and non-ablative lasers based on the fractional approach has become a novel strategy for the treatment of scars. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of dual-mode Er:YAG laser delivering pulses either with and without heat/coagulation in a cohort of patients with long keloid/hypertrophic scars. The main hypothesis is that ablative fractional laser without heat/coagulation is equivalent to laser with heat/coagulation in terms of scars volume reduction, while the secondary hypothesis is that ablative fractional laser without heat/coagulation is superior in terms of post-operative erythema and hypopigmentation reduction.
This study is designed to learn more about children who have blockage of the left side of their heart. The goal is to determine how much the heart muscle has thickened before surgery and how it changes in the months after surgery. Investigators are also looking for blood tests that may help them predict which patients will have the most thickening pre-operatively and the best return towards normal after surgery. The findings of this study will help the investigators develop new tests to monitor affected patients and develop new therapies to help minimize heart thickening.
With this study, it is aimed to compare the operative results and complication rates in transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) performed by resectoscopes with two different bipolar and a monopolar energy sources.
