Filter by:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death for women over the age of 25, accounting for 1 of every 3 female deaths. Research has shown that while hypertension in women is less controlled, they are also less likely to be identified with ischemic heart disease and when diagnosed treated less aggressively than men. Moreover, women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The Women's Assessed Cardiovascular Evaluation with MCG (WACE-MCG) study is designed to collect CardioFlux scans on a select group of female volunteers who are Ms. Medicine patients. CardioFlux is used as a noninvasive MCG tool that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart to detect various forms of heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 200 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux MCG scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.
This is a randomized, controlled, active comparator arm, outcome assessor blind, parallel group design on 90 patient with diagnosis of ischemic stroke admitted in Bou-Ali Sina Hospital, Sari,Iran.The aim of study is assess the efficacy of ticagrelor plus aspirin in reduce of minor non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high risk TIA recurrence during first 3 months.
This is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase Ib/IIa clinical study to assess the administration of ApTOLL together with endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients who are candidates to receive reperfusion therapies.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the top killer nowadays. Pressure-wire-based Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for measuring ischemia in coronary arteries. CFD-based RuiXin-FFR, which is noninvasive, is developed recently. But its accuracy is not verified. This is a multi-center and prospective study to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CFD-based RuiXin-FFR compared with wire-based FFR.
This is a prospective multicenter clinical study that used WIFI grading scores at different periods to evaluate the therapeutic value of endovascular therapy and this grading system for Chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
Delipid Extracorporeal Lipoprotein filter from Plasma (DELP) has been found to improve neurological function and life ability of AIS patients and approved for the treatment of AIS by China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). Our recent study imply that the neuroprotective effect of DELP involved multiple neuroprotective mechanism such as anti-inflammation, free radical scavenging, and decreasing MMP-9. Based on the multiple mechanisms, DELP was used to investigate the effect on acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular treatment.
Stroke is thought to cause disability immediately after stroke followed by a 3-to-6-month recovery period, after which disability levels are supposed to stabilize unless recurrent events occur. However, studies showed that post-stroke recovery is heterogeneous. While some stroke survivors quickly recover, others may show an accelerated accumulation of disability over time. The current prospective observational study will investigate trajectories of multidimensional functioning and self-rated health in the year after stroke. Particularly, the study aims to explore the relationship between trajectories of disability and self-rated health. Moreover, the study will focus on potential predictors of changes in disability and self-rated health, i.e., views on aging and psychological resilience. Patients will be recruited during their stay at the stroke unit and participate in a face-to-face interview and four follow-up telephone interviews in the post-stroke year.
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in late 2019 and has since been diagnosed in over a million persons worldwide. As this virus progresses, it causes an extreme and uncontrolled response from the patient's immune system accompanied by reduced oxygen flow to major organs, and subsequent ischaemic injury. The current treatment of COVID-19 is largely supportive without any cure or vaccine available at this time. Developing new methods to reduce this heightened inflammatory response is essential to halting progression of COVID-19 in patients and reducing the severity of damage. The cellular mechanisms seen in COVID-19 are similar to those seen in patients with sepsis. A process known as Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) is an intervention which has been shown to prevent cellular injury including those associated with sepsis. Based on the evidence from studies looking at sepsis, it is anticipated the same benefit would be seen in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. RIC is a simple, non-invasive procedure where a blood pressure cuff is applied to the arm for repeated cycles of inflating and deflating (typically 3-5 cycles of 5 minutes each). This process activates pro-survival mechanisms in the body to protect vital organs and improve the immune system. Therefore, we believe it represents an exciting strategy to protect organs against reduced blood flow and extreme immune response, as seen in COVID-19 infections. This study has already been fully approved
Acute mesenteric artery thromboembolism(AMT) is one of the important causes of acute abdomen and intestinal necrosis. If the intestinal blood supply is not restore in time, the prognosis of the disease is often poor and even endangers the life of the patient. Through laparoscopic surgery combined with modern minimally invasive endovascular technology, the blood supply of patients' intestine is restored. Observe the perioperative vascular patency rate, all-cause mortality, and the probability of short bowel syndrome. Through the hybrid operating room, we want to seek a multidisciplinary collaborative treatment mode to improve the long-term survival rate of such patients with enough intestines and completely free from TPN, and improve the prognosis of these patients.
The aim of the Fused-Heart study is to investigate the impact of a coronary artery stenosis on myocardial function and viability, based on advanced fusion imaging techniques derived from CCTA. Moreover the study will investigate the correlation between morphology and composition of atheromatous plaques located in a coronary artery and myocardial ischemia in the territory irrigated by the same coronary artery.
