Filter by:Fragility, geriatric concept recent identification is defined by simple physical indicators. The literature suggests that it is related to the risk of hospitalization, falls, institutionalization and death. Some studies have shown a link with heart disease, including heart failure. The link with the TIA (transient ischemic attack) has however never been studied. A fortiori, the impact of the fragility of the risk of recurrent stroke after TIA is unknown. Several questions need to be asked: Among older patients hospitalized for TIA, what proportion of those completing the criteria of frailty? In this same population, is there a correlation between fragility and scores ABCD2 score itself predictive of the risk of subsequent ischemic stroke? In other words, fragile subjects who have a TIA Have a higher risk of ischemic stroke (which could cause a strengthening of prevention measures)?
This study was a multicenter, randomized, controlled pilot trial of moderate systemic hypothermia (33°C) vs normothermia (37°C) for 48 hours in infants with neonatal encephalopathy instituted within 6 hours of birth or hypoxic-ischemic event.
Angioplasty augmented radiofrequency denervation popliteal artery, in our opinion, will remove the spasm with macro and microcirculatory blood flow, which increases revascularization patency of tibial arteries.
Laugh is more than visual and vocal behave, is always followed by a series of physiological changes, including contractions of musculoskeletal system, increase of cardiac frequency by catecholamine release and hyperventilation that promoves the increase of maximum breathing and oxygen saturation. Laugh therapy may be an alternative therapy, simple, and improve the quality of life of individuals can influence physiological and biochemical parameters of the human body.
This is a phase 1, blinded-outcome, randomized, placebo controlled study to investigate the safety and feasibility of super-selective intra-arterial administration of verapamil and citicoline immediately following successful endovascular thrombectomy as a potential neuroprotective synergistic therapeutic strategy in emergent large vessel occlusion stroke. This trial represents the first time that citicoline will be evaluated in human subjects as a superselectively administered neuroprotective agent administered in an acute time frame as an adjunct to intra-arterial thrombectomy. Furthermore, it will represent the first trial to evaluate combinational therapy for acute stroke neuroprotection.
Investigators conduct a monocentric pilot study with the objective to determine the hemodynamic parameter of fluorescence angiography (slope, amplitude, saturation time ) best correlated with toe pressure in patients with suspicion of critical limb ischemia.
Ischemic strokes are one of the leading causes of handicap and death in elderly people in France. Cognitive reserve (CR) is an active model, defined as a function of lifetime intellectual activities and other environmental factors that explain differential susceptibility to functional impairment in the presence of pathology or other neurological insult. CR is estimated using variables for cognitive activity: years of education, professional status, socioeconomic status… Furthermore, brain reverse (BR) is a passive and quantitative model that depend on brain size and other quantitative aspects of the brain that explain differential susceptibility to functional impairment in the presence of pathology. Firstly, volume and localization of ischemic strokes have a great impact on CR and BR due to brain injury. On the other hand, CR influences the severity and the expression of cognitive diseases. The investigators realize a prospective study in order to assess the impact of CR and BR on cognitive prognosis after a right middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke in elderly patients.
This study aims to understand the impact of time-of-the day on human myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion by exploring atrial myocardium biopsied during cardiac surgery. Patients scheduled for non-urgent cardiac surgery (coronary artery by-pas graft and/or aortic valve replacement) will be assigned to a morning or an afternoon cardiac surgery based on randomization. Myocardial biopsies will be explored in ex vivo conditions mimicking ischemia-reperfusion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of MPICT for the detection of hemodynamically relevant coronary stenosis (as determined by invasive FFR) in patients with suspected or known CAD clinically referred for invasive angiography.
Cardiovascular diseases are important cause of death, and of these have highlighted the Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and its various clinical manifestations. The chest pain suggestive of ischemic heart disease is frequent complaint in medical consultations and hospitalizations . Complementary tests and images exams for risk stratification as Cardiac Stress Test (ET), the Myocardial Perfusion scintigraphy of (SPECT) are established for risk stratification and assessment workup in suspected ischemic heart disease. Coronary tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as a robust method for non-invasive assessment of CAD, showing data diagnostics that directly correlate with invasive coronary angiography. Recently, the Myocardial Perfusion by Tomography Computed (CTP) has emerged as a new technique to measure the flow limitation for coronary microcirculation. In clinical practice, the exercise testing with electrocardiogram changes compatible with myocardial ischemia can lead to other examinations for elucidation of ischemic etiology, the most usual myocardial scintigraphy. However, a SPECT without evidence of ischemia, does not explain ischemic electrocardiographic changes triggered by physical stress, although it is a good marker prognostic. A CTP is a emerging tool in the evaluation of myocardial ischemia. Recent studies point to a good accuracy of the method compared to nuclear medicine. To test this hypothesis, this study aims to evaluate whether the CTP has a better diagnostic performance in detecting of obstructive or not obstructive CAD compared to the SPECT in the population of patients with exercise stress testing compatible with myocardial ischemia, and the computed tomography angiography (CTA) as the reference method. In addition, data from the exercise test (functional capacity, hemodynamics, electrocardiogram changes) will be compared to findings of CTA and CTP.
