Filter by:Patients with ischemic ventricular tachycardia (VT) are frequently treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. The efficacy of catheter ablation is limited for various reasons; one of those being incomplete myocardial and inhomogenous scar tissue damage due to suboptimal ablation lesions. The aim of our study is to reassess initially ablated endocardial areas in a repeated mapping procedure. Initial lesion parameters will be studied in areas with conduction recovery at repeated mapping procedure. Also, VT inducibility will be correlated to the extent and characteristics of areas with recovered conduction.
Time is one of the most important in the decision of treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The optimal One-stop management from admission to recanalization associated with reduction of in-hospital times. The development of flat-detector computed tomography perfusion capable angio-suite allowed One-stop management to be improved treatment time better and better. To compare One-stop management versus our standard workflow in shortening door-to-recanalization time.
Overall Design: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-exploration study. Main outcome: 1.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of XY03-EA tablets in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
Single-institution, prospective nonrandomized pilot study of critical limb ischemia patients with planned lower extremity revascularization will undergo Flowmet-D measurements in a wound care center setting to determine threshold values associated with wound healing and amputation. A subset of patients will undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy and will have Flowmet-D measurements to determine those who respond best to therapy.
Stroke is the leading neurological disease in the world that causes long-term disability. The most common cause of disability after stroke is motor impairment resulting from brain damage which ultimately causes mobility and functional limitation. Worldwide, the incidence of stroke has been increased by 30% in the last decade. In Europe, more than one million cases have been reported each year and six million stroke survivors are known to be alive till now. The annual estimated cause of stroke treatment in Europe is twenty-seven billion Euros. By 2030, it is estimated that the cost of stroke treatment will be triple the current amount and can reach up to 184 billion dollars. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an economical rehabilitation program that prevents or reduces long-term disability after stroke.
The purpose of this research is to see if Heart Health Yoga (HHY) Program when added on to standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) will improve overall wellbeing and quality of life for patients experiencing ischemic heart disease, heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries.
A bulk of observational evidence suggests an association between periodontitis and recurrent vascular events in ischemic stroke survivors. One plausible biological mechanism relies on the systemic inflammatory response posed by periodontitis together with changes in the normal function of the vascular endothelium which might lead to recurrence in these population. A non-pharmacological anti-inflammatory treatment (non-surgical periodontal therapy) has shown to reduce systemic inflammatory markers and improve endothelial function. Therefore, we propose to carry out a 1-year follow-up pilot randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate whether control of local and systemic inflammation as well as improve function of the vascular endothelium can lead to reduce the risk of recurrence in patients diagnosed from ischemic stroke.
Early-Synergy investigates a diagnostic imaging approach in asymptomatic individuals from the general population for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. The diagnostic imaging approach consists of cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcium scoring (CT-CAC) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion imaging. Early-Synergy investigates the effect of early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction by CMR in asymptomatic individuals with increased CAC. In addition, the diagnostic yield of CMR for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction is investigated. Asymptomatic individuals at increased risk (CAC ≥ 300) are therefore randomized 1:1 to either CMR stress perfusion imaging or a control group.
We undertook the STROKE-CARD trial (NCT02156778) between 2014 and 2018 with follow-up until 2019 to evaluate the efficacy of the Post-Stroke disease-management program STROKE-CARD care. To further investigate the long-term efficacy of STROKE-CARD care all participants of the original trial will be invited for a Long-term in Person follow-up (3 - 6 years).
The purpose of this study is to look at the link between emotional stress and heart disease in men and women. Taking part in this study involves one clinic visit, one week of at home monitoring, and follow up phone calls every 6 months for 3 years.
