Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if systemic cooling to a target temperature of 34 to 35°C, started within 6 hours of symptom onset and maintained for 12 hours, improves functional outcome at 3 months in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
This registry is a clinical post-market evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES).
Mildronate an inhibitor of carnitine-dependent metabolism, is considered an anti-ischemic drug. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mildronate injection in treating acute ischemic stroke.
Presently, the left ventricular lead is placed in a similar position for all patients. It is not known whether placing this lead in different positions in the heart will make the heart pump better. In this study, the investigator will collect measurements of the heart's electrical activity during an Electrophysiology Study (EP study or EPS). The hope is that these measurements will provide the know how to develop an individualized left ventricular lead placement "prescription" for patients referred for left ventricular lead pacing.
It has been demonstrated the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells derived from lipoaspirate for treating various pathologies fistula. With this project we will address a study population with critical ischemia of lower limbs without possibility of revascularization, either by technical criteria (no intervention possible to compensate for the lack of irrigation of a limb) criteria or risk / benefit (intolerable surgical risk for the type of intervention required). It will almost always elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and high surgical risk who have a lower limb ischemia in critical degree, with very high probability of major amputation in the short term or immediate. Hypothesis: mesenchymal stem cells obtained by lipoaspirate expanded "ex vivo", are capable of promoting angiogenesis de novo to improve critical limb ischemia lower nonrevascularizable a safe manner
Clopidogrel is crucial as antiplatelet treatment in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation and during one year after PCI, to prevent atherothrombotic complications. However, clopidogrel is ineffective in certain patients due to genetic mutation in CYP2C19 gene a specific enzyme in the liver required for metabolism of clopidogrel. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test these patients genetically at bedside and prescribe an alternative drug such as Ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily) or prasugrel ( 10mg once daily or 5mg once daily if the patient older than 75 years or a body weight < 60kg) if they are carriers of the allele 2 or 3 of the mutated gene.
The aim of the presented clinical trial is to evaluate a hypothesis, that BMAC prepared from bone marrow aspirate and injected intramuscularly into ischemic areas of the lower extremity in patients with diabetes mellitus type II., intraarterially into the defect of the limb or with an intravenous application only, has a greater potential to improve the perfusion in the ischemic limbs than standard treatment of NO-CLI. Another aim of the study is to find out differences among three different therapeutic types of BMAC application, to define their effectiveness and safety and to compare the impact of different means of application to the speed of healing of the limb defects and the improvement of perfusion parameters.
This study is being done to determine if Ranolazine treatment improves coronary microcirculation function among patients with coronary microcirculation dysfunction. We are also looking to learn if symptomatic improvement of chest pain during treatment with Ranalozine is related to improved coronary microcirculation function.
Ischemic postconditioning by repetitive cycles of reperfusion and ischemia has been proven both in animal models and in humans. This study aims to investigate the effect of ischemic postconditioning on postoperative hemodynamic function in a standard heart surgery patient population.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important public health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Associations between risk factors, such as smoking, dyslipidaemia or hypertension, and prevalent CVD are well documented. However, few studies have investigated associations with onset of disease. The initial manifestation of CVD, for example an episode of unstable angina, is important because it influences the prognosis, the quality of life and the management of disease. Furthermore, the extent to which social deprivation, alcohol consumption or atrial fibrillation affects presentation of CVD is poorly understood and deserves further consideration. Most previous studies have considered CVD as a single entity. However, differences in aetiology between coronary phenotypes suggest that risk factors may not be shared across specific coronary phenotypes and their relative importance is likely to differ for each phenotype. Gaining knowledge of these differences could provide insights into the pathophysiology of specific forms of CVD and could eventually lead to modification of recommendations for patient management and disease prevention. We propose to use the linkage of the national registry of coronary events to general practice records in the Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD), to investigate whether demographic, behavioral, and clinico-metabolic risk factors differentially influence the onset of specific types of CVD.
