Filter by:A multicenter observational data development registry collecting diagnostic measures via standard of care (SOC) cardiac PET in order gain a better understanding of how CardioFlux MCG may be used in the detection of coronary ischemia.
Behçet's Disease activity was evaluated using BD Current Activity Form (BDCAF). Serum calprotectin and IMA concentrations were compared among active BD cases, inactive BD cases and control subjects.
Study using ultrasound of the brain as a diagnostic tool to differentiate between ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Correlation of brain perfusion and size of stroke in relation to systemic hemodynamic targets will be assessed on serial scans.
We will establish a cohort of 570 symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing 15O-water PET and assess their symptoms through repeated questionnaires. Two hundred patients with abnormal perfusion will be randomized to immediate or delayed referral to invasive coronary angiography with concomitant optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy with repeated 15O-water PET and questionnaires at 3 and 6 months. The primary objective is to compare the potential benefit of early invasive coronary angiography (ICA) versus guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) on symptomatic relief defined as freedom of angina after 3 months following a positive [15O]H2O cardiac PET/CT in patients with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome.
The present study evaluates skin microvascular reactivity and coronary physiology in the same coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. This study is expected to find associations between systemic microvascular reactivity, measured non-invasively at the skin surface, and coronary reserve evaluated by the invasive angiographic method.
A Multicenter Registry of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a non-invasive therapeutic approach for protecting organs or tissue against the detrimental effects of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury. Many protective factors produced by the stimulus of RIC could protect remote target organs and tissues through inhibiting oxidation and inflammation. The phenomenon of this protect effect was first found in myocardium ischemia-reperfusion injury and then RIC was used in children cardiac surgery to provide myocardial protection during operation. Then RIC was gradually applied to brain protection and a series of clinical researches have confirmed that it could improve the cerebral perfusion status, increase cerebral tolerance to ischemic injury, reduce perihematomal edema and promote clearance. Recently, a randomized controlled study reported that daily RIC could improve cerebral perfusion and slow arterial progression of adult MMD. Meanwhile, a single-arm open-label study also indicated that RIC was a promising noninvasive method for ischemic MMD control by relieving symptoms and reducing stroke recurrence. In addition, the effects of RIC on reducing neurological complications in MMD patients treated with revascularization surgery has also been reported. However, the mechanism of RIC in reducing peri-operative complications for MMD patients is still unknown. Thus, we conducted a randomized controlled study to explore the safety and efficacy of RIC in adult MMD patients undergoing revascularization therapy
The aim of this study is to investigate whether measurement of the long forms of cTnT with the novel SuperTROPO assay would improve the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in patients in the emergency department. The main goals are: 1. To assess whether measuring long forms of cTnT with the novel SuperTROPO assay and determining the ratio of long cTnT and standard high-sensitivity cTnT could separate patients with type 1 NSTEMI patients from patients with other causes of minor (> 14ng/L) cTnT elevation in a single admission blood sample in unselected emergency department patients with clinical indication for troponin measurement. 2. To compare the level of long cTnT and the ratio of long cTnT and standard cTnT in patients with type 1 MI and various clinical patient groups admitted to emergency department with elevated standard cTnT, e.g. patients with atrial fibrillation, heart failure or renal impairment. 3. To evaluate optimal cut-off values for long cTnT and its ratio to standard cTnT in the exclusion and diagnosis of MI in a clinical setting with elevated (>14ng/L) cTnT. 4. To evaluate how time from symptom onset and peak symptom to blood sampling, as well as comorbidities and patients' age impact the discriminative capacity of long cTnT and cTnT ratio between patients with and without type 1 MI. 5. To investigate whether information on long cTnT and its ratio to standard cTnT can be used to cut down unnecessary coronary angiographies and hospital admissions The long forms of cTnT are measured from the residual blood samples routinely collected from patients with suspected myocardial infarction.
A multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial aiming at evaluating the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after successful recanalization of acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation by mechanical thrombectomy in improving the 90-day functional outcome.
The goal of this observational, practice-based feasibility study is to observe the efficacy and safety of intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® in Malaysian patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to peripheral arterial disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® reduce symptoms of CLI due to peripheral arterial disease while improving the healing rate and functional outcomes? - Does intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® causes any serious adverse events in CLI due to peripheral arterial disease patients? Study patients will be assessed by the PI before administering the Stempeucel® for any other organ with inflammation. The study patients will also be followed up to the duration of 1 year after study treatment administration for safety and efficacy assessment.
