Filter by:The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of any age and gender that visit a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia, are recruited. Individuals are classified according to their arterial BP and allostasis and follow them in time to see what kind of diseases develops the most (including BP) in the follow up according to the categorization of the characteristic chosen and after adjustment for confounder's variables. In addition, stress events with their date are registered. HYPOTHESIS The causes of the diseases are multifactorial. Physical, biochemical, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of development dynamically interact to shape the health development process. A person´s health depends on their: 1. Biological and physiologic systems 2. External and internal environment (a) physical, b) internal behavioural and arousal state as registered by the brain. 3. Their interaction. The allostatic mechanisms to the internal and external stressors (allostatic load) involves a network composed by: 1. Functional systems; mediated by: 1. The Autonomic Nervous System 2. The endocrine system 3. The immune system 2. Structural changes: whenever the internal and/or external stressors are long lasting and/or strength enough, they may induce changes in: 1. Epigenetic, endophenotypes, polyphenism. 2. Plasticity 3. The interaction between a) and b). The network response do not affect exclusively the BP, propitiating the development of comorbidities, which may prompt strategies for prevention, recognition and ultimately, treatment. The allostatic model defines health as a state of responsiveness. The concept of psycho-biotype: The allostasis is the result of both: biological (allostasis) and psychological (psychostasis) abilities. It is proposed that both components behave in similar direction and magnitude. Immune disorders may be associated with the development of cancer. High BP population has a higher sympathetic and lower vagal tone, this has been associated with a decrease in the immune´s system function. Resources and energy depletion: Terms like weathering have been used to describe how exposures to different allostatic loads gradually scrape away at the protective coating that keeps people healthy. It is postulated that High BP individuals have more resources and energy.
The investigators planned to research the cardioprotective effects of intravenous liraglutide on reperfusion injury.
Residual thrombosis of stent struts may occur after the end of primary angioplasty and determine distal embolization and further myocardial damage. Bivalirudin is considered the most appropriate antithrombotic drug in the setting of primary PCI, but an initial increase in stent thrombosis has been reported. In order to overcome this potential adverse event, a prolonged infusion of bivalirudin after the end of PCI has been proposed. This aim of this study is to test whether the use of long-term bivalirudin infusion, as compared to the intra-procedural only administration, reduces residual thrombosis of stent struts evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the end of primary PCI and at 3-5 days follow-up. A subgroup of patients enrolled in the MATRIX (Minimizing Adverse haemmhorragic events by TRansradial access site and AngioX study) study will be selected showing the following inclusion criteria: - patients affected by STEMI undergoing primary PCI with stent implantation and randomised to bivalirudin treatment, - patients who, in addition to the infarct related lesion, show at least one critical stenosis of other coronary vessels suitable for staged-PCI, - patients whose anatomy is suitable for OCT evaluation.
To investigate the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the development of arrhythmia in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
This study aims to assess the effect of exenatide on myocardial injury in patients undergoing emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction or heart attack (STEMI).
- There is evidence that inflammatory processes may play detrimental role during the acute phase of myocardial infarction - The hypothesis of this study is that colchicine, by its anti-inflammatory action, may lead to reduction in infarct size, when administered during the acute phase of myocardial infarction
First acute anterior myocardial infarction in patients with primary PCI preoperative and postoperative 30 days intensive dose atorvastatin statin therapy compared with conventional -dose therapy , patients can improve left ventricular function , reduce major adverse cardiovascular events .
The investigators aimed to evaluated the role of bedside sleep medicine in an cardiology intensive care unit. The patients will be submitted to a overnight polysomnography. Those individuals with sleep apnea will be treated with CPAP during the ICU admission. Also, the investigators will identify the factors that compromise the sleep and will act to minimize them to improve the sleep quality. After the interventions, the investigators will evaluate if there are reduced days of hospital admission, major cardiovascular events (infarction, reinfarction, heart failure and stroke) and overall mortality.
