Filter by:This study design is a prospective randomized control trial to compare outcomes between the utilization of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) vs conservative treatment in type 2 NSTEMI. The targeted population is expectedly heterogeneous and inpatient setting who are admitted and diagnosed with type 2 NSTEMI.
Plasma cardiac troponin (cTn) elevation is an indicator of increased mortality in patients with sepsis yet the underlying cause of troponin elevation in sepsis is not known. The COMTESS study investigates whether elevated high-sensitive cardiac Troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels in hemodynamically unstable patients with sepsis can be explained by an underlying coronary artery disease or a process within the coronary microcirculation. Fifty patients with sepsis and with hs-cTnT elevation (>15 ng/L) will undergo coronary angiography, including an assessment of coronary flow using a method called thermo-dilution to record the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The relationship between IMR and hs-cTnT will subsequently be analysed. It is important to identify the underlying causes of elevated cTn during sepsis to target further research with an aim to improve the survival in patients suffering from this condition.
The aim of this study is to prospectively analyse the rate of MINS in the standardised radical prostatectomy patient clientele at the Martini-Clinic and to identify risk factors. Pre- and postoperative troponin levels are determined (1st and 2nd postoperative day). The patient's height, weight, age and cardiovascular risk factors (including determination of the Revised Cardiac Risk Index) are recorded in the medical history as well as previous medical and interventional cardiological therapy. Furthermore, the prostate carcinoma-associated tumour and surgical parameters are determined. Clinically significant cardiovascular events during the inpatient stay are also described. Finally, a description of the rate of events, a check for correlation with the Revised Cardiac Risk Index and an identification of risk factors are carried out.
The study was a single-center, randomized controlled trial. To explore the cardioprotective effect of cardiopeptide on non-heart disease patients with severe cardiac injury by comparing whether cardiopeptide was used.
The investigators aim to show the feasibility and medicoeconomic impact of implementing a clinical screening and response system for the early detection of perioperative cardiac complications in high-risk patients. Specifically, the investigators aim to: 1) evaluate the feasibility of implementation of a PMI-screening; 2) evaluate the medicoeconomic impact of implementing a PMI-screening; 3) identify barriers to implementation; 4) generate data for a future randomized controlled trial on outcomes by exploring opportunities to improve care following PMI, the occurrence and timing of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and the treatment effect associated with PMI-screening.
Endothelial dysfunction is a cardiovascular disease hallmark. After non-cardiac surgery, cardiovascular events correlate with surgical outcomes. Understanding the role of endothelial function in these events is crucial. This research aims to study endothelial function and its association with cardiovascular events.
The goal of this observational study is to collect health data on people who are at high risk of having heart complications and are having a surgery that is not on the heart. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is this study feasible in terms of recruiting enough people to participate in this study? - How often do heart complications happen in people who are at high risk of heart complications and are having a surgery that is not on the heart? Participants will have their usual care and will also be asked to: - Have extra bloodwork done - Complete some surveys - Have two echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart) - Continue to follow-up with the research team for one year after their surgery Researchers will compare how often heart complications occur in this high risk population to a future study where participants will receive stem cells before their surgery.
This is a multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, sham-controlled, observer blinded trial, assessing the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning on preventing myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery.
The present study is an investigator initiated, single-centre, prospective, proof-of-concept cohort study aiming to enroll 44 patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke, involving the right (n=22) and left (n=22) MCA territories and 24 control patients with acute focal neurological symptoms but no evidence of acute brain infarct on DWI-MRI.
This topic will focus on the following questions: 1. Part one: To clarify the relationship between preoperative frailty and myocardial injury (cTnT ≥0.03) after non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients; To further explore the predictive factors of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery （MINS） in elderly frail patients before operation. 2. Part Two: To explore the effect of low-dose esmolol on myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery in frail elderly patients.
