Filter by:We conducted an observation sub-study of the prospective randomized controlled trial "High Dose Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure", in which we analysed the echocardiographic data collected both at baseline when patients where included and 3-5 days later for followup.
The aim of this study is to identify existing definitions and therapeutic approaches for acute right ventricular injury (RVI) in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support. The objective of the study is to generate expert consensus statements on the definition and management of acute RVI in this high-risk patient population, using a Delphi method. The standardised RVI definition during ECMO for respiratory support and a consensus-based management approach to RVI will facilitate systematic aggregation of data across clinical trials to harmonise patient selection and compare therapeutic interventions.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate cardiac and vascular health status of pediatric cancer survivors.
The objective of this study is to assess the effects of intrathecal local anesthetics on left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is one of the strongest predictors of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains the gold standard for LVEF measurement. Currently, LVEF can be estimated at the time of the coronary angiogram but requires a ventriculography. This latter is performed at the price of an increased amount of contrast media injected and puts the patients at risk for mechanical complications, ventricular arrhythmia or atrio-ventricular blocks. Artificial intelligence (AI) has previously been shown to be an accurate method for determining LVEF using different data sources. Fur the purpose of this study, we aim at validating prospectively an AI algorithm, called CathEF, for the prediction of real-time LVEF (AI-LVEF) compared to TTE-LVEF and ventriculography in patients undergoing coronary angiogram for ACS.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how hypoxia (low oxygen) affects resting and exertional right ventricular function in healthy individuals.
Short title REPORT-BPD feasibility study Design A mixed methods observational cohort feasibility study Study Setting Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust Aim To explore the feasibility of measuring the right ventricular function of the premature heart to develop a prediction model to identify early BronchoPulmonary Dysplasia in premature infants. Objectives 1. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the study procedures e.g., recruitment, echo scans performance, data collection, storage, and analysis. 2. To identify the sensitive echo parameters in assessing the right ventricle function of the heart to be included in a prediction model to identify early BPD in premature infants. Study Participants Preterm infants born <32 weeks of gestational age, their parents and healthcare professionals involved in the care of the study's preterm infants. Sample size 40 preterm infants Follow-up Each preterm infant will be followed up till they are 36 weeks of post menstrual age (PMA) or until discharge home whichever comes first. Study Period 18 months Outcome Measures 1. Establishing sensitive and feasible echo parameters for detecting right ventricle dysfunction associated with early BPD pulmonary vascular changes. 2. Suitability of eligibility criteria and sample characteristics. 3. Fidelity to the study procedures such as recruitment, data collection including echo scans performance at the set time points. 4. Recruitment, accrual, and retention rates.
Right heart failure during cardiac surgery is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. In this context, it is imperative to develop simple diagnostic tools to detect right heart failure. The purpose of this observational study is to determine if ultrasound Doppler of the femoral vein can detect and predict right ventricular failure after cardiac surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. It is expected that an elevated pulsatility of the femoral vein before the induction of general anesthesia is associated with perioperative right heart failure.
The purpose of this research is to prospectively test and validate the single-lead Low EF algorithm in outpatients in order to test the performance of a single-lead ECG based algorithm to identify people with decreased left ventricular EF.
