Filter by:Study of persistent platelet reactivity during acute coronary syndrome. Patients are included at admission to the hospital. Platelet aggregation is evaluated by platelet function testing after blood sampling during hospitalization. No changes in treatment is planned.
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.
to evaluate the incidence of delirium in patients with acute coronary syndrome and its correlation with adverse events
The aims of the study are to: - explore whether platelet reactivity in patients treated wih novel platelet inhibitors is associated with clinical outcome - investigate whether a therapeutic window exist for novel platelet inhibitors - investigate the incidence of adverse events under treatment with novel platelet inhibitors in the real life clinical scenario - investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms, inflammation, platelet reactivity and clinical outcome - investigate synergistic effects between aspirin and novel platelet inhibitors
To describe the role of genetic factors and its relationship and interaction with environmental factors in the recurrence of cardiac events in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Prospective, multicenter, observational registry collecting data from subjects with Tako-Tsubo (stress-induced) cardiomyopathy (TTC). Uniform, complete, and accurate data will be collected on the subject's medical history, during index hospitalization for TTC, and during follow-up. The objectives are to evaluate the prevalence and incidence of cancer in patients with TTC, to document the underlying causes of death during hospital stay and during follow-up, to determine the long-term prognosis, and to identify possible predictors of short and long-term mortality.
A double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in cardiac ICU patients who had been diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, using a sleep promoting drug (zolpidem controlled release). The study hypothesis is that sleeping better can improve the heart recovery in patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
The objective of this multidisciplinary study is to employ health-economic evaluation in determining the health benefits achieved with exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and the costs derived from it compared with conventional post-acute care of cardiac patients in the Finnish health care system.
Multicenter, double blind, randomized trial to assess the effect of low-dose colchicine (0.5mg/day) on overall mortality, new coronary syndromes, and ischemic stroke at 2 years after an acute coronary syndrome. The study hypothesis is that colchicine may reduce the specified combined endpoint from 16% to 7-8% at a 2-years follow-up.
This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of renal denervation to decreasing blood pressure and left ventricle remodeling progression in patients after acute coronary syndrome.
