Filter by:The overall objective of this study is to describe the effectiveness of Flublok Quadrivalent vaccine compared to standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine (SD-IIV) in adults 18 through 64 years of age. During this study, Flublok Quadrivalent or SD-IIV will be administered according to the guidelines in the Prescribing Information materials and only to persons for whom it is indicated. The 2018-2019, 2019-2020, and 2020-2021 formulations of recombinant influenza vaccine (Flublok Quadrivalent vaccine) and SD-IIV will be evaluated for outcomes including all polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed influenza, PCR-confirmed hospitalized influenza, hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia and cardio-respiratory events.
This study evaluates the use of early mechanical circulatory support in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Patients are treated according to the National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative protocol, which emphasizes early identification of cardiogenic shock and rapid delivery of mechanical circulatory support based on invasive hemodynamics. All patients treated in this manner are enrolled in the National Cardiogenic Shock registry.
The study aims to investigate whether oral betablocker (BB) therapy is superior to no such treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Background: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is widely used as an instrument for assessing the functional capacity of cardiac patients. It's a simple, low cost test that better reflects day-to-day activities when compared to other tests. Its use to evaluate the functional capacity of cardiac patients in the in-hospital phase after acute myocardial infarction requires further studies. Objective: To evaluate the safety of the 6MWT performed on the third day after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: It's a cross-sectional study, to be accomplished in Hospital São Paulo - Federal University of Sao Paulo. Individuals, of both genders, aged 18 years and over, will be assessed on the third day after acute myocardial infarction. The 6MWT will be performed according to the norms of the American Thoracic Society. The distance covered during the 6MWT will be measured as weel as adverse events.
The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality
The investigators will conduct a feasibility study of an enhanced transitional care intervention, that will: 1) automate identification and risk-stratification of patients with CHF and IHD with social vulnerabilities; 2) incorporate a new standardized social vulnerabilities screening tool into clinical care; 3) enable electronic referrals to community resources; and 4) add novel community-based interventions to the existing medically-oriented transitional care intervention that is the standard of care at the study hospital (Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas) and other hospitals nationwide.
Study objective is the evaluation of safety and efficacy at 12 months of the combination treatment of bare metal Stent plus Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon vs drug eluting stent in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction with less than 12 hours of evolution.
• The aim of the VIP study is to investigate the impact of vulnerability markers (inflammatory serum biomarkers for systemic vulnerability, coronary shear stress and vulnerability mapping for pancoronary vulnerability, and imaging-based plaque features for systemic vulnerability) on the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events caused by progression of the non-culprit lesion in patients with acute ST or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who undergo revascularization of the culprit lesion during the acute event. Furthermore, the study will evaluate the rate of progression of non-culprit lesions towards a higher degree of vulnerability, based on coronary computed tomography angiographic assessment at 1 year after enrollment.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been known as a risk factor for coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular accident and atrial fibrillation. One study reported that patients with OSA have more atherosclerotic plaque burden in intravascular ultrasonography examination. Among patients who admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 65.7% (69 of 105) patients were diagnosed with OSA. Other long-term follow-up study revealed that 45.4% of patients (594 of 1311) who performed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were diagnosed with OSA. Moreover, the OSA group was a significant independent predictor of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of OSA. But, PSG is expensive, time-consuming and difficult to perform immediately. Recently, a portable device named WATCH-PAT (Itamar Ltd, Israel) was developed for the diagnosis of OSA. Validation study demonstrated a high correlation between WATCH-PAT and PSG in apnea-hypopnea index, lowest oxygen saturation and sleep time. This result suggested WATCH-PAT can be performed as an alternative or supportive device of PSG. WATCH-PAT. The portable device also can be useful to detect OSA in bus drivers who can be the reason for public traffic accidents. Moreover, WATCH-PAT can be applied to assess postoperative improvement of OSA. Although OSA is known as one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, there is a lack of evidence to recommend of the evaluation of sleep disorder in patient with coronary artery disease. Awareness and compliance for OSA are very low in both patients and cardiologists. Active diagnosis and treatment are definitely needed. Therefore, the primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of OSA in AMI patients who treated PCI. The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the 1-year incidence rate of MACCEs according to the presence or absence of OSA.
The EMERALD II study is a multinational, multicenter, and retrospective study. ACS patients who underwent CCTA from 1 months to 3 years prior to the event will be retrospectively identified. Plaques in the non-culprit vessels will be regarded as a primary control group.
