Being born small increases your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with age. Furthermore, data even suggest that some of the diseases ("complications") in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, liver, blood vessels and heart often seen in T2D patients may not only be due to high blood sugar levels, but rather they to some extent are due to reduced growth in your mother´s womb. The Inter99 cohort included 6784 Danish citizens aged 30 to 60 years when established 20 years ago. Data from the Inter99 cohort showed a strong role of low birth weight (LBW) on T2D risk. The aim is now to reexamine risk of T2D and complications in all the alive 6004 elderly Inter99 participants. Importantly, today there are available techniques to perform detailed examinations for even the earliest signs of complications in both subjects with and without diabetes, and the results of this study will altogether provide important new insights into both the origin and classification of T2D and associated complications. It is hypothesized that being born with lower birth weights increases the adult risk of T2D and heart disease and associated complications in the large and smaller blood vessels.
A pilot study planned to evaluate initial safety of ticagrelor monotherapy after coronary stenting due to acute myocardial infarction. The study is a single-centre, single-arm, prospective phase II study 200 patients who undergo coronary artery stenting due to NSTEMI or STEMI will be included. Primary endpoint (variable): The composite of cardiac death, spontaneous myocardial infarction or definite or probable stent thrombosis within 3 months.
This study aims to clarify, in patients with more or less abundant pericardial effusion in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction, the correlation between the existence of this effusion during the acute phase with clinical parameters, biological, angiographic, therapeutic and with transmurality, extent, microvascular obstruction and intra myocardial hemorrhage found on MRI made beyond one week and before the 3rd month of the constitution of the necrosis.
In order to accelerate border crossing between basic research and clinical research in acute myocardial infarction, it is necessary to easily use clinical and biological data. That is the reason why it is very important to create a clinical, biological and pathologic database of acute myocardial infarction, mainly prospective. All data are from patients treated in 5 centers in Shanghai，including Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai Renji Hospital，Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital，Shanghai First People's Hospital, and Shanghai Tongji Hospital.
Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, with over 650,000 deaths in 2019 alone. Many healthy individuals possess key risk factors for heart disease which include but are not limited to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease, and diabetes. The purpose of the Genetesis Accelerated Registry (GEAR) study is to understand the potential for magnetocardiography to be utilized as a diagnostic, screening or surveillance tool for heart disease in healthy and non-healthy volunteers. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a diagnostic method that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart for the detection of various forms of heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 500 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux MCG scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an event of myocardial necrosis caused by myocardial ischemia. Although the incidence and economic burden of AMI has declined in high-income countries, the incidence rate of AMI in China has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Initial medical therapy combined with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently the most important advance in restoring coronary perfusion. Timely reperfusion therapy may halt the progress of necrosis and preserve viable tissue; however, it can also induce myocardial injury and cause cardiomyocyte death, a phenomenon called myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), which can increase final myocardial infarct size by up to 50%. Unfortunately, there is no effective intervention for preventing IRI to date, though an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of IRI has led to the suggestion of several innovative therapeutic strategies with the potential for reducing unintended negative side effects of reperfusion therapy in AMI patients. Whether there is a therapeutic intervention that can effectively and safely reduce myocardial infarct size and cardiac mortality has been intensely explored over the years. Against this backdrop, a phenomenon called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has long been discussed as a potential approach to address the above issues. The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficacy of perioperative remote ischemic conditioning delivered at individual timepoints (e.g., pre-, per- and post-PCI) on myocardial injury in patients with AMI.
This study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, excellence clinical trial. Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned 1:1 to r-SAK group or the control group (normal saline). Emergency coronary angiography was performed and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed 5 days after surgery, followed up to 30 days. At present, there is still a lack of clinical evidence on whether thrombolytic therapy is performed for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction <2 hours after the first medical contact and prime PCI. Compared to prime PCI, early thrombolytic therapy can undoubtedly shorten the implementation time of reperfusion strategy to the maximum. For highly effective thrombolytic drugs, it should also shorten the reperfusion time, reduce thrombotic load, possibly reduce the area of myocardial infarction and improve the prognosis of patients. In this study, normal saline was used as the control. To observe the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy with single intravenous infusion of recombinant glucokinase (r-SAK) at the first time in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. And the effect of r-SAK on improving myocardial tissue level perfusion, reducing myocardial infarction size, improving cardiac function and clinical prognosis in STEMI patients.
Based on the clinical data of patients, a machine learning model for coronary heart disease diagnosis was established to evaluate whether the model could improve the accuracy of coronary heart disease diagnosis, and to evaluate its authenticity, reliability and benefits.
