Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the occurrence of various arrhythmias ( tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia ) during or after Percutaneous Intramyocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To investigate the occurrence of various arrhythmias ( tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia ) during procedure and its relationship with clinical characteristics and procedural parameters - To analyze the changes of 12-lead electrocardiogram and 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram before and after Percutaneous Intramyocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation and their relationships with clinical characteristics and procedural parameters
Fish oil contains a large amount of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered an important component of a healthy diet. As many patients do not eat fish, supplementation with fish oil is a common strategy to provide sufficient amounts of these particular fatty acids in daily life. Fish oil supplementation has been investigated for decades for its cardio-protective effects and its ability to lower serum triglycerides. People with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk for cardiovascular events and show alterations in lipids with high triglycerides. Whether there is a benefit of fish oil supplementation in this high risk group remains unclear with major international diabetes associations recommending against the use of fish oil supplements. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has not made any recommendations about the use of fish oils in people with diabetes since 2004. To inform the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD has commissioned the proposed systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of fish oil supplementation on cardiovascular outcomes in people with diabetes and use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to assess the certainty of the evidence.
This study is a prevelance trial looking at how sleep apnoea affects the heart especially heart rhythms. Previous research shows that patients suffering from sleep apnoea are much more likely to get heart disease and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). These defects are sometimes missed by the traditional methods of monitoring i.e. 24-hour Holter monitor and ECGs. This means potentially dangerous arrhythmias may not be detected. Additionally, standard therapy for sleep apnoea does not significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. This study will recruit 200 participants over a period of 18 months. The research team will observe the heart rhythms of sleep apnoea patients by inserting an implantable loop recorder (ILR) in up to 100 participants. The other 100 patients will simply have standard care. This device will monitor the heart continuously for 3 years allowing us to detect abnormal heart rhythms and treat as necessary. Demonstrating the incidence of arrhythmia can lead onto a larger study which may change future sleep apnoea management improving their cardiovascular outcomes. Other markers of heart disease such as; blood tests, Magnetocardiography and Echocardiography will be performed on participants to shed more light on the mechanisms which link sleep apnoea and heart disease/arrhythmia.
Higher risk of cardiac and respiratory post-operative events is observed in patients with unrecognised Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The efficiency of a simple method of OSA screening by analysing ventilation with measurement of nose pressure and nocturnal hypoxemia (oxygen desaturation index) will be assessed. These sleep respiratory analyses will be compared with the research of arrhythmia, in order to show if they are linked to the hypoxemia events. Aggravation of nocturnal respiratory disorder and higher incidence of cardiac and respiratory postoperative complications will be assessed in OSA patients.
The overall goal is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of a measure of autoregulatory adequacy derived from CVInsight and compare it with other measures in recognizing hypotensive events during hemodialysis..
Clinical studies are required to validate the hepatic NIRS monitor with other regional and global hemodynamic parameters and to evaluate its clinical use for continuous non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Using newer NIRS sensors the correlation between hepatic regional oxygen saturation and hepatic venous oxygen saturation (SvHO2) needs to be determined. If found to correlate then the NIRS can be used to evaluate early liver transplant failure and/or hepatic artery thrombosis, used as an early marker for shock, and necrotizing enterocolitis, and finally used in the outpatient setting to evaluate patients with chronic liver pathologies. If our validation study finds that NIRS monitors are an appropriate marker of hepatic venous saturation then it will lead to further clinical studies.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Sleuth Monitoring system.
We hypothesize that oral supplementation with omega-3 PUFA will decrease occurrence of arrhythmic events among post-MI, ICD recipients.
The overall objective of the study is to quantify the true prognostic value and cost-effectiveness of routine follow-up visits in patients who receive an approved pacemaker of any type for the first time.
