Filter by:All neonates with congenital heart disease undergoing stage one palliation (Norwood procedure, Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure) at Texas Children's Hospital will be regularly monitored for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and Troponin level before the surgical procedure, on arrival to the cardiac intensive care unit after their surgical procedure, every 6 hours during the first 24 hours of the post-operative period, followed by daily levels for the first week, and then weekly during patient's regular laboratory work up schedule. These cardiac biomarkers are linked to demographic, hemodynamic, respiratory, pharmacological data available via Sickbay.
This prospective study is a pilot study for evaluating a guidance system that aims to facilitate high-quality echocardiographic acquisitions.
The proposal of this study is to verify if it is feasible and effective to offer a home based cardiac rehabilitation program, that includes the components of health education and physical exercises mostly unsupervised and oriented by telephone and to compare the treatment adherence, the effects in the functional capacity, and the control of coronary risk factors in relation to the traditional cardiac rehabilitation offered mostly supervised and center based.
The primary objective of this study is to gather chest CT images as part of routine clinical procedure from subjects with and without prior sternotomy to characterize the substernal space. Specifically, the study will provide references for physicians to better understand substernal anatomy.
This is a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) measurement accuracy and reproducibility of DEFINITY® contrast-enhanced and unenhanced echocardiography as compared with non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) used as the truth standard.
An observational study of physical activity patterns in 150 older adults with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED)
Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents may lead to various cardio-vascular adverse reactions. This study investigates reports of cardio-vascular toxicities for treatment including Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification L (antineoplastic agents, endocrine therapy, immunostimulants, and immunosuppressants drugs) in the World Health Organization's (WHO) global database of individual safety case reports (VigiBase).
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) might have high grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs) from rhumatologic, endocrinologic, cardiac or other system origin. This study investigates reports of drug induced irAEs with treatment including anti-PD1, Anti-PDL-1, and Anti-CTLA4 classes using the World Health Organization (WHO) database VigiBase and the french database Base Nationale de PharmacoVigilance (BNPV).
The investigators plan to evaluate the correlation between carotid plaque enhancement on Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), significant coronary artery disease (CAD), and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in a systematic manner. The investigators hypothesize that increased levels of CEUS-detected vulnerable carotid plaque will be predictive of CV risk determined by angiography and future cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there are relationships between the salivary oxidative stress status of children with CHD directly dental caries including gender, age, salivary flow rate, salivary pH, salivary buffering capacity and drug intake such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. If such relationships exist, they might be employed to patient caries -prevention treatment.
