Filter by:A multicenter observational retrospective-prospective study of prevalence and clinical characteristics of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) cardiomyopathy (CM) in Russian patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in real clinical practice. The retrospective phase will entail secondary data collection from electronic or paper medical records of patients who are participating/participated in the PRIORITY-CHF study and have HFpEF. Those patients who have a high suspicion of having ATTR-CM and provided informed consent will be invited to participate in the prospective phase. The prospective phase will consist of three visits, during which a routine comprehensive cardiologic evaluation in order to confirm or exclude ATTR-CM diagnosis will be performed. In patients with confirmed ATTR-CM the material for genetic testing will be collected in order to specify the type of ATTR-amyloidosis
The investigators of this registry aim to study the natural history, clinical presentation, characteristics, and imaging findings of patients diagnosed with ATTR amyloidosis in Thailand longitudinally. This will enable the investigators to study this disease in depth. With a better understanding, the investigators can aim to develop early screening programs for at-risk patients, raising awareness among non-cardiologists. As amyloid-specific therapies have now become available in Thailand, the findings of this registry can be helpful for epidemiological studies in Thailand.
The purpose of this observational, retrospective, physician survey study is to describe the real-world effectiveness and use of mavacamten in participants who initiated treatment for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) in Canada.
To handle daily life challenges, one needs to be psychologically resilient. It plays a crucial role in disease development, prognosis, as well as social, occupational, and community participation. Cardiovascular diseases cause physical and psychological stress, which can be linked to individual resilience and the development of such diseases. Stress can trigger TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy and acute coronary events. Individuals who have experienced TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or an acute coronary event often feel stressed due to emotional or physical triggers. These triggers may include job loss or illness. In medical rehabilitation, therapists consider the individual circumstances of their patients when planning therapy. It may be important to add a special focus on psychological care, including building resilience, which could greatly benefit these individuals. Therefore, the study aims to investigate whether resilience training, as part of an inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, affects the individual resilience of rehabilitants with TakoTsubo cardiomyopathy or those who have experienced an acute coronary event.
This is an interventional study for patients who had developed Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity (AIC) during or after anthracycline-containing therapy, referred to the Cardioncology Unit for heart failure treatment
This study is being done to improve image quality and provide the collaborator with feedback on wide band imaging in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED).
The goal of this study is to develop an algorithm using artificial intelligence (AI) to assist identification of potential ATTR-CM cases using routine transthoracic echocardiography. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is the algorithm able to diagnose ATTR-CM - is the algorithm able to diagnose different types of ATTR-CM (ATTRv, ATTRwt) This is a non interventional study. Participant' echocardiographies will be, after deidentification, used to train, valid and test the algorithm.
The aim of this multicenter prospective observational pilot study is to describe the evolution of myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation (LT). Through multimodal analysis of myocardial function and architecture, and analysis of specific markers of inflammation, we aim to explore the following hypotheses: 1) systemic inflammation promotes myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients and could be an early marker of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy; 2) LT allows resolution of myocardial fibrosis by preventing the bacterial translocation that favors the development of deleterious systemic inflammation.
the investigators included 98 patients admitted for sepsis and septic shock (68.4% men, 31.6% women) with an average age of 60.42 years ± 15.13, ranging from 21 to 96 years. The average length of hospital stay was 7.53 days. The most noted medical histories were diabetes (38.8%), hypertension (28.6%), and renal insufficiency (17.1%). Regarding laboratory findings: the mean white blood cell count was 15,985.16 cells/mm³, the mean C-reactive protein (CRP) level was 227.69 mg/L, and the mean procalcitonin level was 50.43 µg/L. In terms of blood gas analysis: the mean lactate level was 3.67 mmol/L, and the mean PCO2 gap (DELTAPCO2) was 4.85. All our patients were continuously monitored by pulse wave analysis: the mean cardiac output was 5.69 L/min, and the mean cardiac index was 4.14 L/s/m² All our patients underwent an echocardiogram, which is a routine examination in our department and is performed at the patient's bedside. The average left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 51.73%, and the average subaortic peak velocity (ITV) was 14.66 cm. Subsequently. the investigators examined the clinical and paraclinical profile of patients with septic cardiomyopathy. the investigators identified 19 patients with this condition, while 79 patients did not exhibit cardiac involvement. The percentage was significantly higher in the population with cardiac involvement, accounting for 28.3%. Among the patients with cardiac involvement, 76.5% had a PCO2 gap (DELTAPCO2) ≥ 6 mmHg, a significantly reduced cardiac output with an average of 3.3 L/min, and a predominantly low cardiac index, with 64.3% having an index < 2.2 L/min/m². The mortality rate was significantly increased at 73.7%.
This clinical study examines patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and no significant coronary artery disease on coronary angiography (MINOCA) and patients with MINOCA-mimics with advanced CMR. The present study aims to: - assess the microvascular function with a novel quantitative 3D myocardial perfusion imaging approach in the acute phase and post-convalescence - refine the role and diagnostic potential of advanced quantitative CMR imaging - assess the potential prognostic significance of microvascular dysfunction and epicardial adipose tissue on cardiovascular outcomes Participants will undergo advanced CMR imaging in the acute setting (within 10 days after event) and post convalescence (after 3 months).
