Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to demonstrate the ability of using non-invasive Phosphorus (31P) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor changes of in-vivo markers of mitochondrial function in skeletal and cardiac muscles in muscles in large B- or T-cell lymphoma patients during treatment with (R-)CHOP. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can 31P-MRS be used to monitor changes of in vivo markers of mitochondrial function in skeletal and cardiac muscles in large B- or T-cell lymphoma patients during treatment with (R-)CHOP? To be able to answer this main question, participants will undergo 31P-MRS imaging of the calf muscles and of the heart 3 times during the study period.
To compare between the effect of circuit weight and aerobic training on selected cardiovascular indices and functional capacity in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
This study will demonstrate the beneficial effects of ketone bodies in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients and will have significant translational applications to prevent serious metabolic conditions such as T1D induced diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).
This study aims to identify novel inflammatory biomarkers in AC, whether in circulating blood, in situ or as imaging biomarkers to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease and then to determine contribution to the clinical management of patients.
To study the outcome of the cardiac function, and clinical status of the patiants with cardiomyopathy who are admitted in the I.C.U.
Atrial The treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) includes 2 axes: the prevention of the cardio-embolic risk and rhythm control. The possibilities for this control are antiarrhythmic drugs and, above all, catheter ablation, an interventional cardiology technique which consists in treating the areas responsible for the initiation and perpetuation of AF by applying radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy to the myocardial tissue. Limited research has been done on the combination of different parameters to manage AF, especially during the initial stage of the disease. A translational and multimodal approach could make it possible to better characterize this pathology and thus, help to adjust the therapeutic management for the patients. The combined analysis of regional electrophysiological, morphological, and functional parameters of the left atrium could make it possible to better detect early atrial cardiomyopathy and predict recurrences of atrial fibrillation.
Status of the research project: The main complications of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies (AC) are sudden death, more rarely heart failure. Recently, data are emerging in favor of an associated role of myocardial inflammation and myocarditis in this pathology, but the impact of inflammation on the presentation and prognosis of the cardiomyopathy, as well as its mechanisms, are not clearly elucidated. To date, endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard for documenting myocardial inflammation. Aim of the research: To evaluate the interest of a new hybrid PET-MR imaging tool for tissue and metabolic characterization of AC associating MRI and 18F-FDG PET, already used in inflammatory pathologies (cardiac sarcoidosis). Project description: Multicentric observational study of 80 patients with genetic AC undergoing PET-MR. Description of the observed profiles and their impact on the phenotype of the cardiomyopathy and its evolution, study of associated immunological mechanisms, correlation with available anatomopathological data. Expected results and perspectives: first non-invasive description of tissue and metabolic phenotype of AC by PET-MR imaging and its prognostic role, basis for pathophysiological and therapeutic research in case of confirmation of the performances of this imaging for the detection of myocardial inflammation.
This is a single-center, double-arm, open-label, randomized feasibility study that will determine whether a novel clinical decision aid accessed via the electronic health record will be acceptable to both cancer survivors and their cardiologists, will favorably impact appropriate medication use and cardiac imaging surveillance, and will improve clinician and patient decision-making, perception, and behavior towards cardioprotective medication usage and cardiovascular disease imaging utilization.
The study aiming to demonstrate the baseline characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing revascularization by PCI vs those kept only on medical treatment, based on CMR viability assessment.
The aim of this study is to detect effect of allopurinol supplementation in pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
