Filter by:Left bundle branch block (LBBB) exists in about 25% of patients with congestive heart failure and is associated with worsened prognosis. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been one of the most important advancements in the past two decades for patients with LBBB heart failure. However, 30-40% of patients receiving a CRT do not benefit from it. In this study, the investigators will test a noninvasive device to evaluate acute effect of CRT during implantation and at follow-up CRT controls. In addition, echocardiography will be performed during CRT turned ON and OFF to visualize the changes in intraventricular flow and functional parameters of the heart.
The goal of this pragmatic randomized clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a hybrid model of cardiac rehabilitation with a centre-based program in people with cardiovascular disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • How effective is a hybrid model of CR for people with cardiovascular disease living in a francophone minority community compared to a centre-based model of CR in terms of leading to maintenance of gains (physical activity level, functional capacity, mental health, quality of life) six months after CR? Participants will undergo a 12-week hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program. For the first six weeks, patients will be required to attend the hospital twice a week. After that, there will be a gradual increase in home sessions for the remaining six weeks. When a patient has a home session, health professionals will follow up with a weekly phone call. Researchers will compare the centre-based cardiac rehabilitation program with the hybrid program to see if the hybrid program can better maintain the level of physical activity, mental health, functional capacity, and quality of life six months after the end of the program.
To develop a novel, proactive cardiac rehabilitation program for breast cancer survivors at enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. Considering this program is secondary to the Michigan Medicine Cardiac Rehabilitation program's goal to manage cardiac patients, the hybrid program has been designed that limits utilization of cardiac rehabilitation to 12 visits over the first eight weeks of the intervention compared to 32 visits for cardiovascular patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of fibroblast activating protein receptor imaging agent [68Ga]/ Fluorine [18F] -fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (68Ga/18F-FAPI-04) in clinical application and to verify its effectiveness in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
This study investigates the feasibility of an app based intervention, which uses questionnaires and personalized motivational messages to achieve change in physical activity and sedentary behaviour of cardiovascular patients. The questionnaires and messages are based on behaviour change theories, such as the transtheoretical model. The intervention will take place over eight weeks. One week before and during the last week, physical activity will be measured via accelerometers. A comprehensive questionnaire will be given before and at the end of the intervention and Feasibility measures will be evaluated at the end as well, including an optional qualitative interview with the participants.
Strong Teens for Healthy Schools (STHS) is a school-based, civic engagement program that empowers middle school students to improve their physical activity and healthy eating behaviors, improve their cardiovascular disease outcomes, and create positive change in their school health environments.
Sleep difficulties are common following stroke yet effective evidence-based interventions for improving sleep in this population are lacking. A small number of studies have investigated the use of music listening as a way to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. This study aims to examine whether a mindful music-listening intervention can reduce subjective and objective insomnia symptoms and improve mood and fatigue post-stroke. Six adults with a clinical diagnosis of stroke presenting with an insomnia disorder will be recruited from stroke services within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. A multiple baseline single case experimental design will be employed. Participants will be randomly allocated to a baseline phase of 7, 11 or 15 days, followed by a five-week mindful music-listening intervention incorporating sleep hygiene. Changes in subjective and objective sleep will be measured using questionnaires and actigraphy, respectively. Mood and fatigue will also be measured. The data will be analysed using visual inspection, Tau-U and multi-level modelling.
A qualitative study conducted in 2018 Exploring socio-cultural factors impacting adherence to type 2 diabetes therapy in rural Sargodha featured respondents who were primarily doctors, patients, and. Diet, exercise, and smoking were all variables. The void we investigators will fill will be comprised of several professionals assessing sleep and sedentary lifestyle. A book on anthropology published in 2021 shows the gap are still the same about sedentary life style. The investigators aim to determine lifestyle practices in relation to sedentary behaviour in different occupations & comparing which profession is prone to chronic diseases in accordance to lifestyle practices
The use of telerehabilitation seems to be effective in managing complications after suffering a cardiovascular pathology. The use of the CardioSafe+ digital platform is suggested for the management of these complications. For this reason, an intervention will be carried out to determine the effectiveness of this platform. A total of 60 participants will be recruited to carry out a home-exercise intervention through CardioSafe+ for 6 weeks. Maximun respiratory pressures, exertion capacity, and subjective sensation of exertion will be assessed.
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two strategies for closing large caliber venous access in patients undergoing percutaneous procedures: compression with figure-of-8 suture versus closure with the Perclose-Proglide system.
