Filter by:Anginal symptoms due to ischaemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a common clinical problem, however, diagnosis and onward management is heterogeneous, and prognosis is affected. Recent advances in quantifying myocardial blood flow using stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has potential for accurate detection coronary microvascular dysfunction. The CorCMR diagnostic study involves stress perfusion CMR in patients with suspected INOCA to clarify the prevalence of subgroups of patients with underlying problems, such as microvascular disease or undisclosed obstructive coronary artery disease, that might explain their anginal symptoms. A nested, prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind trial will determine whether stratified medical therapy guided by the results of the stress perfusion CMR improves symptoms, well-being, cardiovascular risk and health and economic outcomes.
In this protocol, the investigators present methods and preliminary results from the PLATFORM-CVD Study, an EHR-based multicenter cohort. This study will focus on assessing the distribution of major cerebrovascular diseases, determining the risk factors associated with disease incidence and worse in-hospital outcomes, as well as describing the quality of care. Data from this cohort will be used to develop suitable prediction models for cerebrovascular diseases using real-world data and to understand how outcomes for cerebrovascular diseases would change with quality improvement interventions.
There is currently no prospective study analyzing the effect of tracheostomy with bedside simultaneous gastrostomy versus tracheostomy with delayed gastrostomy placement (TSG versus TDG) on the outcomes of neurocritically-ill patients. The investigators will study TSG via concomitant PDT and PUG procedures, while TDG will occur per usual care. This study is a prospective randomized open-label blinded endpoint study to assess the effect of tracheostomy with bedside simultaneous gastrostomy (TSG) versus the usual care of tracheostomy with delayed gastrostomy (TDG) placement on outcomes of neurocritically-ill patients.
objectives: The primary aim of APIXBRAIN-HF Trial is to explore the effects of apixaban on brain protection in patients with sinus rhythm and heart failure Primary / Secondary Endpoint 1. New occurrence of brain pathology 1) Cortical cerebral microinfarcts 2) Silent lacunar infarction 3)Progression of white matter hyperintensities 2. Secondary endpoint 1) The change of cognitive function evaluated by MMSE-2 2) Individual variable of primary endpoint 3. Safety Endpoint Evaluation 1) Cerebral microbleeds on imaging
Primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) is not common but is the most catastrophic subtype of intracerebral hemorrhage, with acute mortality between 30% and 60%. For severe PPH, defined as Glasgow Coma score (GCS) <8 and hematoma volumeā„5ml, the mortality rate is as high as 80-100%. Guidelines from the American Heart Association and European Stroke Organization do not make definite specifications. More than a century after Finkelnburg first explored the brainstem for hematoma, however, plenty of researches have shown surgery can save lives and improve the prognosis for selective patients and can be an effective and safe treatment. This study is proposed to validate the safety of surgical treatment in severe primary pontine hemorrhage.
This study is aimed to elucidate the factors affecting the remodeling process of arteriolosclerosis under current practice recommendations. Such knowledge may improve the understanding of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) mechanism, define pharmacological therapy and suggest treatment target.
EGb 761 has been demonstrated to be useful in improving cognitive and global clinical outcomes in patients with cognitive impairment or dementia, when administered at a daily dosage of 240mg in randomised controlled trials through several neuroprotective mechanisms of action. The study aims to determine the efficacy and safety profile of EGb 761 as a prescribed clinical drug for patients with MCI + CVD.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, prospective study to compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of intelligent and doctor groups for gait disorder screening. Clinical data, including demographic characteristics, socioeconomic level, medical history, assessment of neurological function, laboratory tests, imaging tests, health service utilization, and costs will be collected from the subjects. All subjects will be divided into an intelligent group and a doctor group according to a 1:1 ratio. The intelligent group will undergo intelligent system evaluation, and the doctor group will undergo the clinician's conventional treatment process. At the same time, all the subjects will undergo gold-standard panel gait and cognitive rating scale assessments.
This study is a multi-center prospective cohort study. We will continuously recruit subjects with silent cerebrovascular disease aged 60 to 85 years from Shanghai and Guizhou. Data including demographic characteristics, medical history, other concomitant diseases, neurological function assessments, laboratory examinations, imaging examinations, and other clinical data and health economics survey responses will be collected from all subjects. At baseline, all subjects will undergo gait assessment using the intelligent system and cognitive function scale assessment by clinicians. According to the intelligent gait results, the subjects will be divided into normal and abnormal gait groups. All subjects will be observed naturally for 1 year, and all medical behaviors will be recorded. All subjects will be interviewed by telephone for the occurrence of vascular events and changes in medical behaviors at half a year after enrollment and followed up at 1 year after enrollment, including gait evaluation using the intelligent system and cognitive function scale evaluation by clinicians. During the follow-up period, patients can visit the hospital for follow-up at any time when their condition changes.
Intracranial artery stenosis is an important cause of ischemic stroke, but the degree of intracranial artery stenosis is not completely matched with the symptoms of ischemic stroke. Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) refers to does not appear related neurological symptoms of carotid stenosis and stroke or transient ischemic attack of carotid stenosis, did not happen cerebrovascular events such as stroke, but there have been a different degree of cognitive impairment, be badly in need of development of noninvasive imaging methods, objective evaluation of the ACS group cognitive impairment, and predict the ACS risk of ischemic stroke. Therefore, this topic proposed comprehensive cognitive assessment, CTA, double modal MRI techniques, clinical and biochemical indicator detection, mathematical modeling and statistical analysis techniques, assess the ACS group and normal person the cognitive ability, the difference of NVC and local perfusion, and follow-up ACS crowd of ischemic stroke and other cardiovascular events, discuss ACS and cognitive impairment, the correlation of NVC and local perfusion abnormalities, screening of radiographic predictor of ischemic stroke, and in the follow-up of ACS population in testing the sensitivity of the series of indicators and specific degrees.
