Filter by:Echocardiography parameters for cardiac dyssynchrony had no predictive value in current multicentric prospective studies concerning cardiac resynchronization therapy. Comprehensive echocardiography and new parameters as 2D and 3D strain, as well as 3D echo have been analyzed, but their definite value has not been proven yet.
The purpose of this study is to obtain observational data allowing for the preliminary assessment of the utility of a noninvasive physiologic monitor for monitoring of patients with congestive heart failure.
Association between serum magnesium and clinical outcome in patients with acute MI (AMI) with 1 year follow-up in 300 patients in regions supplied by desalinated drinking water (DSW) (Sheba MC) and 150 patients in regions with non-desalinated drinking water (DW) (Nahariya MC).
The purpose of this study is to investigate if "optimal electrical resynchronization" achieved by targeting left ventricular lead placement to the myocardial region with the latest electrical activation combined with post-implant pacemakersettings for narrowing the paced QRS width causes an excess improvement in the pumping function of the heart (the left ventricular ejection fraction) in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the patient characteristics, selection of treatment, and factors associated with clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with acutely decompensated congestive heart failure.
Sleep apnea, characterized by abnormal breathing at night, is often untreated in patients with heart failure. Helping patients to effectively use the most common form of treatment for sleep apnea, positive airway pressure therapy, can improve their heart function. This can reduce the likelihood that the patient will be re-admitted to the hospital. AirCareLabs has developed an innovative solution that allows patients to communicate with health care providers 24 hours a day, thus allowing them to get the help they need to effectively use positive airway pressure and thereby reduce the risk of being re-admitted to the hospital.
The investigators would evaluate the effects of the novel method, HTEA on cardiac function in the heart failure patients secondary to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and post-myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether high flow nasal cannula is effective in lowering the reintubation rate after extubation for high risk patients in medical intensive care unit
Purpose :Research into the impact of Qiliqiangxin capsule on IFN-γ，IL-4，NT-proBNP in dilated cardiomyopathy patients with heart failure. Methods :Data were collected from the patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy ( cardiac function NYHA Ⅱ-Ⅳ) in the first affiliated hospital of Harbin Medical University from May 2012 to April 2014. These 30 cases were treated under the recommendations of normal diagnosis and treatment in cardiomyopathy. This experiment was randomized double-blinded，the experimental interferences were avoided and patients were divided into the experimental group and the placebo group. The patients in experimental group received the relevant tests and inspections before the beginning of experiment，signed the informed consent. Then the investigators get the venous blood centrifugalization and cryopreservation. The patients take the medicine qiliqiangxin three times per day，four tablets at a time. Afrer a month，the investigators evaluated the symptoms，the function of heart，blood pressure，heart rate and keep blood specimens. Three and six month later，electrocardiogram and echocardiography were taken and the determination of the NT - proBNP was done. The placebo group was followed up in the same way.
The purpose of the CardioMEMS HF System Post Approval Study (PAS) is to evaluate the use of the CardioMEMS HF System in patients with NYHA class III heart failure in a commercial setting.
