Filter by:Based on clinical experience both physical condition and psychological recovery after surgery are individually variable. Exercise training plays an important part, has been recommended for CABS patients in order to enhance recovery. Regular exercise following CABS has shown that, in addition to the expected improvements in exercise capacity as a result of the surgery itself, patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation can expect to see additional gains in exercise capacity and risk factor profiles. Exercise training also increases personal self-esteem and self-confidence, can alleviate depression and fear, and increase the sense of well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of supervised aerobic exercise training on pulmonary function, functional capacity, maximal exercise capacity, and anxiety in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Preventing pre-surgical stress can help patients achieve positive outcomes on health and well-being. However, very few patients receive adequate stress relief support prior to a surgical procedure. Provision of education and information about the surgery can be a crucial component of the preoperative experience and is inversely related to levels of preoperative anxiety. However, resource constraints make face-to-face education sessions untenable, given cost considerations and time investment by trained health personnel. Interventions based on mobile health (mHealth) technologies, geared towards increasing familiarity with surgical procedures and hospital environments have been shown to help patients feel informed about possible benefits and risks of available treatment options. mHealth apps and Virtual Reality (VR) can offer patients experience in the perioperative environment that can be helpful in empowering patients and enhancing a more positive experience, while reducing stress. However, available applications focus only on providing informative content, neglecting the importance of patient empowerment with a more robust educational curriculum. According to this, the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) CARINAE, aims to support patients and caregivers during the whole perioperative process. SaMD CARINAE consists of an mHealth mobile application for patients and caregivers, a Virtual Reality headset for patients, and a web application for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND Right ventricular dysfunction is a common echocardiographic finding after cardiac surgery. Pericardial disruption has been suggested as the most probable cause as the phenomenon occurs within minutes after pericardial incision. The investigators suspect that validated two-dimensional echocardiographic measures for right ventricular function might not reflect the altered RV contraction pattern including paradoxical interventricular septal motion and reduced long-axis function following open cardiac surgery. The present study aims to determine the prevalence and scale of right ventricular dysfunction two years after CABG by applying the latest available two- and three-dimensional echocardiographic technology in right ventricular evaluation. In addition, the investigators investigate the impact of right ventricular dysfunction on functional outcome. METHODS The Right-Heart-Study is an observational substudy of the SWEDEGRAFT trial at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. SWEDEGRAFT is a nordic, multicenter, prospective, randomized, register-based, clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03501303; Ragnarsson 2020). Patients for the current Right-Heart-Substudy will be recruited amongst the 269 patients included in the SWEDEGRAFT trial at Aarhus University Hospital from 10 September 2018 to 25 May 2020. Patients are enrolled at the time of SWEDEGRAFT follow-up with cardiac-CT (approximately 30 months after CABG). After written informed consent, we perform additional full 2D and 3D echocardiography with special focus on RV function, collect patient-reported data on functional outcome, and measure brain natriuretic peptide and hemoglobin levels.
This randomized, multi-center, prospective study seeks to compare the conventional invasive Coronary Angiography with the recently described method of performing CT-Coronary Angiography prior to the invasive Coronary Angiography, in post - CABG patients subjected to coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention.
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a condition known to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its role as promoter of atherosclerosis is well stablished. The revascularization surgery is commonly indicated to patients with multivessel coronary disease and kidney injury is a prevalent complication in post operation. This work aims to evaluate the impact of a strategy to control Diabetes Mellitus using inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters (ISGLT2) in diabetics patients with assigned myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass
This is a multi-center, open label, single group, observational study designed to evaluate the effects of a Cardioplexol™ preparation and administration training program proposed to cardiac surgeons and cardiotechnicians inexperienced in the use of Cardioplexol™. The training program aims at increasing the efficacy of Cardioplexol administration while reducing the risk of false manipulations. During the training possible risks and consequences of incorrect applications as well as the measures to take in case of administration error, are discussed. The training program includes one standardized theoretical part and one practical part consisting of a direct intra-operative coaching of surgeons practicing their first 2 operations. The effect of the training will then be assessed by evaluating each trained surgeon's 4 next consecutive patients operated with Cardioplexol and without the coach.
Objective of the study is to clarify humanin-like peptide concentration in myocard tissue and in blood and to study if its concentration level is related to early complication occurrence and frequency after cardiac operation. Hypothesis of the study is that previously described elements are related to each other.
The objective of this study is to investigate the value of employing the aortic no-touch off-pump coronary artery bypass technique and the practice of carbon dioxide surgical field flooding for the prevention of type 1 and 2 neurological injuries following surgical coronary revascularization.
The aim of GLUTAMICS II is to evaluate whether intravenous glutamate infusion surgery reduces the risk of postoperative heart failure as measured by plasma NT-proBNP in patients undergoing moderate to high-risk coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients accepted for coronary artery bypass surgery of at least two vessel disease or left main stenosis with or without concomitant procedure and considered to be at moderate to high surgical risk preoperatively with regard to postoperative heart failure will be studied. The primary endpoint is postoperative increase of NT-proBNP from the day before surgery to the third postoperative day.
This is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients with stable angina pectoris without use of dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation therapy scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden will be eligible. This study investigates in patients having undergone CABG whether increasing the dose or the frequency of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment improves the efficacy of ASA regarding platelet inhibition compared to the standard dosing for cardiovascular prevention (75 mg once daily) in the first three months after surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to postoperative ASA dose 75mg once daily, 75mg twice daily or 160 mg once daily. The study dose ASA will be started at hospital discharge and continued of three months. Blood samples for serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and other analyses will be taken before surgery, before discharge, and after one and three months. All available data will be collected prospectively. Informed consent will be obtained from patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.
