Filter by:After an acute coronary syndrome, an adapted cardiac rehabilitation program is necessary to restore or increase physical capacities and decrease cardiovascular risk. This multidisciplinary care combines physical training sessions and therapeutic education workshops. The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictions such as the closure of rehabilitation centres. To remedy this problem, one solution was to adapt the existing program to a remote cardiac telerehabilitation, i.e., medical and paramedical supervision of rehabilitation sessions and therapeutic patient education meetings via digital tools. Recent studies have shown that it was a safe (no reported adverse effects), effective (similar gains in peak oxygen consumption compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation and patient-adherence alternative.
The goal of this observational study is to study the non obstructive type of ischemic heart disease by identifying unique clinical features , frequency and age group .in patient admitted in coronary care unit , suffered from angina or heart attack. . The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - how it different from classical type of ischemic heart disease ( obstructive coronary artery disease) - what is frequency and age prevalence of these patient Participants evaluated by history , clinical examination, serum troponin and coronary angiography.
At least 25 volunteers with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease in the Department of Cardiology of Dokuz Eylul University and who meet the criteria for follow-up and inclusion will participate in the study. Demographic and clinical information of the participants will be questioned. Active video games and exercise sessions will be randomized to last 25 minutes. Before and after the sessions, heart rate, blood pressure, shortness of breath, oxygen saturation and arterial stiffness will be measured. In addition, energy expenditure, heart rate, perceived exertion, shortness of breath and oxygen saturation will be recorded during the sessions. At the end of the sessions, the person will be asked if they enjoy active video games.
The study is planned to be conducted as a two-group randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of lavender inhalation on individuals with coronary heart disease. Research data will be collected at Çukurova University Medical Faculty Balcalı Hospital Cardiology Clinic between January-June 2023. In the study, at least 56 samples were found to be sufficient for the sample size. The data of the study will be collected using the Personal Information Form and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index.
Aim of the clinical monocentric study is to assess the resistance training exercise intervention in patients with Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and coronary artery disease that will best improve peak oxygen uptake (Peak Vo2) and leg strength (assessed Isokinetic). The investigators hypothesize that resistance training exercise with induced a high stress metabolic is more important exercise with induced than a lower stress metabolic.
Abstract Cardiac surgery in adults is associated with the occurrence of post-operative complications. Even minor complications can increase the cost of their treatment. Given the potentially preventable nature of a number of these postoperative complications, preventive methods should be used to improve outcomes after cardiac surgery. One of them, is the choice of anaesthetic technique. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane, isoflurane and propofol on blood oxygen transport function and body energy expenditure during cardiac surgery in adults. Materials and methods. A total of 90 patients were included in the study. All patients were divided into 3 groups: 1- (n=30) included patients who were anesthetized with propofol. The second group (n=30) consisted of patients who underwent sevoflurane inhalation anaesthesia. Group 3 (n=30) was treated with isoflurane. All patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Conventionally, long-axis in-plane (LA-IP), short-axis out-of-plane (SA-OOP) and dynamic needle tip positioning based on SA-OOP views are commonly used method to image the target vessel during cannulation under US guidance. A modified SA-OOP that add developing line on the ultrasonic probe improve the success rate of cannula insertion into the radial artery on the first attempt.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a standard treatment strategy for coronary artery disease (CAD). With the presence of myocardial ischemia, PCI reduces the risks of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and revascularization compared to medical therapy. However, the risk of future clinical events remains high, and about 10% of patients experienced further cardiovascular events after PCI. Several factors are associated with these poor outcomes. Well-known patient-related risk factors are diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, left ventricular dysfunction, previous MI, and presentation with acute coronary syndrome. Procedure-related factors, such as stent under expansion, malposition, edge dissection, the number of the used stent, and total stent length, are also related to poor prognosis after PCI. Recent studies reported that fractional flow reserve (FFR) after coronary stenting, or post-PCI FFR, was associated with future clinical outcomes after PCI, and low post-PCI FFR value was associated with procedural factors. However, optimal cut-off values of post-PCI FFR ranged widely, from 0.86 to 0.96, and some studies reported the limited prognostic value of post-PCI FFR. This might result from differences in study populations, the definition of outcomes, type of stent used, and distribution of included vessels among previous studies. Previously, the investigators incorporated previous data into the International Post-PCI FFR registry and demonstrated the prognostic value of post-PCI FFR using the machine learning technique. However, the results were based on the two years follow-up of patients after PCI, and the prognostic value of post-PCI FFR in long-term outcomes is still uncertain. Therefore, the investigators planned to extend the International Post-PCI FFR registry to define the long-term prognostic implication of post-PCI FFR.
Background and aims: One of the investigated possible modulators of serum fetuin-A, associated with the risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD), is omega-3 fatty acids (FAs). This study aims to evaluate the effects of omega-3 FA supplementation on serum fetuin-A concentration in patients with CAD. Methods: The study was carried out on 34 male volunteer patients aged 35-75 years, newly diagnosed with CAD by conventional coronary angiography. Patients with CAD were divided into the "Omega-3 Group (n:16)" and "Control Group (n:18)". Low-fat diet principles were explained to both groups at baseline. While 1.560 mg/day omega-3 FA supplementation was given to the patients in the omega-3 group for eight weeks, but not in the control group. Food intake was recorded using six-day food records.
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide (Nowbar et al., 2019). Exercise has been shown to be effective in preventing repeat heart attacks, hospitalizations and death among heart attack survivors (Lawler et al., 2011). But, few heart attack survivors -- particularly women -- get the recommended amount of physical activity (Minges et al., 2017; Gorczyca et al., 2017). The goal of this pilot study is to test the potential of an innovative new doctor-led exercise program to improve physical activity and quality of life for women who have had heart attacks in the past. Women who take part in the study will be randomly assigned to participation in the exercise program (which will consist of three 45-minute exercise sessions on Zoom per week) or usual care (attending medical appointments and following doctors' recommendations). All participants will be asked to wear Fitbit activity trackers to track steps every day, to use blood pressure cuffs to measure blood pressure at home, and complete a brief set of surveys at the beginning of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks.
