Filter by:The objective of this observational study is to provide basic data for predicting and analyzing the occurrence and causes of delayed cognitive impairment, an important factor in the quality of life, among discharged patients who have received targeted temperature management therapy and experienced favorable neurological outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can we identify abnormal areas in the brains of patients with delayed cognitive impairment using Brain MRI or positron emission tomography (PET) imaging? - Is it possible to predict delayed cognitive impairment using biomarkers?
This international, multicenter cohort study aims to investigate outcomes after treatment with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) during cardiac arrest.
The study aims to investigate bystanders' emotional stress state in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) emergency calls and the association with the quality of dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR).
RACE-CARS is a real-world cluster-randomized trial designed to evaluate a multifaceted community and health systems intervention aimed to improve outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. RACE-CARS will enroll 50 counties in North Carolina that are estimated to have a total of approximately 20,000 patients with cardiac arrest over a 4-year intervention period. County "clusters" will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to intervention versus usual care. The trial duration is 7 years, which includes a 6-month start-up (including recruitment and randomization) period, a 12-month intervention training phase, a 4-year intervention period, a 12-month follow-up for to assess quality of life in survivors of OHCA, and a 6-month close-out and data analysis period.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with (increased risk of) ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) and sudden cardiac arrest, and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Moreover, clinical data of subjects will be gathered. By combining the data from the data gathering and the results of ECGI, the investigators hope to increase mechanistic understanding of and risk stratification for VTAs. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients at risk of an arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
The Hearts in Rhythm Organization (HiRO) is a national network of Canadian researchers/clinicians, working towards a better understanding of the rare genetic causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Canadian adult and pediatric electrophysiology centres across Canada work together to gather data and bio sample in a national data registry and bio bank hoping to improve the detection and treatment of inherited heart rhythm disorders to prevent sudden death.
Compare the performance of the Reconfirmation Analysis Mode algorithm to the performance goals recommended by the American Heart Association.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with unexplained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or ventricular fibrillation (VF), in patients with specific genetic mutations regarding sudden cardiac death or sudden cardiac arrest, in their family members and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Also a National Dutch registry for patients with unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF and their family members will be created. By combining the data from the registry and the results of ECGI, The investigators hope to identity risk markers for patients at higher risk for apparently idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and use these for an adapted flow chart for the 'general'population of patients at risk for unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients before the first arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Neu2000KWL, a neuroprotectant, in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receiving therapeutic hypothermia.
By comparing the clinical outcome of patients underwent different hypothermic circulatory arrest (mild hypothermic versus moderate hypothermic) during aortic arch surgery, this study aims to determine the optimal hypothermic circulatory arrest strategy for aortic surgery.
