Filter by:Valvular heart diseases (VHD) are the most common causes of mortality and morbidity after coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure, especially in senile patients who have more comorbidities and often require intervention. The prevalence of senile VHD is increased gradually as the growth of the age. In addition important changes have occurred as regards the presentation and treatment of the disease over recent years. However, there is little information about senile VHD in China. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the clinical characteristics, reasons for hospitalization, risk stratification, treatment modalities, quality of life and outcomes of senile hospitalized patients with VHD, to determine the risk factors affecting the prognosis, further to lay the foundation for establishing a prognosis model suitable for Chinese senile VHD.
The purpose of this study is to identify markers of increased risk for incident ventricular arrhythmias and cardiovascular events in patients already being treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) by exploring patient history and clinical findings, biological markers, ECG markers, and echocardiographic markers.
This is a study of the perfusion of the myocardium in adults with specific forms of repaired congenital heart disease using established cardiac MRI techniques and correlating perfusion with clinical outcomes.
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
The purpose of this initiative is to improve care and outcomes for infants with HLHS by expanding the NPC-QIC national registry to gather clinical care process, outcome, and developmental data on infants with HLHS between diagnosis and 12 months of age, by improving the use of standards into everyday practice across pediatric cardiology centers, and by engaging parents as partners in the process.
The purpose of this study is to test the expression of microRNAs related to the syndromes after the intervention of Tongguan capsule,preliminarily to investigate the mechanism of the effects of Tongguan capsule, and provide the biological foundation of curative effect of Tongguan capsule.
It is known that laughter can bring benefits in terms of physiological and psychological parameters, in addition to improving the individual's quality of life. However, the literature is still scarce as to the existence of studies investigating the effects of a comedy film specifically in hemodynamics.
