The present study will investigate a set of biomedical sensors with a wireless data communication system and evaluate the sensors' recording quality. The sensors and wearable wireless system have been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for recording Electrocardiography (ECG), Trans Thoracic Impedance (TTI), Heart Sounds and Acitigraphy. The sensors and wireless system will be used along with conventional sensor systems (as intended to be used).
This study will conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a culturally tailored version of the NYU Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI) plus enhanced support (ES) through online chat groups (the NYUCI plus WeChat/Kakaotalk [population social media app for Chinese/Korean] peer support which we call the NYUCI-ES in reducing health risks for cardiometabolic disease among older Chinese and Korean American adults caring for relatives with ADRD. In collaboration with community organizations across the New York and northern New Jersey metropolitan area, we will enroll 300 caregivers of people with ADRD (150 Chinese and 150 Korean) in this study. Aim 1: Develop culturally adapted informational and educational materials about dementia and caregiving issues for social service providers of the intervention and for family caregivers. Aim 2: Test the hypothesis, H1: A counseling and support intervention (the NYUCI-ES) will significantly improve psychosocial factors such as depression, stress self-rated health and chronic disease management among Chinese and Korean-American ADRD caregivers and these changes will be mediated by improvement in social support. H1a: By the first (6- month) follow-up, the mediators (increases in social support, stress reaction) will improve significantly in the intervention group compared to baseline values and the control group. H1b: These improvements will be maintained, and lead to reduction in depressive symptoms, and improvement in self-reported health and chronic disease self-management by the 12-month follow-up compared to the control group. Aim 3: Test the hypothesis, H2: the NYUCI-ES will reduce biologic risk factors, including metabolic health (glycosylated hemoglobin) and inflammation (Oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, etc.) within 6 months of enrollment compared to baseline and a control group; these changes will be mediated through increases in social support and decreases in depressive symptoms and will be maintained at the 12-month follow-up. The public health significance of these findings will likely have an impact on health care policy for CGs from diverse underserved ethnic and cultural backgrounds, potentially reducing morbidity, and improving their quality of life.
The study aim is to test the diagnostic performance of internists interpreting echo images aided by the AISAP CARDIO V0.7 diagnostic support system. Ground truth will be established by an interpretation by cardiologists specialized in echo, of the same POCUS images (acquired by the internist \ sonographer ). Up to 1000 subjects; Study population will be distributed according to the following schema: Group 1 -up to 800 patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine division Group 2 - up to 200 patients hospitalized in the acute Geriatric division
Aim: to evaluate the effect of muscle strengthening exercise training in adults with Fontan circulation compared to healthy controls. Hypothesis: adults with Fontan circulation have a relatively lower effect of muscle strengthening exercise training compared to healthy controls.
The Bronx-Valve Registry is designed to collect and assess data on all patients with valvular diseases referred to Montefiore Medical Center for echocardiographic exams.
Automatic oxygen supply with the O2matic device has been shown to provided an enhanced oxygen treatment in patients with hypoxemia. O2matic was significantly better than manual control to maintain oxygen saturation within target interval and to reduce time with unintended hypoxemia in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This trial investigates the effect of using O2matic in hypoxic patients submitted to the Department of Cardiology.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abluminal biodegradable polymer ultrathin sirolimus-eluting stent (Genoss stent) as compared with a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience stent) in patients with coronary artery disease.
Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal beating of the heart that can lead to stroke or heart failure. Structural heart diseases are conditions that affect the heart valves or heart muscle and can cause permanent heart damage if left untreated. Sometimes people have atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease and do not know it. The purpose of this study is to evaluate two devices that can predict who has or may develop atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease based on the results of an electrocardiogram.
NPs can be used To detect subset of asymptomatic with subtle LV dysfunction for further evaluation and earlier referral for intervention and its correlation with echocardiographic finding.
