Filter by:Primary Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing in improving symptoms of constipation, anxiety, sleep quality, and overall quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and constipation. Study Phase: As this research involves a non-pharmacological intervention, it is categorized as Not Applicable (N/A). Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment. Patients are divided into two groups; one receives standard care, while the other receives standard care supplemented by the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing. Number of Arms: Two arms are involved in the study. One arm serves as the control group receiving standard care, and the other as the experimental group receiving standard care plus the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing. Masking: This study employed a double-blind (assessors and statisticians), randomized, parallel-controlled trial design to enhance the credibility of the results and to minimize bias. Allocation: Using simple random sampling, small folded papers marked with the numbers "1" and "2" were placed in an opaque box. Each patient drew a paper in sequence of enrollment; those drawing a "1" were assigned to the control group, and those drawing a "2" to the experimental group, with each group comprising 35 participants. Enrollment: A total of 70 patients were initially recruited, with 67 completing the study. The control group had one participant drop out due to early hospital discharge related to the pandemic, affecting data collection completeness. In the experimental group, one participant was excluded due to undergoing colonoscopy and taking related laxative medications during the treatment, and another due to early hospital discharge caused by the pandemic. Thus, data from three participants were excluded from the final analysis due to insufficient treatment duration (less than two-thirds of the planned intervention), resulting in 34 participants in the control group and 33 in the experimental group being analyzed, equating to a dropout rate of approximately 4.3%, which is within acceptable statistical limits. Study Classification: This study focuses on efficacy assessment. It particularly evaluates the effectiveness of the Yannianjiuzhuan method combined with reverse abdominal breathing in alleviating symptoms of constipation, anxiety, improving sleep quality, and enhancing the quality of life among elderly patients with coronary heart disease and constipation.
A phase III study designed as a randomized, within-patient comparison of continuous infusion of diluted Lumason® versus the bolus administration of undiluted Lumason® for degree of LVO and assessment of LV EBD (co-primary endpoints).
This study explores the effect of Internet based improved Baduanjin combined cross-theoretical model in family empowering cardiac rehabilitation for elderly patients with coronary heart disease after PCI, provides a scientific and reasonable case management plan for the rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease, and provides a reference for the development of scientific and refined cardiac rehabilitation case management suitable for elderly patients with PCI.
Clinical performance of the device will be evaluated in a fully-crossed, multiple-reader multiple-case (MRMC) study. This study will be used to determine the impact of the device on reader performance in identifying suspicious radiographic findings in fetal heart ultrasound video clips recorded during 2nd trimester anatomic ultrasound examinations conducted during the second trimester of the pregnancy.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intracardiac ultrasound imaging system in Sonosemi Medical Co., Ltd.
Valves will be taken from hearts donated by organ donors, and implanted into patients who need a new heart valve.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with a non-inferiority design. Participants are patients scheduled for atrial septal puncture. After signing informed consent, subjects will be randomly assigned to either the radiofrequency transseptal puncture system group (referred to as the trial group) or the traditional mechanical transseptal puncture system group (referred to as the control group). All participants will undergo immediate postoperative and discharge clinical follow-ups.
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is seen as a blunted contractile responsiveness to stress, and/or altered diastolic relaxation with electrophysiological abnormalities, in absence of known cardiac disease. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with risk of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) , septic shock. , heart failure in the perioperative period following liver transplantation, and after trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion . The echocardiographic E/e' ratio is a predictor of survival in LVDD, with multiple studies, including prospective data from our Centre. The inability of the heart to cope with stress or sepsis induced circulatory failure is a key concept of the increased mortality risk due to LVDD. In view of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes epidemic and an increasing number of patients being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, there is increased risk of developing cardiac dysfunction due to multiple comorbidities including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which are contributors to overall cardiovascular risk of mortality.
The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning-based application of heart sounds in the diagnosis of valvular heart disease, which can be used to screen patients with valvular heart disease and promote earlier clinical monitoring and intervention.
This pilot study (n=20) is a prospective evaluation of the implementation of an indoor air pollution intervention among patients who have undergone recent percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. The intervention, called Air Improvement and Real-time Monitoring for Wellness through Interactive Strategies and Education (AIRWISE), is focused on improving indoor air quality through air filtration, education, and behavioral recommendations. All participants will receive the AIRWISE intervention with the objective of evaluating acceptance and use of the individual intervention components. This implementation study will inform the submission of a larger NIH proposal for a randomized trial. The central study hypothesis is that an intervention program with educational strategies and visual behavioral cues will increase knowledge and awareness of air pollution exposures among the participants and lead to improved intervention compliance.
