Filter by:The purpose of the study is to monitor the clinical safety and performance of the EXCOR Venous Cannula in context of an EXCOR VAD therapy to ensure continued acceptability of identified risks, to enable detecting emerging risks and to assess clinical improvement on both short- and long-term.
The primary aim of this research is to explore the adherence and drop-out from early cardiac rehabilitation (CR), to inform interventions to support patient's adherence to CR and facilitate maintenance. The secondary aim is to understand which aspects of CR are essential for improving health-related quality of life in the short and long-term. This research will comprise four stages adopting a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental, repeated measures design.
rheumatic heart disease remains the majority valvular disease in low and middle income countries, which mostly affected mitral valve, surgical treatment is the most effective strategy to improve the outcomes of middle or late-stage RHD patient, however, whether mitral valve repair surgery is superior to replacement or other evolving interventional device remains controversial, this study aims to investigate the results of repair surgery compared with replacement or other treatment strategy from international multicenters.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) promote systemic and coronary endothelial repair through rescue of bone marrow progenitors in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic IHD compared to placebo.
The aim of this study is to evaluate functional and physical capacity, health-related quality of life and associations with frailty in older patients after ischemic heart disease and interventional treatment with an individualized physical training program in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation.
Neurological dysfunction continues to be one of the complications of considerable concern in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It was previously reported in the literature, that cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery was associated with an increased incidence of cognitive impairment. This study aims to determine whether continuous monitoring of cerebral oximetry improves the neurocognitive outcome in coronary artery bypass surgery when associated with predetermined intervention protocol to optimize cerebral oxygenation.
ARB-PMCF is a multicenter, observational study of the safety and performance of Abbott annuloplasty devices used in surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The devices included in this study are the SJM™ Rigid Saddle Ring and SJM Séguin Annuloplasty Ring, indicated for mitral valve repair, and the SJM Tailor™ Annuloplasty Ring and SJM Tailor Annuloplasty Band, indicated for mitral or tricuspid repair. Participants will be enrolled prior to undergoing mitral or tricuspid valve repair surgery including an Abbott annuloplasty implant and will complete annual follow-up visits through five years from implant. The study is being conducted to meet post-market clinical follow-up requirements of the European Union Medical Device Directives.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) intervention in patients with adult congenital heart disease.
This study aims to study the correlation between biomarkers of myocardial fibrosis (extracellular volume fraction calculated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (T1-mapping) and levels of molecular biomarkers of fibrosis) and adverse events in a population of patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
The PREDICT 3 study will build on previous research in over 2,000 individuals to further refine machine learning models that predict individual responses to foods, with the aim of advancing precision nutrition science and individualized dietary advice. The study incorporates both standardized and controlled dietary intervention, for the purpose of testing postprandial responses to specific mixed meals, in addition to a free-living period with a dietary record for measuring responses to a large variety of meals consumed in a realistic context, where the role of external factors (e.g. exercise, sleep, time of day) on postprandial responses may be determined. For the first time this PREDICT study is built on top of a commercial product which will allow access to a much larger group of participants who are already collecting large amounts of data through digital and biochemical devices that can contribute to science.
