Filter by:Children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) often show reduced health related physical fitness as well as limitations in gross and fine motor skills/development. Intervention programs in childhood are still rare and often focus just on the improvement of cardiac outcomes or exercise capacity. Web-based interventions, as a useful alternative to training manuals or supervised training, are cost effective and allow a customization of training times. Primary purpose of this study is to improve health related physical fitness in children with congenital heart disease.
The study aims at investigating the role of cyanotic congenital heart disease (cCHD) on brain aging. The investigators assume that due to congenital and acquired cardiovascular abnormalities, cCHD patients could show radiologic (and clinical) signs of precocious brain aging and eventual cognitive decline.
This is a observational、multicenter, prospective cohort study for adults with significant VHD. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the etiology、clinical characteristics、treatment modalities, and outcomes of patients with VHD；also to set up registration system of adult VHD in China, to build a database of Chinese adult VHD, to establish a web-based international standard data acquisition system for VHD and a multicenter clinical research platform. The results of the study will provide a basis for the future national health policy for prevention and treatment of adult VHD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptance of a salt restricted diet cooked with a controlled amount of salt in patients with heart disease. Verifying if there is difference in the acceptance of the standard and hyposodic diets cooked with controlled amount of salt.
To compare the efficiency and safety between gene-oriented group and standard care group during 90 days of initial warfarin-treatment for requiring anticoagulation patients with valve replacement or atrial fibrillation with or without valvular heart disease。
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vigorous exercise training 4-5 days/week for one year in sedentary middle aged (ages 40-64) individuals at high risk for future development of heart failure will improve cardiac and vascular compliance to a degree equivalent to life-long exercisers and the sedentary young. To date, no effective therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been found; therefore prevention is critical and discovering novel treatment strategies is essential. Exercise training if implemented in high risk patients may improve diastolic function and cardiac-vascular interactions, preventing further progression to overt heart failure.
This study aims to determine what are some of the clinical characteristics and associations of Fontan patients who are doing well, as well as how accurate cardiology providers are at predicting the likelihood of future adverse event in their Fontan patients.
Cardiac denervation is inherent to the arterial switch (ASO) technique for the repair of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and the long term reinnervation process has not been studied. We sought to describe the reinnervation status of adult patients long after the ASO, to identify areas of myocardial perfusion/innervation mismatch and to assess the relation of innervation status and exercise capacity.
The investigators plan to evaluate the correlation between carotid plaque enhancement on Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), significant coronary artery disease (CAD), and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in a systematic manner. The investigators hypothesize that increased levels of CEUS-detected vulnerable carotid plaque will be predictive of CV risk determined by angiography and future cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the relationship between DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation and the expression of DNMTs, TET family gene and the degree of coronary heart disease.
