Filter by:This study is an exploratory clinical study to observe the improvement of lung function before and after the treatment by human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and the purpose is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells on non-cardiac surgery-induced lung injury in patients with ischemic heart disease. The study is a randomized parallel controlled study. Patients receive a review of which main content includes symptom improvement, lung function improvement, and adverse events.
This study is designed to verify the safety and efficacy of Lepu® NeoVas™ Bioabsorbable Coronary Artery Rapamycin-eluting Stent System combined with different antiplatelet therapies in the treatment of coronary heart disease.
To evaluate the impact of prehabilitation on quality of recovery in heart valve surgery. To evaluate the effects of Mild to moderate valvular diseases with Newyork Heart Association (NYHA) grade I and II . Previous studies were designed to target on Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABGs) patients no specifically heart valve surgery patients was studied so this study cover this aspect as well so from the outcomes of this study we will determine the prehabilitation effects on valvular surgery patients.
XueBiJing, a Chinese herbal derived therapeutic, has been approved to treat severe infections (sepsis) in critically ill patients (China Food and Drug Administration; Beijing, China, Number Z20040033). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) will produce large amounts of inflammatory mediators and oxygen free radicals, which causes the lipid peroxidation damage and mononuclear cell migration, thus aggravating organ inflammation and damage. Therefore, exploring new methods to prevent and alleviate organ injury caused by CPB is an important topi in clinical practice. However, little knowledge is regarding the effect of Xuebijing injection on CPB-related organ injury. To answer these questions, the authors conducted this randomized trial to compare XueBiJing with placebo in critically ill patients with cardiovascular surgery.
Children born with congenital heart problems face numerous physical, developmental, and social challenges. Complications in pregnancy have potential to impair brain development, leading a smaller brain volume and less mature brain even in babies born at full term. As the brain is less mature, it may be more susceptible to oxygen deprivation and other forms of brain injury. Urgent surgery is often required in the first few weeks of life to improve functioning of the heart, but this surgery also carries a risk of additional brain injuries. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of factors associated with the development of brain injury in neonates undergoing heart surgery in the first year or life. The short-term aim of this study is to provide data to help our team to develop advanced monitoring software that can be used to guide perfusion of the brain during surgery with a view to preventing surgery-related brain injury. The mid-term goal of the study is to identify risk factors associated with brain injury and inflammation around the time of surgery, through using MRI and taking blood samples. A longer term aim of this study is to be able to follow the children as they develop to see if any problems develop later in life. In this study, we will ask parents to complete two brief questionnaires when their infant reaches 2 years of age. Overall, this study aims to improve our understanding of the causes of brain injury in patients born with congenital heart problems. The data provided by this study will help us to develop new tools for monitoring brain perfusion during surgery.
Individuals with heart disease and depressive symptoms suffer from higher death rates, higher rates of acute cardiac events (such as heart attacks), and faster progression of heart disease compared to those with heart disease who do not have depressive symptoms, and these problems are much worse in rural people. Unfortunately, rural people with heart disease and depressive symptoms do not receive needed therapy for depressive symptoms because of lack of mental health providers in rural areas, worries about stigma, and difficulty accessing mental health care because of multiple barriers to traveling to get care. To overcome these barriers, the investigators will compare the impact of two types of online cognitive behavioral therapy (video-conferenced face-to-face versus self-administered internet-based) and usual care on depressive symptoms to provide patients and healthcare providers with needed information about which is more effective and to increase the number of patients adequately treated.
Objective to evaluate the effect of Shexiang Baoxin Pill on myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (non obstructive coronary heart disease) through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical multicenter study.At the same time, the effects of exercise tolerance and quality of life were also observed.
Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is a newly described classification devised by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2019 to replace the term "Stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The main reason for effecting the change is the term is thought to better describe the disease process and encompass a wider spectrum of clinical, pharmacological, and pathophysiological entities. Using this new term, the disease atherosclerosis manifests as CAD is categorized into Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and CCS. The main focus of introducing the concept of CCS is on the fact that CAD is a continuous phenomenon involving intravascular plaque aggregation and progression which has different evolutionary phases. Dyslipidemia is recognized as a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease. It is characterized by an elevation of serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), or triglycerides (TG) and reduced serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration . Genetically determined and metabolically induced disturbances in lipid metabolism, as manifested in several types of dyslipidemia, have been shown to be causally related to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). A diversity of clinical and angiographic studies has been made to evaluate the linkage between plasma lipid-control therapy in the development of recurrent cardiovascular events. Independent predictors of recurrent CVD events or death include age, smoking, hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and the underutilization of medications recommended by current treatment guidelines.
Music intervention is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing weaning. The effectiveness of music intervention in reducing anxiety of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music intervention on anxiety, agitation, sleep quality and physiological parameters on patients in ICU. This study was conducted from January to June 2019. A total of 196 hospitalized ICU patients were divided into two groups. Subjects in experimental group received 30 minutes music intervention for 3 days on bedside whereas subjects in control group received routine care only. The primary outcome was anxiety. Agitation Sedation Scale, sleep quality and physical parameters were selected to collect as secondary outcomes.There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline. The results of this study support that music can reduce anxiety and agitation levels in ICU's patient. Nurses can incorporate this intervention into the daily care in order to reduce the discomfort of patients.
The purpose of this research is to see if Heart Health Yoga (HHY) Program when added on to standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) will improve overall wellbeing and quality of life for patients experiencing ischemic heart disease, heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries.
