Filter by:This study will test whether a culturally-tailored nutrition and exercise intervention designed for African-American women will lead to sustained improvements in exercise and healthy eating through improvements in self-management mediators: mindfulness, stress management, positive reappraisal, self-regulation, and self-efficacy.
Monocentric study for the evaluation of a whole body CZT scintigraphy system.
Investigators evaluated the efficacy of a pilot-tested mHealth intervention to improving medication adherence and health outcomes among patients with coronary heart disease.
This is a Phase III randomized controlled trial of a passive ROM exercise program that will be performed in infants with HLHS and other single right ventricle anomalies following the Norwood procedure at PHN and Auxiliary Centers.
Hyperemia with adenosine was an elemental process in FFR examination. Adenosine injection will induce some discomfort, and increase cost expenditure. Nitroglycerine will induce an acute drop of Pd/Pa, and this lowest Pd/Pa was determined as NTG-Pd/Pa. NTG-Pd/Pa has a linear relationship with FFR value and has a good diagnostic accuracy to predict FFR≤0.80 in our recent study. There is only one prospective study report on the relationship between NTG-Pd/Pa and FFR. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety of NTG-Pd/Pa, the repeatability and dose-response of this novel index. Furthermore, we will investigate the diagnostic accuracy of NTG-Pd/Pa, with FFR≤0.8 and Resting full-cycle ratio≤0.89 as ischemic threshold respectively.
The aim of this study is to assess and compare the efficacy of a serratus anterior plane (SAP) block and our current pain protocol (Patient Controlled Intravenous Analgesia with opioids) in the prevention and treatment of acute postoperative pain after totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.
The objective is to study the validity of the 6-minute stepper test (ST6) in order to determine tolerance to effort in cardiovascular patients
Conduct a pilot randomized control to assess the preliminary efficacy of IPROACTIF, an occupational therapist-delivered primary care intervention for aging and chronic disease management.
Depression doubles the risk of death in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but so far, there is insufficient evidence that we can reduce the risk of death by treating depression. This study will investigate the cardiac risk markers that are associated with depression symptoms that remain despite treatment, and identify potential targets for their treatment. The results of the study will inform the development of more effective interventions to improve both depression and survival in patients with CHD.
Early-Synergy investigates a diagnostic imaging approach in asymptomatic individuals from the general population for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. The diagnostic imaging approach consists of cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcium scoring (CT-CAC) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion imaging. Early-Synergy investigates the effect of early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction by CMR in asymptomatic individuals with increased CAC. In addition, the diagnostic yield of CMR for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction is investigated. Asymptomatic individuals at increased risk (CAC ≥ 300) are therefore randomized 1:1 to either CMR stress perfusion imaging or a control group.
