Filter by:In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the use of milking and sucking methods on bleeding amount, vital signs and oxygen saturation in children with chest and mediastinal drains after cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to observe conduction disturbance, daily activity level, heart rates, oxygen saturation in patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and to evaluate the utility of the HUAWEI Watch (HUAWEI Technologies Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) for the potential early warning sign of changes in multiple biometric parameters including heart rate, rhythm, oxygen saturation, activity, and sleep in patients following TAVR. This will be evaluated in the context of a recently implemented early discharge protocol.
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial design. It was conducted with a main purpose of evaluating the effect of thiamine supplementation on serum lactate and lactate-pyruvate ratio after surgery as direct indicators of tissue perfusion and indirect markers of energy substrate availability for effective mitochondrial function and intubation time as clinical outcome.
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide over the last two decades; in these patients the rate of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality is several folds higher than in the general population, configuring a major public health problem. The clinical phenotype is the main determinant of such high mortality risk; however, a relevant role is played by the disease duration, with a significant interaction with metabolic control. However, for T2D the diagnosis does not correspond to the true onset of the disease, and a high lethality rate also in patients with recent onset of the disease cannot be excluded. Robust evidence supports this hypothesis, showing as in subjects with new-onset T2D, the mortality risk is superimposable, and even higher, than that observed in people with overt and long-term T2D. In this complex scenario, it would be desirable an early identification of high-risk patients, in which an accurate estimation of risk of complications, coupled with appropriate and timely interventions, might help in reducing the risk of encountering premature mortality. The present study was design to address this specific issue.
This clinical trial is studying the use of different levels of oxygen exposure during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in eligible infants to learn about its safety during heart surgery. In addition to having the various doses of oxygen, participants will also have blood samples, ultrasounds of the head, and brain wave patterns monitored. The hypotheses of this trial are: - that there will be no difference with regards to adverse events between the infants in the normoxia group compared to the infants in the standard of care group - there will be a significant difference in the measured partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) values between the two treatment groups. - the use of normoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass and in the immediate post-operative period will result in clinically significant decrease in oxidative stress as measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) after cardiac surgery
The trial will include 5000 patients with evident or suspected ischemic heart disease refered to Department of Nuclear Medicine & PET Centre, Aarhus University Hospital, for perfusion imaging by 15O-H2O PET/CT scan of the heart during rest and stress. The patients will undergo the clinical scan as normal. Data from the scans will be used to determine reference values of the examination. Follow up will be done for up to 10 years in regards to major cardiovascular events in order to determine the prognostic value of the scan.
Multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study comparing PCI guided by angiography versus iFR Co-Registration using commercially available Philips pressure guidewires and the SyncVision co-registration system, employing an adaptive design study for interim sample size re-estimation.
The Malaria Heart Disease Study is a prospective longitudinal cohort study of a random sample of approximately 1200 individuals from the state of Acre in Brazil. The overall hypothesis is that patients who have (i) previously suffered from a malaria infection or (ii) patients with ongoing symptomatic malaria will benefit from having an echocardiogram and blood tests performed as a screening tool to diagnose early cardiac impairment and prevent future cardiovascular disease.
In this study the ability of smartphone sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) to identify patients with heart failure will be studied.
A multicenter, retrospective clinical study was carried out in the medical records management system of 6 hospitals in Tianjin. Patients who were suffered with Coronary heart disease angina pectoris and underwent coronary angiography are collected. The investigators collect and analyze the demographics, laboratory information, clinical outcome data, and coronary angiographic data of patients. To explore the correlation between hypercholesterolemia and the degree of coronary artery stenosis of Coronary heart disease angina pectoris, and to further research the influence of hypertension on total cholesterol level and coronary artery stenosis, and provide guidance for clinical prevention and treatment.
