Filter by:This is a non-invasive/observational study in healthy and mild HF subjects utilizing clinical and ambulatory measurements to improve detection, monitoring, and management of HF risks.
In this study, the investigators evaluated the association between various measures of adiposity [BMI and waist circumference (WC)] and clinical outcomes in Asian patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, using a nationwide population based cohort.
The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of different apical size and taper preparation (35. 04; 35. 06; 45. 04 and 45. 06) on postoperative pain at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and intra-canal bacterial count in patients having mandibular premolars with necrotic pulps.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the rhythm control effect in hypertrophic non-obstructive patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by either concomitant catheter endocardial and thoracoscopic epicardial ablation or catheter ablation alone. The study aims to see if concomitant hybrid ablation can more effectively achieve rhythm control effect than catheter ablation alone in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance and efficacy of the AVAVA MIRIA Laser Skin System treatment on acne scars. Participants will be treated with the MIRIA laser at least 4 times with each treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The improvement of acne scars will be evaluated at 1 month and 3 months with a possibility of 6 months evaluation after the fourth treatment.
The investigators' goal is to show that in hypertensive men and women with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) treatment with a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, versus a thiazide-like diuretic, will improve coronary microvascular function and cardiac efficiency, which will associate with improvements in LV structure and function. The investigators will achieve this through a randomized, controlled, basic experimental study involving humans (BESH).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of mavacamten compared with placebo in participants with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited monogenic heart disease. There is an abnormal increase in myocardial mass in this disorder that leads to a state of cardiac sympathetic hypertonia, which is involved in disease progression, development of arrhythmias and heart failure. Cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity may constitute a new therapeutic target in HCM patients who persist symptomatic despite conventional treatment. The hypothesis of this project is that renal denervation (a minimally invasive percutaneous interventional therapy with proven efficacy in resistant arterial hypertension) reduces cardiac sympathetic activity in HCM. The SNYPER pilot study is a non-randomized clinical trial with medical devices (proof of concept), in which a renal denervation procedure will be performed in 20 patients with genetically confirmed sarcomeric HCM, severe left ventricular hypertrophy and persistent symptoms. The impact of denervation in reducing the 123I-meta iodo benzyl guanidine (MIBG) washout rate quantified by isotopic tracing (planar imaging and SPECT) at 6 months is established as a primary efficacy objective, and the proportion of renal denervation-related complications as a safety objective. The most relevant secondary endpoints are the outcomes of renal denervation on left ventricular mass (echocardiogram), diastolic function, maximum oxygen consumption (ergospirometer), ventricular arrhythmia burden (Holter), blood pressure (ABPM), N-terminal (NT) Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and quality of life (KCCQ questionnaire). The results of this study may open the development of a new, technically simple and easily accessible therapeutic line for the treatment of HCM.
A strict vegetarian diet includes only foods of plant-based origin and, despite being able to meet the nutritional needs of individuals of different ages, when correctly planned, it commonly offers a lower protein intake than a non-vegetarian diet. Daily protein intake directly influences the turnover of body proteins (synthesis vs. degradation rates), being important for the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass, tissue that performs metabolic functions in the body and enables the performance of tasks of daily living. In addition, the practice of strength training (ST) interferes in muscle mass increasing rates, also exerting an influence in muscle quality, strength and power increase, which are associated with better physical fitness, quality of life and health. To make these increases possible, especially in relation to morphological aspects, a higher protein intake than recommended for the general population is necessary (1.2 to 1.6 g/kg/day), which requires careful dietary planning, especially when the consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products, which are important sources of this nutrient, is excluded. Thus, the present study has two main objectives: to compare the neuromuscular characteristics of strict vegetarians (VE) and non-vegetarians (NV) (Phase 1 - cross-sectional) and the neuromuscular adaptations induced by 16 weeks of ST (Phase 2 - longitudinal).
The goal of this treatment study is to determine if doing lateral pharyngoplasty with tonsillectomy is better for children than doing tonsillectomy alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do children experience less pain after surgery when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed with tonsillectomy compared to tonsillectomy alone? - Do children eat/drink better when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed with tonsillectomy compared to tonsillectomy alone? - Is there a lower risk of bleeding after tonsillectomy when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed? Researchers will compare children undergoing tonsillectomy and lateral pharyngoplasty with children undergoing tonsillectomy alone to see if the participants experience less pain, better oral intake, and less bleeding complications after surgery. Parents of participants will be asked to record pain scores and pain medications given, approximate amounts of daily oral intake, and any complications after surgery.
