Filter by:The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) serves as an indicator of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) with significant prognostic value in various clinical conditions. However, its impact on CMD in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), whether assessed invasively or non-invasively, is yet to be investigated. We assessed the prognostic importance of CMD using less invasive coronary angiography-derived IMR (caIMR) in HCM patients with nonobstructive epicardial coronary arteries.Patients with HCM who underwent invasive coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischemia were included. Microvascular function was assessed using caIMR, and 460 coronary arteries were analyzed. CMD was identified with caIMR>25U, in line with prior research, and the primary study endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
The purpose of the IRE System is to address the clinical need for reducing the volume of chronic symptomatic hypertrophic tonsil(s) while minimizing side effects and complications. Procedure time will also be reduced. The IRE System is designed to be more comfortable for patients, as it employs a noninvasive procedure using a high voltage pulsed electric field to create irreversible nanopores in the cell membrane, leading to cell death and the reduction of tonsil volume.
This cross-sectional, non-interventional study will assess health-related quality of life in in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Japan. The study consists of two phases. Phase I is a qualitative study using semi-structured in-depth interviews in participants with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Phase II is a quantitative study using questionnaires in participants with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a control group of participants who do not have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
This study was created to determine the safety and efficacy of treating prostatic hyperplasia with or without prominent median lobe enlargement with the REZUM technique. The systematic implementation of decisions for the location, vapor time, and the number of injections contributes to the Rezum procedure configuration for the median lobe treatment being safer and standardizer.
Efficacy of partial adenoidectomy versus total adenoidectomy regarding rate of recurrence and relief of nasal obstruction.
The purpose of this study was to understand the epidemiological status of Fabry in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy through multi-center early identification of high-risk patients in cardiology according to high-risk profiles, supplemented by DBS (dried blood disc) screening tools, and to explore the screening and diagnosis methods of patients with Fabry disease in cardiology, so as to promote the early identification, diagnosis and treatment of Fabry in cardiology.
This study is designed to rigorously evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as an innovative, non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM). HOCM, a prevalent cardiac condition, is primarily characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy, which results in the obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. This obstruction significantly compromises patient quality of life and is associated with severe risks, including arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. While current treatments like medications, surgical septal myectomy, and percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) have proven to be effective, they are not without limitations. SBRT, a recent development in non-invasive cardiac radioablation, has shown encouraging results in early-stage studies, suggesting its potential as a safe and feasible option for HOCM treatment. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to either the SBRT treatment group or a control group receiving a sham procedure. The primary objective is to measure the change in the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient under provoked conditions, using cardiac ultrasound at a 6-month follow-up. This will provide a clear assessment of the direct impact of SBRT on the primary physiological complication of HOCM. The study also sets forth several secondary objectives to provide a holistic view of the treatment's impact. These include evaluating changes in NYHA functional classification and KCCQ scores to assess improvements in symptom severity and quality of life, respectively. Additionally, we will monitor physical capacity through the 6-minute walk test, and biomarkers like NT-proBNP and cTNT for cardiac stress and damage. The effect of SBRT on QRS duration will be analyzed to understand its impact on cardiac electrical activity. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 6 months post-treatment will be recorded to evaluate safety, and the need for invasive septal reduction therapy post-treatment will be assessed to gauge long-term efficacy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential of SBRT as a treatment alternative for HOCM. By comparing its outcomes with those of traditional therapies, the study seeks to establish SBRT's role in symptom alleviation, quality of life enhancement, and risk reduction in HOCM management.
The aim of this study is to determine whether the distribution of internal load predicts the distribution of muscle hypertrophy among hamstring heads after a 10-week resistance exercise program. The hypothesis is that the distribution of internal muscle load among the hamstring is related to the distribution of muscle hypertrophy.
The purpose of this observational post-marketing surveillance study is to assess the real-world safety of mavacamten for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) in adult participants in Korea. Participants who will receive at least 1 dose of mavacamten will be enrolled.
Patients who have hypo-pigmented burn scar will have two scars chosen and randomized to treated scar and control scar. The subject will then have both scars treated with fractional ablative CO2 laser (FLSR). The treated scar will have bimatoprost delivered through the laser channels, while the control will have the vehicle (normal saline) only delivered. The treatment will continue for 14 days with twice daily application. The scars will then be monitored at a 2-week follow-up visit where levels of melanin will be evaluated. Tissue punch biopsies will also be used to evaluate the mechanism of action of bimatoprost. Treatment will occur for 6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals including follow- up visits and evaluations.
