Filter by:This multicenter clinical study aims to evaluate the multi-modality echocardiographic parameters in patients with different pathological left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and investigate the correlation between echocardiographic parameters and different etiologies, providing an important theoretical basis for early identification and risk assessment in LVH patients.
The purpose of the study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of transoral ultrasound, transcervical ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography-Computerized Tomography (PET-CT) in terms of detecting primary oropharynx tumors.
Adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy causing OSA are treated surgically however, over the last years it has been shown that montelukast or nasal steroidal spray can significantly improve symptoms, adenoid size, and polysomnographic results in pediatric non-severe OSA, excluding the need for surgery. A literature review from 2016 suggested that by using anti-leukotrienes as anti-inflammatory appears to be beneficial in children with a non-severe OSA and can be offered to parents as a treatment option before, or instead of surgery. In addition, nasal steroidal spray may be considered useful in decreasing adenoid pad size and the severity of symptoms related to adenoidal hypertrophy [9]. Despite emerging evidence that both montelukast and nasal steroids are effective in the treatment of pediatric SDB, further evidence is still required. . adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy causing OSA are treated surgically however, over the last years it has been shown that montelukast or nasal steroidal spray can significantly improve symptoms, adenoid size, and polysomnographic results in pediatric non-severe OSA, excluding the need for surgery.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the transapical beating-heart myectomy for the treatment of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study.
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 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).
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.
