This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type in order to determine the effect of slow breathing exercise applied after the procedure on heart rate, blood pressure and quality of life in patients who underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) I after the diagnosis of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Patients who underwent primary PCI due to STEMI in a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul will constitute the study population. A sample will be formed with a total of 80 patients, 40 experimental and 40 control groups, selected by computer assisted simple randomization method among volunteer patients who underwent primary PCI and met the inclusion criteria. In this study, slow breathing exercise training will be given to the experimental group by the coordinator. In their home followmup after discharge, they will be asked to do slow breathing exercises for 10 minutes twice a day for eight weeks. Data will be collected using the "Patient Information Form", "MacNew Heart Disease Health Related Quality of Life Scale", "VAS Breath Therapy Satisfaction Evaluation Form", "Self-Monitoring Form" and "Patient Follow up Form". Patients will be seen again during the outpatient clinic examination in the fourth and eighth weeks and the effectiveness of slow breathing exercises will be evaluated with data collection forms.
The overall aim with the project is to evaluate if a digital patient group-education can reduce kinesiophobia and promote physical activity in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and/or atrial fibrillation (AF) Research questions 1. Can a digital patient group-education reduce kinesiophobia and promote PA in patients with MI and/or AF? 2. Is a digital patient group-education feasible based on the patients' experiences? Intervention: Patients with MI and/or AF and kinesiophobia meet 7 times in a group education via Zoom® video meetings with a tutor (nurse, physiotherapist) for 8 weeks and learn about PA, kinesiophobia, AF and/or CAD. The education involves four real life scenarios as a starting point for the learning process inspired by problem-based learning, live stream/recorded lectures/resource, behavioral activation and exposure to PA in order to reduce kinesiophobia and promote PA.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the size of myocardial infarct between evolocumab and control groups in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). All study participants will undergo a cardiac MRI 4 weeks after primary reperfusion. The evolocumab group will receive 420 mg before PCI via subcutaneous injection.
This is a registry of the patients that are admitted to CICU and treated by the Scientific Staff of the 2nd Department of Cardiology, due to an acute cardiovascular disease (acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade etc) in order to investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients, their outcome, identify the factors that could predict the in-hospital mortality and compare the results with the predicted by established risk scores. Furthermore, the study will investigate the one-year mortality and also the major adverse cardiac events (MACE - acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death) will be measured.
The aim of the study is to clarify whether the perioperative release of the cardiac biomarkers troponin I, troponin T and CK-MB consistently correlate with visualizable myocardial damage, and to what extent these biomarkers are comparable by means of their kinetics and dynamics. Due to the uncertainty regarding the validity of cardiac biomarkers in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, the answer to these questions could have a considerable influence on internationally valid guidelines and definitions. International studies, especially in the field of coronary surgery and coronary artery disease treatment refer to these definitions, in particular, the adequate treatment of affected patients is directly dependent on them.
The aim of this research is to study the prognostic role of a selected combination of cytokines and adipokines in patients with myocardial infarction, as well as to determine their role in the development of adverse cardiac remodeling.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most important diseases threatening human life. The existing MI prognosis prediction scales mostly predict the incidence of death, recurrent MI and heart failure through 6-8 clinical text indicators, and the data are collected relatively simply. Myocardial remodeling, as an adverse pathological change that can start and continue to progress in the early stage after myocardial infarction, is the main pathological mechanism of heart failure and death. However, there is no quantitative early-warning model of myocardial remodeling, and the clinical guidance of early intervention is lacking. Our previous study found that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can accurately quantify the necrotic area and recoverable myocardium in the edematous myocardium after myocardial infarction. In this study, machine learning algorithm, variable convolution network (DCN) and capsule network (capsnet) are used to build a new neural network architecture. Structural feature extraction of multi-modal clinical image data such as MRI and ultrasound is realized. Combined with the established database of 3000 patients with myocardial infarction, the multimodal feature matrix will be constructed, and a variety of classifiers such as support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) will be used for quantitative prediction of myocardial remodeling, and the effects of different classifiers were evaluated. It is expected that this project will establish a quantitative early warning model of myocardial remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in line with the characteristics of Chinese people. The same type of data outside the database will be used for verification to establish an efficient and stable early warning model.
High-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a cornerstone for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is often challenging to diagnose AMI in patients with elevated hs-cTnT before a rise or fall of hs-cTnT can be observed. The elevations of hs-cTnT are caused not only by AMI, but also by other cardiac or even non-cardiac diseases. Thresholds above the 99th percentile have been proposed to improve the specificity and to accelerate the rule in of myocardial infarction. This study aimed to find a more accurate cut-off value to rule in AMI in patients with elevated hs-cTnT.
This is a national, multicenter prospective observational study of patients presenting to hospitals in Armenia with STEMI diagnosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the rate of in-hospital mortality for the patients with STEMI admitted to the participating hospitals. - Compare short and long-term CV and all-cause mortality and hospitalization. - Determine how professional guidelines are followed in real-world situations.
