Filter by:this study discussed the pathogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of severe cerebral infarction and ophthalmic artery occlusion for Aisan induced by hyalruonic acid filler injection.
The MINOCA-GR registry will be the first nationwide study aiming to obtain data regarding prevalence, demographics, clinical profile, previous anginal status, presence of cardiovascular risk factors, management and outcomes in patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries. An additional purpose of the registry is to highlight, for the first time worldwide to the best of the investigator's knowledge, the role of cardiac computed tomography angiography for risk stratification and personalized therapeutic approach in MINOCA patients.
In the literature, there are no studies comparing these two pathways in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this patient group, it will be investigated whether transulnar intervention causes similar or less complications than transradial intervention, and whether it provides superiority or similarity in terms of outcomes.
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through various pathways, including an adenosine-triggered pathway. Ticagrelor inhibits adenosine uptake, thus may potentiate the effects of RIPC. This randomized trial tested the hypothesis that ticagrelor potentiates the effect of RIPC and reduces PMI, as assessed by post-procedural troponin release
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) ventilation therapy was found to improve the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in non-stroke subjects. The investigators hypothesized that HFNC might be effective in stroke patients with dysphagia who needed nasogastric tube feeding and can not receive continuous positive airway pressure ventilation for obstructive sleep apnea.
The concentration of troponins in plasma is used for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. Different types of heart-specific troponins can be measured and with different analytical methods. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of a new analytical method for measuring troponin I in diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.
The investigators hypothesize that trazodone does not worse nocturnal oxygen saturation in insomnic ischemic stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression and has beneficial effect in selected stroke patients with low arousal threshold phenotype OSA.
The aim of REHAB trial is to investigate the impact of early mobilization after AMI in reducing left ventricular remodeling, as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. At the same time, the study aims to demonstrate the contribution of early mobilization to reduction of: systemic inflammation in the immediate post infarction phase, complication rates and mortality, in patients who had suffered a recent AMI, for a 1 year follow-up period.
This is a retrospective chart review of patients that were admitted with large MCA stroke to the Fairview system hospitals between December 2017-December 2018. Patients ischemic stroke volumes will be measured by taking the area of the infarction and multiplying it by the thickness of each CT or MRI slice, the summation of these volumes is the final volume of the ischemic lesion in cubic centimeters. Patients with stroke volumes greater than 70 cc will be included in the study. Patient midline shift will be measured in millimeters at the level of foramen of Monroe anytime during their initial admission and all patients with a shift greater than 1mm will be included. The midline shift will be documented on the first follow-up brain scan (CT or MRI) at least six hours after the initiation of osmotic therapy. Data will be collected from patient charts including: Age, sex, NIHSS on presentation and discharge, history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and chronic kidney disease. The type of osmotherapy, along with change in serum sodium or osmolality and dose, will also be documented. In patients that did not receive osmotherapy, midline shift will be documented on the first 24-hour scan and every subsequent scan in 24-hour intervals. Death during a hospital stay will also be recorded. The investigators will use the SAS statistical suite to analyze this data.
The HIV/HEART Aging study (HIVH) is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre trial that was conducted to assess the incidence, the prevalence and the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in HIV-infected patients. The study population includes outpatients from specialized HIV-care units of the German Ruhr region, who were at least 18 years of age, were known to have a HIV-infection and exhibited a stable disease status within 4 weeks before inclusion into the trial. From March 2004 (Pilot phase) to October 2019 (12,5 year Follow-up) 1806 HIV+ patients were recruited in a consecutive manner. The standardised examinations included a targeted assessment of medical history and physical examination. Blood was drawn for comprehensive laboratory tests including HIV specific parameters (CD4 cell count, HIV-1 RNA levels) and cardiovascular items (lipid concentrations, BNP values and renal parameters). Furthermore, non-invasive tests were performed during the initial visit, including additional heart rate and blood pressure measurements, electrocardiogram (ECGs) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Examinations were completed in accordance with previously defined standard operating procedures. CVD were defined as coronary, cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial disease, heart failure or cardiac vitium.
