Filter by:This randomized control trial seeks to better understand the educational needs of Acute Coronary Symptom (ACS) patients including the optimal timing and method of delivery as well as linkages with appropriate community resources and supports are important for cardiac patients to self-manage post hospital discharge to improve outcomes. While there is some literature of the learning needs of ACS patients, there is a paucity of research related to the timing and preferred methods of delivery. This study aims to better understand how best to tailor care for ACS patients from hospital to community. Specifically, the investigators propose a 2 phased approach to understand the needs of patients, and then to develop and deliver a tailored approach to assess, educate and support patients both in-hospital and within the community. The intervention compares 1) a virtual remote home monitoring (RHM) platform and 2) Rapid Response Nursing (RRN) staff to follow, educate and support ACS patients post hospital discharge for a period of no more than 30 days. The Primary Objective of this study is to safely transition low risk ACS patients, from hospital to home, with appropriate supports to safely self-manage in the community and to provide educational and community supports to improve post discharge outcomes of low risk ACS patients
Cardiac-enriched micro-RNAs (miRNAs), micro RNA 208b and 133a(MiR-208b, MiR-133a)) corresponds to the health and disorders of the cardiovascular system. An intron of the cardiac myosin heavy chain gene MYH7 encodes miR-208b. It is found on chromosome 14 in humans. Identify new diagnostic biomarkers based on miRNAs, researchers examine the expression of miR-133a and 208b at various time points (04 hours, 08 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours) following the development of the infarct and compared it to the traditional myocardial infarction biomarkers cardiac troponine (cTnl) and Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB).
The primary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve midline shift at 72 hours (or at time of decompressive craniectomy or comfort measures only, if earlier) in participants with large hemispheric infarction. The secondary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve acute neurologic status, functional outcomes, treatment requirements and safety.
Patients with chest pain and persistent ST segment elevation (STE) may not have acute coronary occlusions or serum troponin curves suggestive of acute necrosis. Our objective is the validation and cost-effectiveness analysis of a diagnostic model assisted by artificial intelligence (AI). Our hypothesis is that an AI analysis of the surface electrocardiogram allows a better distinction of patients with STE due to acute myocardial ischemia, from those with another etiology. This is a prospective multicenter study with two groups of patients with STE: I) coronary arteries without significant lesions and without serum troponin curve suggestive of acute necrosis, II) myocardial infarction with acute coronary occlusion. A manual centralized electrocardiographic analysis and another by AI algorithms will be performed.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of eHealth-based cardiac rehabilitation with the effect of usual care on exercise capacity and qualify of life in patients after myocardial infarction.
The CBI registry is a prospective, interdisciplinary, multimodal observational registry of patients with covert brain infarction. Methods: A standardized workup in analogy to manifest ischemic stroke including cerebral MRI, long-term rhythm monitoring (3 x 7 days ECG), echocardiography, laboratory work-up and risk factor assessment as well as noninvasive angiography of the cervical and intracranial arteries will be performed.
Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high disability mortality rate, and timely reperfusion treatment can significantly reduce the mortality of patients. Emergency PCI is the preferred strategy for STEMI treatment recommended by domestic and international guidelines. The long-term existence of stents can never completely avoid the formation of thrombosis in the stents and affect the relaxation and contraction of criminal blood vessels. Drug coated balloon provides a new concept and technology of interventional therapy for coronary artery disease in the form of "intervention without implantation". Through balloon dilation of local blood vessels to release anti proliferative drugs to coronary artery wall and inhibit intimal hyperplasia, it can not only treat serious coronary artery disease, improve coronary blood supply and vascular function, but also not leave permanent implants in the blood vessels; The main pathogenesis of STEMI is thrombosis based on the rupture or erosion of coronary atheromatous plaque. In terms of pathophysiological mechanism, drug coated balloons are also suitable for STEMI patients without obvious thrombosis or severe dissection after full pretreatment. The two-dimensional lumen images obtained by traditional coronary angiography can not directly reflect the vessel wall, so we can not evaluate the actual size of the vessel, plaque characteristics and the effect of intervention through coronary angiography; Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses near-infrared scanning to produce high-resolution tissue microscopic images with a resolution of up to 10 μ m. It can clearly observe the three-layer structure of coronary artery, find abnormal intima structure, and more clearly identify thrombosis, dissection, plaque erosion or collapse in coronary artery, providing more valuable information for optimizing interventional treatment. Therefore, the application of drug coated balloon under the guidance of OCT in STEMI can provide a more accurate and optimized diagnosis and treatment scheme for STEMI patients.
Recent small subcortical infarction (RSSI) is defined as a small deep infarction in the territory of a perforating artery with maximum axial diameters (MAD) of less than 20 mm. Although RSSI is generally considered to be of a relatively favorable prognosis, about 13.5% to 43% of RSSI patients experience early neurological deterioration (END) in the acute phase, which often bring adverse effects on long-term outcomes. Although a number of risk factors for END have been identified previously, however, the risk factors of END and the underlying etiological mechanism are still ambiguous, and also the relevant intervention measures lack sufficient evidences, which is a thorny problem that clinicians have to face. In this multicenter, large-sample prospective registry study, we ought to investigate the natural course of END in patients with RSSI. Exploring the risk factors and potential mechanism of its occurrence and development, and trying to establish a comprehensive predictive model for END that integrates multi-dimensional information including clinical symptom, demographic data, biochemical biomarker and image data, and so as to provide a valuable tool for clinical evaluation and early management. Simultaneously, our study will provide information for the design of therapeutic randomized controlled trials in the future.
Gensini score (GS) provides valuable information on severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). We aim to evaluate the relationship between the severity of CAD determined by the GS and short and long term of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
the study is to investigate the relationship of several parameters of complete blood count (CBC) including RDW with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in a cohort of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
