Filter by:- 2D Echocardiography with color Doppler assessment: It will be done within 24 h after PPCI - Peripheral blood samples were obtained within 48 hours after acute MI, and the serum will be frozen at -70°C until tested for Galactin-3 level. - Follow up 2D Doppler echocardiography: will be repeated at 40 days of the event.
Aims - heart rate variability (HRV) assessment in patients with acute myocardial infarction who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); - measurement of HRV using a device approved for medical use in Europe; - assessment of the correlation between HRV and short- and long-term adverse cardiovascular events (composite of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events - MACE; ventricular arrhythmias; hospital admissions for heart failure; left ventricular systolic and diastolic disfunction; MACE in special subgroups of patients - elderly, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease) in patients treated by primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction; - creating a registry of HRV parameters measured in a contemporary cohort of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
To find out if the time delays between the first medical contacts till the device has an impact on LV functions estimated by transthoracic Echocardiography and if it's correlated to heart failure incidence in non-diabetic patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI
Prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is scarce, indeed almost half patients die or become severely disable after SAH. Outcome is related to the severity of the initial bleeding and delayed cerebral infarction (DCI). Infection and more precisely pneumonia have been associated with poor outcome in SAH. However, the interaction between the two pathologic events remains unclear. Therefore, we hypothesized that DCI may be associated to pneumonia in SAH patients. Thus the aim of the study is to analyze the association between delayed cerebral infarction and pneumonia in patients with SAH. Retrospective, observational, monocentric cohort study, including patient admitted in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit or Surgical Intensive Care Unit in the University Hospital of Brest (France) for non-traumatic SAH. Primary outcome is diagnosis of DCI on CT scan or MRI 3 months after SAH. Multivariate analysis is used to identify factors independently associated with DCI. We plan to include between 200 and 250 patients in the analysis.
This is a retrospective, multi-center, real-world study. The researchers plan to include 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using butylphthalide and 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using Edaravone. The main purpose is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide and establish the drug risk assessment management plan.
APERITIF is a prospective randomized open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) trial, nested in the ongoing the "FRENCHIE" registry, a French multicenter prospective observational study granted by "ANR-RHU Grand Emprunt", in which all consecutive patients admitted within 48 hours after symptom onset in a cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are included (NCT04050956). Among them, eligible Patients for "APERITIF" will be randomized into two groups: Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) alone or DAPT plus rivaroxaban 2.5mg twice daily for 4 weeks, prescribed as soon as possible after admission and completion of the initial percutaneous coronary intervention/angiography procedure.
Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.
This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.
Background: Initially conceived of as a method to address healthcare needs of underserved rural populations, Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedicine (MIH/CP) is a new model of inter-professional, community-based outpatient healthcare delivery that primarily utilizes the resources and training of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to fill gaps in local healthcare infrastructure, expanding existing scope of practice in most cases while not detracting from acute transport capabilities. Although programs have been in existence since the early 1990s, there are few objective studies of the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of MIH/CP programs, many of which are limited-scope pilot projects. The limited data already published on these measures by established programs shows substantial Medicare charge-avoidances in patients enrolled in CHF-readmission prevention and EMS frequent user programs, and a significant reduction in Emergency Department visits overall, especially in austere environments. In summary, MIH/CP is an attempt at formalization of long-standing practices to collaborate with and supplement other healthcare system components such as primary care and home health services. Standardized, objective data collection and publication of results will be needed to support continuation and financial support of this emerging concept. Objective/Hypothesis: Using the existing resources of the MD-, RN- and Paramedic-staffed Lifespan Pediatric and Adult Critical Care Transport (LifePACT) service, investigators aim to study whether implementation of an MIH/CP pilot program tailored to the needs of an urban, underserved population in Providence, Rhode Island, will reduce the rate of 30-day hospital readmissions for patients after discharges for community-acquired pneumonia, acute MI, and COPD. In addition, investigators will study whether such a program is considered to be safe (in terms of not increasing the number of adverse events post-discharge for patients or compromising the efficacy of the LifePACT transport role) and considered satisfactory by patients (rated comparably to visits by other outpatient health care services such as VNA services).
Studies have demonstrated that the early initiation of ACEI/ARB to patients with acute myocardial infarction is beneficial, especially in patients combined with reduced LVEF or mild-moderate heart failure. Therefore, ACEI/ARB is a traditional treatment for patients post-infarction. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that Sacubitril/Valsartan is more beneficial than Ramipril to patients post-PCI.Besides, Sacubitril/Valsartan is also effective for essential hypertension.This study aims to assess the effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on short-term prognosis in hypertensive patients with acute myocardial infarction compared against Valsartan.
