Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes when added to conventional statin therapy. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of in-hospital initiation of PCSK9 inhibitor among patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) based on real-world experience. A total of 7556 AMI patients from the biobank database between January 2016 and December 2020 were screened for eligibility. After excluding those without revascularization or Statin based therapy, the remaining 5802 Statin users, 801 Statin plus Ezetimibe users and 170 Statin plus Evolocumab users (including 95 users without and 75 users with Ezetimibe), were selected for this study. Then, 1st and 3rd-month follow-up data were collected and analysed, including in-hospital mortality, readmission rate and lipid profiles
In a prospective, quantitative explorative study, the risk of aspiration and penetration when swallowing solid pills (placebo) compared to a crushed placebo pill will be evaluated during a routine Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). The study design is thus a quasi-experimental study design with repeated measurements in the sense of a pre-posttest. Each patient undergoes a baseline examination (routine procedure) followed by the intervention (administration of three different solid pills and a crushed pill).
A randomized positived-controlled study of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) was conducted between7/2013 and 4/2014. The study was designed to test efficacy of DGMI for IS. Post hoc analysis of this trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of DGMI in elderly (agedā„65 years) IS patients.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading cause s of health loss globally, representing a large proportion of general disability. Anxiety and depression occur in 20-30 percent of patients following MI and have been identified as risk factors for recurrent adverse cardiac event. The purpose of our this study is to develop and evaluate a disease specific cognitive behavioral therapy (C BT) protocol to reduce cardia anxiety, depression, increase physical inactivity and quality of life (Q oL) in patients following MI
Sudden death from ventricular arrhythmia is a serious and common complication of myocardial infarction, especially with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implantation is currently recommended at three months of optimal medical treatment in patients who have had a myocardial infarction and have a LVEF below 35%. This strategy indeed allows a reduction in mortality while early post-infarction implantation showed no benefit in terms of survival. However, the risk of sudden death at this period is the greatest and the temporary defibrillator vest, marketed under the name LifeVest, is now indicated in the early post-infarction period in patients with LVEF less than 35%. Indeed, the LifeVest would allow a reduction in sudden death of rhythmic origin in the first three months post-infarction. No study has yet investigated the prognostic significance of a ventricular rhythm disorder (ventricular tachycardia [VT] or ventricular fibrillation [VF]) occurring during this early and short (approximately 3 months) particular period of wearing the LifeVest: is this a random event, or is it an event predictive of a rhythmic recurrence? The aim of the study is to assess the association between the occurrence of a sustained ventricular rhythm disorder in the early post-infarction period, during the period of wearing the LifeVest (ventricular episodes detected, treated or not), and the risk of rhythmic recurrence at 12 months.
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG)-based supporting tool for improving the diagnosis and management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
The study intends to investigate the alteration of regional myocardial work in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and compare the distribution of regional myocardial work in patients with/without early remodeling at acute phase and 3-month follow-up.
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.
