Filter by:A preoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) is nearly routinely performed by anesthesiologists in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients as part of pre-anesthesia evaluation. However, the added value of this routine ECG beyond patient history and physical examination is questionable. The ECGtrial will investigate the efficacy of routine preoperative electrocardiography in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is: - To study the clinical usefulness of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit. - To study reproducibility of nurse-performed ultrasound and echocardiographic examinations in a cardiac intensive care unit. - To study which ultrasound measure that best correlate with the amount of pleural effusion.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intravenous administration of single- and multiple-ascending doses of Thymosin Beta 4 is safe and tolerable in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to test bone marrow mononuclear cells for patients with recent heart attack who are at high risk of experiencing heart failure. This study drug is made of you own cells. Studies similar to this one have suggested that the use of cell-based transfer after heart attack can improve the recuperation of the heart. The purpose of this study is to assess whether cell transfer can improve the healing of the heart after a heart attack.
This study is designed to look at the measurement and prediction of changes in the heart following a heart attack.
High blood pressure is one of the most common health problems in the United States. There are many drug treatment options for high blood pressure, but these medications are not always effective. People with treated high blood pressure can still suffer from other serious cardiovascular health problems, including heart attack, sudden death, or stroke. Genetic variations may cause some people to be more susceptible to these cardiovascular outcomes despite treatment. This study will identify new gene regions that may influence the effectiveness of high blood pressure drugs in preventing the above mentioned cardiovascular conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Betahistine Mesilate in the treatment of patients with vertigo caused by Cerebral Infarction in posterior circulation.
The hypothesis of the current proposal is that collateral flow is an important determinant of myocardial protection during an ischemic event. Increased collateral flow for any given area at risk will decrease the myocardial damage caused by the occlusion of the infarct related epicardial artery. It is further hypothesized that myocardial salvage provided by collateral flow will decrease infarct size and this in turn will decrease LV dilatation post-myocardial infarction.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a home-based walking program is an acceptable alternative for those who choose not to attend formal cardiac rehabilitation programs and if such a program has an effect on coronary risk or physical fitness.
