Filter by:BP-REACH is a study of a team-based (pharmacist and health coach) program for lowering blood pressure for people with a prior stroke or heart attack in the Los Angeles Department of Health Services public healthcare system. The goal of this clinical trial is to test if this team based program is better at helping people reduce their blood pressure than usual care for people with prior heart attack or stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do people in the REACH BP program have lower blood pressure at 12 months compared to those getting usual care? - Do people in the REACH BP program have better Life's Essential 8 scores and patient experience compared to those getting usual care?
Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) accounts for 15% of all myocardial infarctions and its mortality rate approaches that of large vessel myocardial infarction, but there are currently no effective treatment options. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is an important mechanism of MINOCA and is closely related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The prospective trial aimed to verify the safety and effectiveness of cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) in the treatment of Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), and to expand the scope of clinical indications for CSWT and provide new treatment strategy for MINOCA.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.
Following myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation has undeniable benefits on criteria such as cardiovascular mortality and coronary recurrence. Cardiac rehabilitation consists of 3 phases: 1. immediate post-acute, in a cardiology department, 2. active cardiac rehabilitation for several weeks under medical supervision as an inpatient or outpatient, 3. Resumption of active life by the patient. Indeed, one of the major aims of secondary prevention is long-term adherence to physical activity.However, only 20% to 40% of coronary patients remain physically active at 6 months or 1 year, and the effects of Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation are not maintained. Managing to maintain at least a moderate level of physical activity after Phase 2 of CR is a major objective. Various interventions (booklets, applications, activity programs, motivational talks led by healthcare professionals have been tested and compared with the usual care in Phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation. An effect seems to exist on the level of physical activity reported, but with a significant evaluation bias. This study aims to use accelerometry to evaluate the 6-month efficacy of the therapeutic education program for consolidation in phase 3 of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation involving a patient partner and a caregiver on moderate-to-sustained physical activity (> 3 METs) in coronary patients on Phase 3 of cardiac rehabilitation compared with usual rehabilitation management.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of exercise prescriptions in cardiac rehabilitation eligible older adults (60 years or older) with heart disease. The investigators found in a single site pilot trial (insert NCTxxx) that one exercise prescription was better and are now repeating this study in a larger population at two sites (Baystate Medical Center, Springfield MA and Henry Ford Health System, Detroit MI). The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: 1. Compare two different exercise prescriptions in cardiac rehabilitation on exercise outcomes 1. Graded exercise test +Target heart rate range prescription [GXT-THRR] 2. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) 2. What is the role of psychological feedback on fitness outcomes during cardiac rehabilitation and physical activity outside of cardiac rehabilitation. 3. What are the long-term clinical outcomes between the two exercise prescriptions Participants will be asked to: - Complete surveys about physical activity, exercise anxiety, exercise efficacy, and fears about exercising - Perform fitness measures (6-minute walk test, balance tests, stand to sit tests, a 400 meter walk, and handgrip strength) - Attend at least 18 sessions of cardiac rehabilitation after they are randomized to their exercise prescription group - Wear a heart rate monitor and a physical activity monitor per study protocol Participants will be randomized (flip of a coin) to either receive a graded exercise test and psychoeducational feedback or lifestyle education (nutrition for cardiac). The graded exercise test will be used to create a personalized exercise prescription with the target heart rate range calculated from the test and the lifestyle education group will use their ratings of perceived exertion for their exercise prescription.
A total of 220 patients (110 per arm) who report moderate alcohol consumption between 4 and 28 standard units (1 standard unit = ~10 grams) per week in the 12 months prior to hospital admission will be planned for randomization, using a 1:1 ratio to pursue moderate alcohol consumption (1 standard unit per day for women and 2 standard units per day for men for 12 months) or abstinence (except for one drink on predefined/agreed special occasions) for a total duration of 12 months. An echocardiography will be performed at baseline and 12 months to assess changes in systolic cardiac function (LVEF) for the primary endpoint. A core laboratory team blinded to assignment will perform data interpretation.
Observational study of preterm infant with a gestational age < 30 weeks born between 2017-2023 in Neonatal Care Unit in Gregorio Marañon Hospital (Madrid, Spain). We use a new ultrasonographic prognostic scale of periventricular hemorrhagic infarction for neurodevelopmental outcome at age 2 years.
Background:Diabetes and smoking are common factors found to increase platelet reactivity in patients undergoing primary PCI. Objective: Compare the individualized and combined effects of smoking and diabetes on the antiplatelet activity in patients undergoing primary PCI. Methods: sixty patients were recruited in this study. Patients were allocated to one of four groups according to the diabetes and smoking status. Non smokers- non diabetic patients, smokers non diabetic patients, non smokers diabetic patients, and smokers diabetic patients, 15 patients in each group. All patients received 180 mg ticagrelor before PCI. Platelet reactivity index(PRI) and maximum platelet aggregation were measured 24 hours after ticagrelor loading dose for each patient as indicators for antiplatelet efficacy. PRI and/or MPA values > 50% were defined as high platelet reactivity.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a combined troponin and copeptin assay can exclude non-ST+ ACS in patients with chest pain less than 6 hours old.
The CMOSS-2 trial is a government-funded, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. It will recruit symptomatic chronic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in patients with severe hemodynamic insufficiency. Only high-volume center with a proven track record will be included. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to best medical treatment alone or medical treatment plus bypass surgery. Primary outcome is ischemic stroke in the territory of the target artery within 24 months after randomization.
