Filter by:In Denmark the vast majority of patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and/or type 2 diabetes are managed in general practice. 20% of the patients suffer from poor mental health. Problem-solving therapy (PST) is a psychotherapeutic method that is proven effective in adults with poor mental health. PST can be provided in general practice. The main objective of this study is to test effectiveness of providing PST to this group patients.
The purpose of this research is to see if Heart Health Yoga (HHY) Program when added on to standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) will improve overall wellbeing and quality of life for patients experiencing ischemic heart disease, heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries.
Early-Synergy investigates a diagnostic imaging approach in asymptomatic individuals from the general population for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. The diagnostic imaging approach consists of cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcium scoring (CT-CAC) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion imaging. Early-Synergy investigates the effect of early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction by CMR in asymptomatic individuals with increased CAC. In addition, the diagnostic yield of CMR for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction is investigated. Asymptomatic individuals at increased risk (CAC ≥ 300) are therefore randomized 1:1 to either CMR stress perfusion imaging or a control group.
Multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study comparing PCI guided by angiography versus iFR Co-Registration using commercially available Philips pressure guidewires and the SyncVision co-registration system, employing an adaptive design study for interim sample size re-estimation.
The purpose of the study: to increase the efficiency of diagnosis, treatment and prediction of the course of coronary heart disease in patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland, depending on the hormonal status by determining the cardiovascular risk factors, factors of angiogenesis, structural and functional state of the heart, coronary vessels, kidney damage and their pharmacological correction.
A computerized registry of cardiovascular disease patients in a large health maintenance organization in Israel. The registry is aimed to be used by health professionals to identify cardiovascular disease patients and to follow the courses of their illnesses and risk factors.
Enhanced external counter pulsation (EECP) is a procedure performed on patients with ischemic heart disease. The treatment improves physical capacity and relieves angina pectoris. It is suitable for patients with persistent angina pectoris despite and for patients not amendable for coronary revascularization. Some studies demonstrate a relationship between diastolic and systolic blood pressure ratio (d/s ratio) and the effect of EECP. The aim of the investigators study is to understand the effect of EECP on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function assessed by trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE). Hypothesis: EECP improves left ventricular systolic and diastolic function. There is a relationship between d/s ratio and aortic arterial stiffness EECP improves left ventricular diastolic function Standard TTE would be performed prior the EECP procedure, which lasts 60 min., and repeated every 15 minutes. Moreover the investigators would measure pulse wave velocity, a measure of aortic arterial stiffness, in order to investigate the relationship between the d/s ratio and arterial stiffness. The patients would be recruited among former study patients who have undergone EECP before. 20 patients with the best acoustic conditions would be selected and invited to enroll into the study.
Previous studies comparing on-pump and off-pump operating strategy did only partially demonstrate benefits of the off-pump myocardial revascularisation.In primary end-points (MI, death, renal failure, and so on) there was no significant difference, but in secondary end-points we observed benefits resulting for patients. We would like to show the benefit of the method without extracorporeal circulation in patients with higher and hight operation risk, coming from EuroSCORE classification system (6 points and more).
