The objective of this study to determine the effect of mental imagery and task oriented training on Kinesiophobia in stroke patients. And to determine the association of Kinesiophobia with gait and balance in stroke patients. Patients will be divided into experimental and control group. Randomized participants will be allocated into control and experimental group. The experimental group will receive 20 minutes of MI training followed by 25 minutes of TOT for a total of 45 minutes, 5 days per week for 6 weeks.
Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the western world. The beneficial effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the evolution of ischemic heart disease are known, but the effects of rehabilitation on the metabolic processes of the patients are so far poorly understood. Metabolomics is the qualitative/quantitative analysis of the body's metabolic responses to pathophysiological stimuli or genetic alterations. Metabolic changes caused by physical activity have been demonstrated in obese and diabetic patients and in athletes. Aim of the study is to evaluate whether cardiac rehabilitation after a first myocardial infarction induces changes in the metabolic state of patients, and whether these changes may be related with changes in the usual risk factors (i.e. glyco-lipidic profile, natriuretic peptides, homocysteine).
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease. Strategies focused solely on glycemic control have failed to demonstrate vascular events reduction in this population. On the other hand, new antidiabetic drugs recently have demonstrated significant decrease of cardiovascular mortality, raising the hypothesis that possible effects beyond glycemia control could explain this benefit. Aim: This study is intended to evaluate possible pleiothropic effects of dapaglifozin, a SGLT-2 (sodium glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitor, in individuals admitted with a diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Individuals presenting with AMI whithin the first seven days of evolution will be randomized to dapaglifozin or placebo. The investigators's goal is to analyze platelet aggregability 48 hours after randomization (primary endpoint), as well as glycemic control, cardiac biomarkers, corrected QT interval electrocardiographic analysis, autonomic modulation through spectral analysis of the RR interval and inflammatory biomarkers at inclusion and 30 days after starting study drug (secondary endpoints). Sample size calculation resulted in 80 individuals (40 per group). Expected results: This study will seek to aggregate new insights to the current knowledge about this new antidiabetic drug class. Previous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, AMI or stroke, as well as Heart Failure (HF) hospitalization. Therefore, this study is supposed to clarify possible mechanisms that could explain these results aforementioned.
To explore the impact of early transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of acute functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction on the combined incidence of death and heart-failure associated hospitalisations at one-year follow-up, and quality of life and LV remodelling at two-year follow-up.
Using national health insurance service database, current study aim to evaluate the risk and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction in cancer patients and to find the optimal treatment strategy for acute myocardial infarction that can improve long-term prognosis.
Perioperative myocardial injury/infarction (PMI) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for PMI/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery disease have shown that colchicine administration can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. These encouraging results in non-surgical patients ask for a similar investigation in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the effects of perioperative colchicine administration on the incidence of PMI/MACE.
ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial infarction (STEMI) corresponding to acute occlusion of cornary artery is the most severe ischemic myocardial disease and a leading cause of mortality of heart failure worldwide. Although acute mortality from STEMI has decreased over the last decades, the prognosis remains pejorative and difficult to anticipate. The best management of STEMI patients depends of predictive factors of clinical prognosis and justifies an active research of these factors, in particular the mechanisms leading to deleterious left ventricular remodeling, myocardial inflammation, reperfusion injury including the no-reflow phenomenon which is a major determinant of heart failure. Cohorts of consecutive STEMI patients, with a comprehensive assessment of clinical, biological and imaging parameters are needed to offer the basis for new hypothese for research or interventions and to precisely evaluate the quality of care provided. The main objective of this study is to identify new markers: clinical, biological and imaging, treatment response and prognosis after STEMI. Secondary objectives of the CARAMBOLE cohort are to establish a comprehensive clinical databse, completed with biological samples and imaging data, that can be used in the following areas: - Descriptive epidemiology of STEMI and myocardial reperfusion - Evaluation of the clinical implications of the realization of a cardiac MRI at the acute phase of STEMI (regarding no-reflow, LVEF, intra cardiac thrombi) - Treatments observatory: safety, efficacy, indication of treatments provided in real life compared to the treatments recommended, adherence to treatments, costs - Quality of life, personal, familial, social and professional consequences of myocardial infarction - Research of new diagnostic and prognosis biomarkers - Research projects (e.g risk of developping cgnitive disorders in patients with STEMI as compared to the general population) Participants will undergo: - a cardiac MRI at the acute phase of their STEMI (5 +/- 3 days) then at 1 year follow-up - biological samples including blood, urinary and feces samples, at the acute phase of their STEMI (from admission and up to 8 days) then at 1 year follow-up - questionnaire assessment regarding their quality of life, cognitive status,and socio-economic conditions at the acute phase and 1 year follow-up of their STEMI.
AliveCor (www.alivecor.com) has developed several electrocardiogram (ECG) devices that interface with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets via various Kardia apps. The current Kardia family of devices can measure single lead and six limb-lead ECGs, depending on the device. KardiaMobile, KardiaMobile 6L, and KardiaMobile Card have FDA clearance for ECG rhythm recording. A modified single-lead Kardia smartphone 12-lead ECG was previously validated in the multicenter ST LEUIS study for the diagnosis of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Recently, AliveCor developed a new device: AliveCor (AC) 12-lead (12L) ECG System to record simultaneously 4 leads of ECG and then generate complete 12-lead ECGs. A previous protocol at the University of Oklahoma involved 200 subjects with early prototypes of the AC 12L device with the specific aim to validate that it accurately generated 12-lead ECGs as compared to simultaneously acquired FDA-cleared 12-lead ECGs. The prototype version of the AliveCor 12L ECG System simultaneously measured four channels of ECG (leads I, II, V2, V4), calculated the remaining limb leads as is standard for 12-lead ECGs (Leads III, aVR, aVL, aVF) and synthesized the remaining 4 precordial ECG leads (V1, V3, V5, V6). This protocol will serve to validate the production version of the system against standard 12-Lead ECGs for the diagnosis of STEMI and NSTEMI in patients admitted to the Emergency Department or directly to the Cardiac Cath Lab for the evaluation of chest pain. It is anticipated that the waveforms for each of the 12 leads from the AC 12L ECG System will be highly correlated with the corresponding leads from the comparator commercially available 12-lead ECG devices used at participating sites. The purpose of this study is to clinically validate that the four-channel AC 12L ECG device can enable the diagnosis of STEMI and NSTEMI in a non-inferior manner to existing 12-lead ECG devices.
