Filter by:Multicenter randomized clinical trial with two arms in patients hospitalized for an AMI nested in the Frenchie registry. Periodontal therapy is performed by periodontists in the intervention group versus treatment by dental surgeons as part of their usual practice in the control group. For the intervention group, periodontal management will be carried out for a maximum of 6 months after randomisation, prolonged by a follow-up of 6 months including a maintenance visit at M9. All patients will have an FDG-PET at M0 and M12 for evaluation of inflammation on carotid atherosclerotic plaques.
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-group, target-value clinical study. The primary safety end points are major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCE) 30 days after device implantation. The primary efficacy end point is the end of left ventricular systolic volume index (LVESVI) reduction at 6 month. The secondary observational end points includes immediate success rate of the procedure, all-cause mortality, cardiac death, rehospitalization rates and MACCE occurrence rate within 12 month. Besides, left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI) change at 30 days,12 months, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), 6 minutes walk test, heart function evaluation (NYHA classification) and quality of life (EQ-5D) at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months will also be evaluated. After statistical hypothesis and sample size estimation, the sample size of this clinical trial was 117 cases. All subjects were followed up 30 days, 6 months and 12 months after implantation of the Heartech® left ventricular partitioning device. All relevant clinical data were managed by professional data management center, and all relevant clinical data were statistically analyzed by third-party statistical center.
This innovative study will address scientific and clinical areas relatively unexplored in chronic stroke that could lead to greater recovery of walking. Ischemic Conditioning (IC) is a non-invasive, simple procedure that improves motor function, exercise performance and cardiovascular function in healthy controls, but it has never been applied to the stroke population. We postulate that IC enhances the recruitment of motoneurons and results in positive neural adaptations, improves vascular endothelial function and peripheral blood flow, and together these improvements result in an increased capacity to exercise and faster walking speed. Future studies will examine the effects of IC and traditional therapy at different time points of recovery post stroke, durability of IC, molecular mechanisms of neural and cardiovascular adaptation and the efficacy compared with other adjuncts.
The investigators intend to evaluate Oxidative Stress biomarkers through a. Catalase Activity Assay; b. Lipid Peroxidation Assay; c. SOD Assay; d. Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay; e. Glutathione Peroxidase at patients with acute myocardial infarction STEMI referred for primary PCI; The investigators also aim to evaluate cardiac necrosis by measuring Heart Fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP), TnI, CK, CK-MB, LDH and AST in these patients with acute myocardial infarction referred for primary PCI; Also, the investigators intend to evaluate body composition through bioimpedance spectroscopy (BCM - Fresenius Care) at the moment of admission. The investigators aim to fully characterise these patients through oxidative millieu, hFABP and make correlations with LVEF dysfunction.
The study intends to evaluate the efficacy of early rhBNP on myocardial remodeling and reperfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention
The investigators performed a randomized controlled trial with investigator-masked design enrolling subjects with acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to find a treatment strategy to reduce the risk of recurrence of myocardial infarction through oral hygiene improvement.
A non-MD-led adult education program consisting in 10 one-hour sessions designed to provide information and motivation will be offered to patients who have recently been hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI), regarding the management of their treatment and strategies to aggressively optimize control of cardiovascular risk factors.. The intervention arm will be compared to a control group of patients treated with usual care.
This study research the similarity of coronary artery lesions according to HLA tissue compatibility in fisrt degree relatives of the patients who just admitted clinic as Acute coronary syndrome and underwent angiyography before .
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a well-known disorder of upper airways collapse during sleep time leading to oxygen desaturation and sleep fragmentation. Despite being increasingly recognized as cardiovascular risk, the effect of OSA on clinical outcomes after Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is not fully defined. Also, OSA syndrome is highly prevalent in ACS and may be related to the deterioration of cardiac function resulting in worsening of the severity of sleep apnea or the intermittent hypoxia could be cardio-protective via the ischemic preconditioning event. Serial sleep studies have shown the progressive reduction of the Apnea / Hypopnea Index (AHI) from the admission in Coronary Care Unit (CCU) to 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6-month follow up, making necessary to re-assess the severity of OSA after discharge. Therefore, further research in this field is necessary to screen and predict those ACS patients who may experience a change in their AHI index over time.
Precise identification of the infarct scar is essential for successful catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic myocardial infarction. Voltage mapping of endocardial electrograms is currently used to delineate the necrotic scar but this is influenced by the direction of the activation wave front and is not sensitive enough to differentiate distinct degrees of transmural injury in the scar. Mapping of local myocardial electrical impedance may overcome these limitations.
