Filter by:Recently, a predictive model has been developed to assess the risk of myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest (MICA) during and after surgery using the American Society of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. In this MICA model, 180 hospital databases were used in 2007 and 2008 and included more than 200 000 patients. The Gupta score developed with this MICA model identified five predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest: type of surgery, functional status, creatinine increase (>130 mmol/L or >1.5 mg/dL), age, and American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. The Gupta score is presented as an interactive risk calculation program in the 2014 guideline of the ACC/AHA. The risk can be calculated simply and accurately at the bedside or clinic. The Gupta score is in spreadsheet format and can be downloaded online at http://www.surgicalriskcalculator.com/miorcardiacarrest. Unlike the previously used indexes, a scoring system has not been established. An estimate of the probability of myocardial infarction/cardiac arrest is provided for individual patients. In this study, the primary aim was to compare the frequency of cardiology consultation requests according to the use of the Gupta score. The secondary aim is to evaluate the perioperative clinical results (coronary angiography, ECHO, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, 30-day mortality, etc.).SPSS 21.0 (Version 22.0, SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) program will be used for statistical analysis. After applying the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, the student's t-test will be used if the distribution is normal, and the Mann-Whitey U test will be used if the distribution is not normal. Fisher's exact test or chi-square test will be used for categorical variables. Results p<0.05 will be considered significant.
To investigate the prognostic impacts of the atrial fibrillation burden (AFb) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who developed paroxysmal new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) during the index AMI hospitalization.
A multicenter randomized double-blind placebo parallel control design was used in this study.60 subjects eligible for inclusion will be randomly assigned to either a low-dose (0.25ug/kg) medium-dose (0.5ug/kg) high-dose (2.0ug/kg) experimental drug group or a control group (placebo) at a ratio of 1:1:1:1.After randomization, subjects received the experimental drug or placebo once a day, intravenously, on day 2 to 7, 12 hours and 4 hours after PCI.Ninety days after PCI were observed.
The Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium (GCVRC) comprises harmonized data from nearly 1.7 Mio individuals of 126 cohorts across 43 countries and aims to elucidate the distribution of five major cardiovascular risk factors (body mass index, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, current smoking, and diabetes) and their impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) by geographical region and sex.
Numerous studies have explored the effects of environmental exposure to noise, air pollution and proximity to "natural" areas on various conditions. However, very few studies have focused on the "post-diagnosis" follow-up of patients after hospitalization for an ischemic cardiovascular episode and, to our knowledge, none have examined patient evolution at one year after myocardial infarction. Thus, the real influence of factors and pollutants widely represented in the urban environment, in particular air pollution, noise pollution, and proximity and accessibility to natural areas ("green" or "blue" spaces), on the evolution of post-myocardial infarction at one year remains to be identified and quantified. The objective of the ENVI-MI project is to evaluate the impact of environmental exposure in the place of residence (noise, air pollution, proximity to "natural" spaces) on the evolution of post-myocardial infarction at one year within the Dijon metropolitan area.
Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) proved their favorable outcomes in heart failure. However, it is still unknown if their role extent into preventing heart failure, especially after acute myocardial infarction. This study aimed at identifying if there is such role for SGLT2i.
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent the formation of blood clots in people who have or have had: - an irregular and often rapid heartbeat - a blocked blood flow to the heart - a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. When a blood clot forms in the body in patients with the above conditions, it may block vessels of the heart, the brain and/or other parts of the body. This may lead to heart attack, stroke and other serious complications. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. This is a complex series of steps that must occur in a specific sequence. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. They work by interrupting one or more of the coagulation steps and are therefore known as anticoagulants. They decrease the risk of the above-mentioned complications. The study treatment asundexian works by blocking a very specific step in the blood clotting process, the activation of a protein called Factor XIa. Due to its very specific action that is not thought to be involved in the main blood clotting steps needed to stop bleeding (e.g. like from a cut finger), asundexian is expected to reduce the risk of bleeding that is still seen with existing anticoagulants. Since people who need an anticoagulant may also have liver problems, information on asundexian use in this group is needed. The main purpose of this study is to learn how asundexian moves into, through and out of the body in participants with a mild or moderate reduction in liver function compared to participants with normal liver function who are similar in age, weight, and gender. To answer this question, researchers will measure - the average highest level of asundexian in the blood (also referred to as Cmax) - the average total level of asundexian in the blood (also referred to as AUC). that were reached after intake of a single tablet of asundexian. The researchers will compare these data between participants with reduced liver function and matched participants with normal liver function to look for differences. Each participant will be in the study for up to 4 weeks. Participants will stay in-house for 6 days, starting the day before taking asundexian. In addition, two visits to the study site are planned. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - do physical examinations - check vital signs - take blood and urine samples - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
The goal of this pilot study is to use total body PET/CT imaging to examine the relationships between stress, amygdala activation, and arterial wall inflammation in participants before and after participating in a multi-modal stress reduction program.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of culprit-first versus culprit-last percutaneous coronary intervention on the door to balloon time and clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
