Filter by:In this study, the effects of regional anesthesia method applied in patients who will undergo percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for lower extremity revascularization will be investigated comparatively.
Background: Although exercise training is a well described therapy for some cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, and metabolic syndrome, there is scarcity of knowledge about the post-exercise period term as 'detraining' where usually all physiological adaptations as cardiovascular and metabolic benefits are lost due to physical inactivity. Likewise, as some exercise training modalities as high-intensity interval training improve vascular parameters including endothelial dysfunction parameters as flow-mediated dilation (FMD%), and carotid-intima media thickness (c-IMT) during the 'training' period, there is little knowledge about how many 'volume' or 'intensity' of exercise training or physical activity per week is needed to maintain the exercise training benefits in populations with cardiometabolic risk factors such as those patients with arterial hypertension. This information will be of great interest for both improving and maintaining the vascular profile and health of Chilean adults with risk factors and to maintain a better vascular profile. Objective: To study the beneficial adaptations from the 'training' and 'detraining' period of exercise training on functional and structural vascular parameters in healthy and cardiometabolic risk factors adult subjects to improve the health profile. Methods: The investigators will conduct an experimental design of 5 groups of exercise training in healthy (controls) and hypertensive (HTN) patients (≥140 mmHg), with overweight/or obesity, men and women, with BMI ≥25 and ≤35 kg/m2, aged ≥18y, physically inactive (<150 min/week of low/moderate PA/week, or <75 min/week of vigorous PA) in the last 6 months will be invited for participating. The groups will be as follows; Group (HTNex will be compared with Group HTNcg). Group (ELEex will be compared with Group ELEcg). Group (NTex will be compared with Group NTcg). Each group will be compared in their physiological vascular adaptations before and after exercise training such as HIIT, and after 3 months of a detraining period. Results (hypothesis): The investigators hypothesized that the maintenance of vascular outcomes after the 'detraining' period is intensity-dependent in adults with HTN that participated of an exercise intervention.
The aim of the study is to analyze the applicability (usability) of a tele-health service as part of a potential disease management program for patients with peripheral arterial disease. The following investigations will be conducted as part of the usability study. In the context of a tele-health service, knowledge, physical condition (including walking distance) will be documented during face-to-face and televisits, dislocated supervised gait training and education will be provided, and satisfaction with the tele-health service will be evaluated.
This randomized study focuses on the diagnostic quality and safety of CO2 application as contrast medium through an innovative injector of AngioDroid in angiography interventions in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive diseases.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in developed countries [1] and is an emerging problem in developing countries [2, 3]. The prevalence of PAD in European population studies ranged from 3.6 to 9.2 % and 10-20 % in those aged over 70 years [4]. In a recent meta-analysis, the prevalence of PAD in China increased gradually by age until mid-60s, after which the increase accelerated. In the early stages, PAD is mostly silent. With the progression of disease, it may manifest as intermittent claudication, pain at rest, non-healing ulcer and gangrene resulting in lower-extremity amputation [5]. PAD is a major cause of disability, loss of employment, and lifestyle changes, and is a marker for systemic atherosclerotic diseases. Patients with symptomatic PAD have at least a 30% risk of death within 5 years rising to almost 50% within 10 years, resulting primarily from myocardial infarction or stroke [4]. Despite the major health risks associated with PAD, it is generally not recognized by clinicians or the general public in comparison with other cardiovascular diseases. However, asymptomatic individuals also have higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events similar to those with symptomatic PAD [6]. Many studies have shown that public awareness of PAD is much lower than that of other diseases. It has been reported that awareness of PAD ranged from 20 to 36 %, whereas awareness of other common diseases was more than 60 % in the same population [6-9]. Awareness is important for patients and physicians, and the need for public awareness programs has been highlighted [10, 11]. There is paucity of published literature on public awareness of PAD in Asian countries. It is difficult to reduce the morbidity and mortality of untreated PAD without adequate public awareness of PAD and its risk factors and consequences [7]. Insights into public awareness of PAD will help in developing strategies for behavioral change communication and health promotion. In this study we aimed to assess awareness of PAD among adults in Hong Kong. The survey is designed to measure knowledge of factors that increase the risk for PAD and the clinical risk consequences of having PAD. These data will provide useful information to guide future local public cardiovascular educational efforts.
POLYTHESE® study is a retrospective, observational, multicentre, case series which examine short and long-term outcomes of using POLYTHESE®. This study will be done on Real World Data to describe the safety and performance of the device. PMCF Study.
The objectives of this study are: Evaluation of ultra-low iodine load CTA protocols of the aorta and lower extremities. To investigate whether dual-layer in combination with with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) allows for reduction of contrast medium (CM) in CTA of the aorta and lower limbs i with sustained objective and subjective image quality parameters.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the pain level patients after angioography. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces pain levels and stabilizes hemodynamic variables.
The rationale of this study is to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of any of these products in a real-word population of 100 patients who underwent an endovascular intervention within standard-of-care (SOC) of the infra-popliteal vessels, using at least one of the products (named above) from Cordis US Corp.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate acute safety and efficacy of the S.M.A.R.T. RADIANZ™ Vascular Stent System, when used with the BRITE TIP RADIANZ™ Guiding Sheath and SABERX RADIANZ™ PTA Balloon Catheter, to deploy the S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent, in the treatment of patients with obstructive iliac or femoropopliteal arterial disease via radial artery access.
