Filter by:Overall objective: To understand the feasibility of performing a randomized trial using a simple, minimally-invasive postural therapy approach to improve sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
Researchers are trying to develop innovative strategies that target the early identification heart and lung imbalances in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
The investigators established a national cohort of Chinese ARDS with Acute CorPulmonale to enable prospective observational studies. The goals are the following. First, morbidity and mortality rate of ARDS with ACP in the ICU across Chinese mainland. Second, forming the diagnostic ultrasound strategy of ARDS-ACP, namely TRIP procedures. And predictive value of diagnostic strategy for ACP or prognosis of ACP were calculated. Third, comparison of ventilator parameters for ACP and non-ACP or survivor and non-survisors, which reaveald that of inappropriate mechanical ventilation on circulation and prognosis. Screening for risk factors of ARDS with ACP.
This is an open-label, single-center study to examine distinguishing features of the structure and function of the oral and gut microbiome in volunteers with PH in the breakdown of oral nitrate and effect on hemodynamics.
Mortality and morbidity remain high after non-cardiac surgery. Known risk factors include age, high ASA grade and emergency surgery. Point-of-care focused cardiac ultrasound may elucidate pathology and potential hemodynamic compromise unknown to handling physicians. This study aims to investigate the effects of focused cardiac ultrasound in high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with respect to clinical endpoints.
The study hypothesis is that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may have long-term effects on respiratory muscle (RM) function, thus leading to reduced exercise capacity later in life. The objective is to investigate the above hypothesis by comparing RM function and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters between school-aged children exposed to IUGR and healthy controls.
The objective of this study is to investigate the cardiopulmonary health effects of indoor air purification and different indoor environmental factors among school students in Beijing.
Aim: To investigate whether patients with pulmonary hypertension have reduced absorption capacity compared to COPD patients without cor pulmonale potentially due to venous obstruction in the portal vein system. The presence of cor pulmonale was determined by echocardiography. The concentration of D-xylose and zinc were measured in peripheral blood one, two and three hours after ingestion and used as markers of absorption. Furthermore, urine was collected for five hours to determine the amount of excreted D-xylose.
This study evaluates the effect of external diaphragmatic pacemaker on the patients with chronic cor pulmonale. Half of participants will receive external diaphragmatic pacemaker, while the other half will receive routine therapy.
This is a randomized controlled trial of the feasibility and utility of implementing a smartphone application (MVN) to maintain compliance with a Heart Healthy lifestyle after discharge from a cardiac outpatient rehabilitation program. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups: usual care (control: UC) or Movn mobile application (intervention: MVN). This study will improve and strengthen data collection from this at-risk patient population by recording baseline clinical and psycho social measures while gaining insight into self-reporting of physical activity and frequency between the UC and MVN groups.
