Filter by:This observational study investigates whether the daily measured trend of cardiac output as evaluated by indirect calorimetry correlates with the same evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) with and without left ventricular (LV) unloading in patients being treated for non-postoperative cardiogenic shock (CS). The main aims of the study are: 1. To determine the physiologic effects on cardiopulmonary congestion of adding LV unloading to VA ECMO 2. To determine the effects on myocardial function of adding LV unloading to ECMO 3. To test the effects on myocardial recovery of adding LV unloading to VA ECMO Participants who are being treated with VA ECMO will be randomized to receive or not receive LV unloading in the form of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Over the course of the study, the investigators will obtain measurements via lab work, echocardiography, and pulmonary artery catheter that will allow comparison of the two groups.
This is an investigator-initiated, single-center, single-arm prospective study to compare non-invasive hemodynamic assessment using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and lung ultrasound (LUS) and hemodynamic assessment using PAC. Patients who have been hemodynamically assessed using PAC will be invited to participate. Each patient will undergo TTE and LUS immediately after first invasive assessment, and again daily after PAC assessments.
This study aims to determine, via skeletal muscle ultrasound (US), the extent, timing and relationship between skeletal muscle mass loss and outcomes after orthotropic heart transplantation (OHT) and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation amongst patients with cardiogenic shock. Advanced therapies such as OHT and VADs in the heart failure (HF) population may promote skeletal muscle mass and subsequent quality of life, but there is a lack of literature assessing muscle mass changes in HF patients before and after advanced therapies using US imaging. Therefore this observational study will provide further insight into the 1) changes in lean body mass during critical illness and 2) the feasibility of using bedside US to assess lean body mass in the inpatient setting.
This study focuses on a population of adult patients placed under peripheral Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock, primarily caused by myocardial infarction, is associated with a high mortality rate that remains around 50%, despite advancements in the field of coronary reperfusion. VA-ECMO is a rapidly growing cardiac support technique worldwide. Its goal is to improve peripheral organ perfusion even as myocardial damage continues, thereby enhancing the prognosis of patients with severe multiorgan failure. VA-ECMO is a temporary cardio-respiratory support technique based on the principle of extracorporeal circulation. However, patients under VA-ECMO are at risk of experiencing various complications, including infectious, thromboembolic, hemorrhagic complications, or malfunctions of the ECMO machine itself, with the incidence increasing with the duration of assistance. Numerous authors and scientific reviews highlight the increased risk of Acute Pulmonary Edema (APE) in patients under peripheral VA-ECMO, attributing it to the elevation of afterload induced by retrograde arterial reinfusion against the residual native blood flow, hypothetically leading to an increase in Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP). This phenomenon is presumed to intensify as the VA-ECMO reinfusion rate increases. Furthermore, APE under ECMO-VA represents a turning point in the patient's course. Brechot et al. demonstrated that patients who developed APE under VA-ECMO had a prolonged ECMO duration, a higher reliance on mechanical ventilation, an extended stay in critical care, and a higher mortality rate compared to patients who had previously undergone a left ventricular unloading technique (aimed at reducing PAOP and the risk of APE). However, until now, no physiological study has assessed the specific effect of the variation in peripheral VA-ECMO flow on the change in PAOP during a dedicated protocol. It is with the aim of addressing this question that the investigators are considering the PAPO-Flow study.
This protocol proposes to prospectively evaluate current epidemiology, pharmacologic and invasive management and clinical outcomes of patients with acute cardiovascular diseases admitted at our ICCU.
Imported Impella The price is relatively expensive and difficult for ordinary patients to afford. In order to better meet the growing clinical needs in China, Anhui Tongling Bionic Technology Co., Ltd. has developed an interventional left ventricular assist system. The test device was tested in preclinical animals It has shown good effectiveness and safety. Through the implementation of this clinical trial, the interventional left ventricular assist system The safety and effectiveness of the system for hemodynamic support in patients with cardiogenic shock have led to further development of this product in the country.
This is a registry of the patients that are admitted to CICU and treated by the Scientific Staff of the 2nd Department of Cardiology, due to an acute cardiovascular disease (acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade etc) in order to investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients, their outcome, identify the factors that could predict the in-hospital mortality and compare the results with the predicted by established risk scores. Furthermore, the study will investigate the one-year mortality and also the major adverse cardiac events (MACE - acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death) will be measured.
This study aims to compare the impact of hemodynamic monitoring using pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) on survival and inotropic agent reduction in patients with cardiogenic shock caused by heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The investigators also intend to compare the difference in long-term survival rates among patients who have recovered from cardiogenic shock due to HFrEF, based on the timing of initiation of beta-blocker treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and clinical usefulness of a mechanical support strategy with the impella device.
