Evaluation of Valvular Heart Disease Using Cardiac CT
The EVIDENTIA Registry is a multicenter study designed to evaluate valvular heart disease (VHD) using cardiac CT. It aims to assess cardiac valve anatomy, function, and myocardial characteristics through detailed CT analysis. Assessing the accuracy of cardiac CT in evaluating cardiac structure, volume, function, and myocardium in VHD patients. Comparing …
Prognosis in Adult Patients with Congenital Heart Disease
This is a mono-center observational ambispective study in which adult patients with congenital heart disease evaluated at our institution will be enrolled. The primary endopoint is to assess the clinical and echocardiographic predictors of adverse events during follow-up (death, arrhythmias, cardiac hospitalization). The secondary endpoints are: 1) evaluation of the …
COVID-19 Vaccine-induced Inflammatory Heart Disease Prevalence Registry
Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory diseases of the myocardium and pericardium, and can be related to different causes, including vaccines. In the past, some people developed inflammatory heart disease after receiving a live or inactive virus vaccine (smallpox vaccine or flu vaccine). Myocarditis was also seen in people with COVID-19. …
Skin Pigment/Pulse Oximeter in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
Recent retrospective studies have demonstrated differences between pulse oximeter values (SpO2) and measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in patients identifying as Black or Hispanic. These retrospective studies have limitations because self-reported race is likely not an accurate metric for level of skin pigmentation and the retrospective nature of these studies …
Point of Care Ultrasound and Co-loading in Patients With Spinal-induced Hypotension and Cardiac Diseases
In elderly patients with cardiac diseases, changes in cardiovascular physiology diminish cardiovascular reserve and predispose to significant hemodynamic instability after spinal anesthesia; hence, such patients could be at risk of postoperative complications. Additionally, point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are used in clinical practice to evaluate cardiovascular …
Depressive Symptoms After Cardiac Surgery
The primary goal of this project is to develop a predictive model for clinically significant depressive symptoms (CSDS) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, using pre- and perioperative data. CSDS occur in about 30 percent of CABG patients, which is four times higher than in the general …
Cardiac Markers in Depressed Patients With Coronary Heart Disease - R01HL147862
Depression doubles the risk of death in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but so far, there is insufficient evidence that we can reduce the risk of death by treating depression. This study will investigate the cardiac risk markers that are associated with depression symptoms that remain despite treatment, and …
Pathophysiologic Mechanism for Arrhythmias and Impaired Aerobic Capacity in Tetralogy of Fallot and Other Congenital Heart Diseases
This study is being done to determine the mechanism(s) contributing to the onset of symptoms (i.e. shortness of breath and/or palpitations) as well as changes in heart structure in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD)
Predictive Value of Neurovascular Coupling in Infants With COngenital Heart Disease
Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for delayed neurodevelopment. Multiple etiological explanations have been proposed, as there seems to be a multifactorial interplay of both prenatal and perioperative factors. The main goal of this research project is to focus on peri-operative physiological risk factors in infants …
Atrial Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Patients With Repaired Congenital Heart Disease
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how well the investigators can visualize scar tissue in the heart by MRI. In patients with congenital heart disease who need a procedure in the electrophysiology laboratory, how the MRI findings match the findings in the electrophysiology laboratory is …
