Phenotyping Heterogeneity and Regionality of the Aorta
The aorta distributes cardiac stroke volume into the whole body through its finetuned conductance function, that is propagation and modulation of flow pattern. Physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall assure continuous and homogenous blood flow distribution to organs. The physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall are heterotopic: The collagen/elastin ratio …
Implementing Spiritual Care in Inpatient Palliative Care
The goal of this observational study is to is to ascertain the spiritual needs of palliative patients in a standardized manner using the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire and to promptly address those needs by (specialized) spiritual care. To determine whether the effort of implementing the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire on a sustainable …
Chronical Illness-related Limitations of the Ability to Cope With Rising Temperatures, Third Wave
The CLIMATE-III Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific health behavior, somatosensory amplification, risk and benefit perception, self-efficacy, health literacy, and the degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district are associated with these effects. Study …
The Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Speckle Tracking Imaging in Septic Cardiomyopathy
The aim of this study is to explore if STI technology, especially TMAD, plays an important role in evaluating left ventricular longitudinal systolic function and discriminating SICM in patients with sepsis. The investigators also intend to prove that TMAD may have predictive value in patients with sepsis, which is worthy …
Sepsis in the ICU-II
Sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction (SIMD) is a well-known phenomenon yet its diagnosis remains elusive with no accepted definition, or defining pathophysiological mechanism associated with this disease. Systolic dysfunction occurs in 20-70% of patients, and may be severe, yet does not appear to have any prognostic value for mortality. Diastolic function has …
Role of Aortic Valve Composition in Pathophysiology and Diagnosis of Aortic Stenosis
The study aims to evaluate composition differences of aortic valves in different stages and phenotypes of aortic stenosis using non-invasive imaging and histology.
Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Evaluation After Surgical Correction of Aortic Regurgitation
Investigators assume that surgical correction approach to functional mitral regurgitation during intervention for chronic aortic regurgitation in patients with severe enlargement of the left heart chambers influences reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in the postoperative period. It is suggested that functional mitral regurgitation (MR) provides supra-physiological left ventricle …
Frailty, Physical Capacity and Lung Function in Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Patients
The goal of this observational and prospective study is to investigate changes in physical performance, lung function, and respiratory and peripheral muscle strength in patients during the postoperative period following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve replacement surgery..
Non-invasive Coronary Thrombus Imaging to Define These Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify what causes the heart attack and can sometimes pick up other conditions that cause a strain on …
Resting Energy Expenditure and Substrate Consumption in Cardiac Arrest Patients Under Target Temperature Management
This study is a single-center, prospective, observational study. According to the sample size formula, an estimated 40 cases should be collected, all of whom are from the emergency intensive care unit. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the enrolled patients will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized …
