Long Term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation -The LOCATE Registry
The purpose of the Long term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (LOCATE) Registry is to perform long-term ambulatory monitoring of patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and develop new onset conduction system abnormalities post-procedure that do not require urgent permanent …
Technological and Patient-tailored Innovations for Maximizing Effectiveness of Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects 275,000 people in Europe every year. In Italy alone, 50,000 people experience OHCA annually, with only 9% surviving. Half of the survivors suffer severe brain damage. Immediate CPR and defibrillation by bystanders before the ambulance arrives can save lives, but often, CPR starts only when …
Study of Circulating Monocytes in Patients With Ischemic Vascular Disease
The purpose of this research study is to discover the functions of circulating white blood cells, called monocytes, and associated circulating substances in heart attack and ischemic stroke patients. Ischemic Strokes (clots) occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. A type …
Immunoinflammatory Response in Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS)
This is a prospective, observational study to investigate molecular mechanisms mediating the systemic inflammatory process, and changes to metabolism, and their impact on brain injury, survival, and functional outcomes after cardiac arrest. Investigators have shown that cardiac arrest induces changes in the numbers and properties of circulating immune cells, shifting …
Comparing N-terminal-proB-type Natriuretic Peptide With Other Criteria in Pleural Fluid Analysis
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
The Sarcopenia Study
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with Heart Failure. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether there is a difference in the prevalence of sarcopenia across the spectrum of HFpEF (Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) and HFrEF (heart …
Biomarkers of Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries
Around 10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) present with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) which pathophysiology is often uncertain. The aim of the study is to evaluate inflammation and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers in MINOCA patients during both acute and stable phases, comparing them with those with MI and obstructive coronary …
Flecainide in Idiopathic Premature Ventricular Contractions and Related Cardiomyopathy
The UNIFLECA study is a prospective, single-arm, observational cohort evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of flecainide (in the form of Sanocard) in adults with frequent idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and suspected PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PVCi-CMP). Frequent PVCs-defined as a burden >5% on two separate 24-hour Holter recordings-are increasingly recognized …
Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction Assessments in Myocardial Infarction With Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries
To compare clinical outcomes of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) according to the coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT), invasive and non-invasive coronary physiologic assessment.
COronary Re-engageMent aFter randOm NavitoR alignmenT (COMFORT STUDY)
Whereas PCI before TAVR was previously recommended despite its uncertain prognostic role, recent data underline the possibility of a postponed coronary intervention using a commissural alignment technique. This approach allows easy coronary re-engagement through the valve stent frame with a trade off paid of procedure complexity. Considering the prevalence of …
