We will be looking into participant eligibility, acceptability, recruitment rates, completion rates and barriers to implementing a prehabilitation programme. Secondary outcomes include safety (incidence of …
Effectiveness of Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Among Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study is to assess the level of glycemic control and the incidence of surgery-related complications in cardiac patients post-surgery when Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is utilized, as compared to traditional methods of arterial/venous blood sampling and Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) for glucose monitoring.
Therapy to Maintain Remission in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
One third of patients diagnosed with heart failure demonstrate left ventricular reverse remodelling and recovery of cardiac function following a period of medical therapy. The TRED-HF trial investigated the impact of therapy withdrawal in this cohort and found that 40% of patients relapsed within 6 months of stopping treatment. In …
