Strategy for Prompt and Effective Thoracentesis in the Emergency Department
The SPEEDTAP-trial is a prospective, randomised, investigator-initiated, multicenter, clinical superior trial investigating two thoracentesis methods in four emergency departments (ED) in Central Denmark Region. Patients are randomised to either manual fluid removal in the ED or passively fluid drainage using gravity in the radiology department (standard of care). Primary outcome: …
Quantifying New Heart Muscle Cells
Regenerative therapies could provide new ways of treating heart failure. Unlike many organs in the human body, such as the skin and the GI tract, the ability to regenerate heart muscle decreases after birth, but the precise timing of this decrease and how this decrease is altered in heart disease …
EVOLVING AZIMUTH IN MUSA CONTEXT
Non-pharmacological, randomized, nonprofit medical device intervention. The study aims to identify the positive impacts (co-creation), and negative impacts (co-destruction), resulting from the use of telemedicine, and, in particular, the telemonitoring service for patients with heart failure
Cardiac Rehabilitation and Coronary Artery Disease
Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) aged 40-70 years will undergo exercise training (thrice weekly for 12 weeks). A reference group composed of healthy individuals will be included. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline and after the intervention period during two visits. During the first visit, carotid artery thickness will …
Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to Reduce Hospital Length of Stay in Patients With Heart Failure ( POCUSHF )
This study will evaluate whether using bedside ultrasound (also called Point-of-Care Ultrasound or POCUS) can help improve the care of hospitalized patients with decompensated heart failure. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: one group will receive ultrasound-guided assessments, and the other group will receive standard clinical evaluations. Researchers …
Evaluating DyNamic Myocardial Blood Flow QUantitation As a Cost Effective Care ModeL for DiabEtic Patients With Coronary Artery DiSease
This will be a prospective randomized clinical trial comprising of n=300 diabetic patients, randomized to either dynamic (n=150) or conventional MPI (n=150) strategy. Healthcare resources utilization of each patient will be tracked. Patients will be followed up for short term outcomes and for long term outcomes.
Intracoronary Cryotherapy Effect on Stabilization of Vulnerable Plaque in Patients with (N)STEMI or Unstable Angina
The POLARSTAR study is an early safety and feasibility study to evaluate the performance and safety of the CryoTherapy System (CTS) for the treatment of coronary plaque lesions that are not obstructing blood flow but are at high-risk of rupture which would cause a major heart attack. The CTS is …
A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Core Exercise, Aerobic Exercise, and Combined Exercise in Patients Undergoing Phase II Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended after myocardial infarction (MI) or heart failure (HF), yet the added value of core muscle endurance training within CR remains uncertain. This randomized, three-arm trial will enroll 60 adults with stable MI or HF who are referred to Phase II CR. After consent and baseline …
A SkeleTal Muscle Recovery Intervention With Dietary Protein in Heart Failure
Severe skeletal wasting and catabolic weight loss are highly common among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare changes in the muscle mass in the arms and the legs (appendicular lean mass) in patients with HFrEF randomized between 3 groups of …
Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography Guidance Vs. Angiography Only Guidance for Treatment of Coronary In-stent Restenosis
Although advances in drug-eluting stents (DES) have substantially reduced the risk of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) and the need for target lesion revascularisation (TLR), ISR persists. There are several treatment options for ISR (conventional balloon angioplasty, cutting or scoring balloons, drug-coated balloons, repeat DES implantation or bypass surgery). Coronary imaging …
