Cardiac Performance During Steep Trendelenburg Position in Patients Undergoing Robotic Surgery Surgery.
The field of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery increases all the time. Older and more fragile patients which are not suitable for major open surgery could be scheduled for robotic- assisted surgery. The peroperative anesthesiological challenges and stresses during this type of surgery could anyway be even more prominent. The extreme positioning …
Associations Between the Microbiome, Skeletal Muscle Perfusion, and Fitness Status
The purpose of the study is to determine associations between fitness status, bacteria in the mouth, and the blood flow to muscle. This study is trying to find out if fitness status impacts the bacteria that are present in the oral microbiome (environment in the mouth) or the ability of …
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 Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Kidney Disease in HFpEF With Obesity
This research study wants to learn about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with Obesity, and Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and better ways to evaluate these diseases. HFpEF means that the heart is not able to fill properly with blood while it is resting so the amount of blood …
Evaluation of the Impact of Interventional Treatments for Symptomatic, Severe Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency on Renal Integrity and Function, as Well as on Physical Function and Activity in Older Adults.
The hypothesis is that renal function will improve following tricuspid valve intervention. A reduction in renal biomarkers is also expected. Furthermore, based on previous assessments, it is anticipated that there will be an improvement in volume status (reduced edema), symptom burden, and physical capacity in patients. Additionally, the study will …
Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Treatment With MitraClip and Assessment by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of LV myocardial fibrosis extent assessed by CMR on LV reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes post TEER. The target sample will be up to 125 patients enrolled to achieve 100 evaluable at 6 months of follow-up. Enrollment will …
Temporary MCS With the iVAC 2L Transaortic Device in High-risk PCI
Patients with coronary artery disease and undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at increased risk of hemodynamic instability and poor outcomes. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices may offer hemodynamic stabilization during PCI, potentially improving short- and long-term outcomes. The study rationale is to investigate the safety and clinical efficacy …
Noninvasive Cardiovascular Diagnosis of Patients With Fully Magnetically Levitated Blood Pumps
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy has become a well-established treatment option for endstage heart-failure either as a bridge to transplant (BTT) or destination therapy (DT). Monitoring of the pump and with this the cardiac status with the HeartMate 3 (HM3) is currently very limited to infrequent log-files with one …
Cardiomyopathies and Heart Muscle Diseases: Cardiac Imaging in the Evaluation of Myocardial Fibrosis Transition
Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not …
Pharmacy-led Transitions of Care Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital …
