Propranolol Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax
Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after open heart surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). While it was thought to be mechanical injury to the thoracic duct, recent research demonstrated that there are intrinsically abnormal lung lymphatics in CHD patients, and after open heart surgery, the fluid …
Use of ReDS Technology in Patients With Acute Heart Failure
Background: Fluid overload, especially pulmonary congestion, is one of the main contributors into heart failure (HF) readmission risk and it is a clinical challenge for clinicians. The Remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) system is a novel electromagnetic energy-based technology that can accurately quantify changes in lung fluid concentration noninvasively. Previous non-randomized …
Optimizing Beta Blocker Dosage in Women While Using the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator
The primary objective of this pilot study is to document the percentage achievement in effective HR control (average nighttime HR \< 70 bpm) during WCD use in a cohort of female patients with cardiomyopathy in an outpatient setting using continuous heart rate (HR) trends data from the WCD to optimize …
Neuromuscular Fatigue During Exercise in COPD-HF Overlap
Rationale. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) coexist in approximately one third of patients presenting with one of these conditions. From a clinical standpoint, impaired tissue oxygen (O2) delivery stands as a common pathological mechanism of these cardiorespiratory diseases. Recent evidence suggest that muscle and cerebral blood …
IEEM-Heat and Heart Failure
We will test the hypothesis that increasing skin wetness, and thus evaporative cooling, will attenuate the increase in core body temperature and accompanying cardiac stress during heat wave conditions in individuals with congestive heart failure. Secondly, we propose that wearing a water-saturated T-shirt will also be beneficial to attenuate the …
The 3D Stent Study
The goal of this observational study is to assess the diagnostic performance of 3D Stent to detect stent under-expansion in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The main question it aims to answer is: The study hypothesis is that 3DStent technology will offer a comparable assessment of stent expansion compared to …
⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET/CT for Cardiac Fibrosis in Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with increasing incidence and prevalence, associated with high morbidity, mortality, and economic impact, despite therapeutic advances. Myocardial fibrosis is a common feature across different pathophysiological processes and plays a key role in HF development, with growing research interest specifically in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy …
Vascular Complications After Kidney Transplantation
To determine the incidence of arterial inflow problems and venous outflow problems as causes of impaired renal function and/or treatment-resistant hypertension after kidney transplantation, when all kidney-transplant recipients in Denmark are evaluated according to uniform, well-defined clinical criteria. To investigate the efficacy and safety of catheter-based balloon treatment (percutaneous transluminal …
Comparison Between a Robotic Tele-echo-cardiography Technique and a Standard Echocardiography in the Management of Heart Failure in the Guadeloupe Archipelago Between the University Hospital of Guadeloupe and the Marie-Galante Hospital
The TERdeblue-S study is a feasibility study of robotic remote echocardiography, not only in terms of technology but also in terms of its integration into a telemedicine system to improve access to the heart failure management system in the Guadeloupe archipelago. The main objective of this study is to study …
Coronary Flow During Rapid Heart Rates
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the factors which determine how well ventricular tachycardia (VT) is tolerated. The main questions it aims to answer are: What impact does coronary artery disease have on the ability for a patient to tolerate VT? Does treatment of coronary artery …
