This project will be based on nursing scholar Dorothea Orem's self-care theory, integrating the concept of the \[life essential 8, LE8\] proposed by the American Heart Association, as well as our team's recent research findings. We aim to develop educational materials and tools tailored for this group, termed \[Self-Care Eight …
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 …
Patients undergoing non-emergency coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) are included. All patients will be examined for transthoracic echo, blood samples will be collected, and an overnight sleep polygraph will be performed in a qualified sleep laboratory twice: once before CABG and again after surgery
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 …
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 …
ORBITA-SOLAR is an invasive physiological cardiac catheterisation study that aims to determine whether different coronary stenoses have different angina thresholds. The angina threshold is defined as the amount of coronary flow reduction required to reproduce symptoms. Sixty patients with symptoms of stable angina and 2 coronary artery stenoses amenable to …
Despite improvements in the treatment, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Around 20% of people who have suffered a heart attack (myocardial infarction) need to be hospitalized again within a year, and 10% experience another heart attack. Despite currently available medication, patients remain …
This study is being done to observe the effects of treatment from a device called the Bioboosti which utilizes pulsed electromagnetic waves on its ability to improve blood flow to the heart tissue in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major cause of mortality and long-term neurological disability worldwide. Despite advances in resuscitation, many survivors suffer from post-cardiac syndrome encompassing PCAS brain injury (PCABI), due to primary (ischemic) and secondary (reperfusion) injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic response, and persistent underlying causes. PCABI plays a critical role …
This study will test if a sustained Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest is more frequent when patients receive advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) alone or when they receive ACLS plus a balloon occlusion of the thoracic aorta.
