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 …
In patients with heart failure due to a reversible underlying cause-such as valvular heart disease or coronary artery disease-surgical or procedural correction of the underlying lesion (valve repair/replacement, TAVI, PCI, or CABG) frequently leads to spontaneous recovery of cardiac function, even without neurohormonal modulators. In this clinical setting, a substantial …
Heart Failure (HF) is a complex disease associated with the highest burden of cost to the healthcare system. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is instrumental in determining the prognosis of patients with HF. This multicentre study will validate whether aggregate biometric data from the Apple Watch combined with demographic, cardiac, …
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.
Less than 10% of patients eliciting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survive, although 30% can be resuscitated by Emergency services before admission in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The majority succumb to Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS). PCAS is associated with high mortality (60-70%) and morbidity. One proposed method of preventing the neurological …
Among patients admitted after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in intensive care unit (ICU), almost two thirds of patients will develop in the first hours a post-cardiac arrest (CA) shock. This post-CA shock, combines cardiac and hemodynamic failure, generally resulting in multi-organ failure and early death in up to 35% …
The metabolism of the heart provides the chemical energy needed to fuel ongoing normal heart contraction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique used in a MRI scanner that can be used to measure and study heart metabolism directly but without blood sampling or obtaining tissue biopsies. One of the hypotheses …
