Infectious endocarditis (IE) and other severe infections are well-known to induce significant changes in the immune response including immune functionality in a considerable number of affected patients. In fact, numerous patients with IE develop a persistent functional immunological phenotype that can best be characterized by a profound anti-inflammation and/or functional …
Recurrent focal electrical activation (or ectopy) superseding sinus activation is the only mechanism proven to drive paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it has not been possible to show similar focal drivers during AF, owing to the limitations of mapping in persistent AF. RETRO-Mapping has been developed as a method to …
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a 3 month treatment course of low-dose Colchicine decreases the recurrence of Atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrocardioversion (ECV) in patients with AF.
Cardiac arrest is one of the critical illnesses that is directly life-threatening, and patients who survive cardiac arrest develop severe neurological deficits or even die. The effectiveness of drugs to improve neurological function in resuscitated brain-injured patients has been a focus of research in the field of resuscitation. Butanephthalein has …
The CardioClip study is exploring the use of a wireless sensor to monitor pressure in the pulmonary artery. This sensor is inserted much like the mTEER procedure, a non-surgical method through a vein in the groin. The investigators want to find out if the sensor, by constantly sending information about …
Butylphthalide (NBP) is a neuroprotective medication capable of ameliorating neurological dysfunction induced by ischemia, hypoxia, and reperfusion injury in the brain. However, evidence regarding the improvement of neurological function prognosis in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA) by NBP is limited. This study aims to …
Chest pain represents a common reason for consultation to emergency room. This symptom can be explained by a broad spectrum of conditions, from benign musculoskeletal or esophageal pain to life-threatening disease such as aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. There are already different diagnostic tools to quickly identify most …
It is a spontaneous, observational cross-sectional and single-center imaging (CT and MRI) study, coupled with clinical-laboratory data. Patients with acute chest pain with low/intermediate probability of coronary artery disease, ECG and/or troponin not diagnostic or altered according to the current "standards of care" used in the ED/Department (ESC Guidelines 2020), …
A prospective, single-arm, multi-centre registry to evaluate the safety and performance of Myval THV series using Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure in patients with symptomatic severe native aortic valve stenosis.
Patients with a suspected myocardial infarction are subdivided into ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI and NSTEMI, respectively) using ECG. While patients with STEMI are urgently referred to a cath lab, patients with NSTEMI usually undergo a planned invasive coronary angiography (ICA) anywhere from 24-72 hours after arriving to the …
