To observe and identify determinants of recovery from intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) following a severe cardiorespiratory failure requiring extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Additionally, to discover the effects of ICUAW on physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after critical illness. CLEVERER is a clinical observational pilot study.
The aim of this study is to learn about the safety of empagliflozin in dialysis patients as a preparation for a future large clinical trial. Empagliflozin has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of either type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease among …
The present study evaluates patients after interventional therapy of valvular diseases of the right heart. Follow-up examinations include medical history taking, laboratory measurements and an echo. The aim is to assess the different interventional therapies and their impact on patient's outcome.
Patient with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries and takotsubo syndrome often have high levels of stress and anxiety. At present there are no treatment alternatives in this group of patients. Previously, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), primarily aiming at relieving stress, has been shown to decrease morbidity in patient with …
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an acute condition that accounts for 75% of sudden deaths in adults over 35 years of age and more than half of all cases of chronic heart failure. However, the mechanism of myocardial infarction remains poorly understood. At present, there is no national information …
Despite a decrease in voltage amplitude in post-infarction scar areas, greater voltage amplitudes are sometimes observed at the time of local extrasystoles mechanically induced by catheters. However, no study has investigated whether these electrical changes are associated with mechanical changes in local contractility. However, the voltage is closely correlated to …
People often experience the acute phase of a myocardial infarction as a stressful and traumatic event that seems lifethreatening. Such anxiety, pain and stress can lead to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder in the long run. Previous studies suggest that there might be a relevant percentage of people developing …
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a pericardial adipose graft transposition (Adipose Graft Trasposition Procedure, AGTP) for the improvement of cardiac function in patients with a chronic myocardial infarction. Preclinical studies in the porcine model of myocardial infarction have shown that the AGTP reduces infarct …
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of a vegetarian diet on innate immunity of patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction and healthy participants. Also, we will assess the willingness to adapt a more vegetarian eating habit. Study subjects will follow a vegetarian diet for …
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if there are significant differences with respect to baseline between those randomized to CGo and standard-of-care versus standard-of-care alone after completing 12-weeks of therapy in terms of peripheral endothelial function measured by EndoPAT.
