Impact of FDG-PET/CT on Management of Patients With Native Valve Infective Endocarditis
The proposed study is a multicentric prospective observational cohort study of patients with suspected NVE. The study population includes those with Possible IE according to the modified Duke criteria and investigated at one of the 6 participating sites which include 2 cardiac centers, the MHI and the IUCPQ, as well …
Transcatheter Interventions for Tricuspid Insufficiency in Italy
This is an observational, multi-center, retrospective and prospective study collecting data about patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in a real world clinical environment. The aim is to report clinical characteristics, procedural results and short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions in Italian centres.
Betalactam Pharmacokinetics in Endocarditis Patients
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is associated with mortality rates of 10-12%. Adequate antibiotic therapy is crucial for survival and is administered in high doses due to the severity of the disease. In most cases, beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin, penicillin G, cefotaxime or cloxacillin) are employed. A number of patient characteristics, such …
Accuracy of Metagenomic Blood Sampling to Identify Pathogen in Infective Endocarditis Patients
Infective Endocarditis is an infection, usually a bacterium, which attacks the heart and can cause valves to leak and produces a bacterial mass which can break off from the valves and block the blood supply to important organs. We are very keen to improve the treatment of this disease and …
Assessing the Right Heart Remodeling After Transcatheter Tricuspid Edge-to-edge Repair
In the recent years, secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) has gained interest due to its high prevalence and impact on outcomes. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement or repair represents novel and less invasive alternatives to surgery and has shown early promising results. Treatment options mimic surgical techniques such as leaflet approximation, direct …
Application of Comprehensive Non-invasive Assessment To Phenotype Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly recognized valvular heart disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. With the availability of various novel transcatheter tricuspid interventions, it is no longer considered a "forgotten valve." Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent condition also characterized by high morbidity and …
Prospective Multicenter Registry of Patients With Mitral Stenosis Undergoing Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Commissurotomy
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the clinical outcomes after percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMBC) for patients with mitral stenosis (MS) using nation-wide multicenter prospective registry including tertiary-referral hospitals in Korea. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the clinical outcomes after PMBC? …
The Incidence, Clinical Characteristics and Outcome of Infective Endocarditis Among Intravenous Drug Abusers Versus Non-Drug Abusers.
We aim to describe the incidence of IVDA among patients presented with IE, describe their clinical, psychiatric and microbiological characteristics in comparison to non - IVDA, as well as the rate and types of complications and outcome, and responsiveness to medical treatment or surgical intervention.
Practice Change With Drug-coated Balloon in Patients With multiVessel Coronary Artery Disease
This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, observational study to investigate the impact of using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of coronary artery lesions in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD), as opposed to the default strategy of using only drug-eluting stents (DES). The investigators aim to assess …
Prospective Evaluation of Asians With CRT for Heart Failure
Aim:To determine the baseline characteristics of heart failure patients in Singapore undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT); the long term outcome and predictors of response to CRT. Methodology:Among patients undergoing CRT for severe heart failure according to indications stipulated in international Cardiology guidelines, baseline demographic data is collected. Age, gender, NYHA …
