Hypertonic Lactate After Cardiac Arrest
The study is intended to test the hypothesis that sodium lactate infusion after resuscitation from a cardiac arrest will decrease the magnitude of brain damage, as measured by the serum biomarker concentration of NSE.
Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Evaluation After Surgical Correction of Aortic Regurgitation
Investigators assume that surgical correction approach to functional mitral regurgitation during intervention for chronic aortic regurgitation in patients with severe enlargement of the left heart chambers influences reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in the postoperative period. It is suggested that functional mitral regurgitation (MR) provides supra-physiological left ventricle …
GLS in Difficult CPB Weaning
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether global longitudinal strain (GLS), measured by echocardiography, can predict difficulty separating from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can preoperative GLS measurement predict difficult separation from CPB? Are GLS …
Cohort Study - SBRT for VT Radioablation
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) contributes to over 350,000 sudden deaths each year in the US. Malignant VTs involve an electrical "short circuit" in the heart, formed by narrow channels of surviving tissue inside myocardial scar. Current treatment for VT consists of either implantable defibrillators (ICDs), suppressive drug therapy, catheter ablation or …
Long Term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation -The LOCATE Registry
The purpose of the Long term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (LOCATE) Registry is to perform long-term ambulatory monitoring of patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and develop new onset conduction system abnormalities post-procedure that do not require urgent permanent …
The Effects of 360-degree Virtual Reality on Pre-procedural Anxiety in Patients Awaiting Elective Cardiac Surgery Involving a Sternotomy
Rationale: Patients awaiting cardiac surgery can experience pre-procedural anxiety. This anxiety is associated with increased analgesic needs, increased risk of mortality and prolonged recovery time. Adequate patient education can help diminish pre-procedural anxiety and minimize postoperative complications. Recent studies have demonstrated that Virtual Reality (VR) can function as a useful …
Peri-Procedural Transmural Electrophysiological (EP) Imaging of Scar-Related Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) contributes to over 350,000 sudden deaths each year in the US. Malignant VTs involve an electrical "short circuit" in the heart, formed by narrow channels of surviving tissue inside myocardial scar. An important treatment is to use catheter ablation to "block" the channel that forms the circuit. …
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Metabolomics and Cardiac Mechanics in Chronic Kidney Disease
The goal of this study is to better understand the effects of a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, added on to standard of care on heart and lung function and circulating metabolites (substances created when our bodies break down food, drugs, or its own tissues) in patients with chronic …
Electronic Cardiac Rehabilitation (eCardiacRehab) Feasibility Study
In Norway, more than 11,000 patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) annually. However, a very recent study utilizing registry data show a national average of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation of only 14%, despite its proven beneficial effects on readmissions, physical capacity, psychological distress, self-management, and quality of life. CR is …
Dapagliflozin in STEMI
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of SGLT2i in limiting infarct size in patients with STEMI referred for PPCI. Eligible STEMI patients enrolled into the trial will be randomized to a SGLT2i or placebo. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging will be used to …
