Care Coordination to Assess Improvement in Outcomes in Hospital Readmissions
Heart failure is a syndrome that is defined by distinctive clinical, hemodynamic, and neurohormonal findings. HF represents a final common pathway for many different cardiovascular diseases, including coronary disease, hypertension, Valvular disease, and many primary heart muscle diseases. Clinically, HF patients experience dyspnea, fatigue and diminished exercise tolerance, reflecting elevated …
Landiolol in Mitral Valve Surgery
Chronic mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular abnormality worldwide, it occurs in 10% of the general population and its prevalence increases with age. When left untreated, it can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and cause disabling symptoms (e.g., fatigue and dyspnea), life-threatening complications (e.g., ventricular dilation, congestive heart failure) …
Coated or Chewable Aspirin and a Hybrid Strategy to Mitigate Adverse Effects of Air Pollution in Stable Atherosclerotic Disease
Although both enteric-coated and plain formulations of aspirin are being used commonly, there are no high-quality comparisons between these formulations with respect to clinical efficacy outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Air pollution is also a major contributor to the excess risk of cardiovascular events in many regions …
Bicarbonate for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
This is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind, superiority trial of sodium bicarbonate during adult in-hospital cardiac arrest. There will be 22 enrolling sites in Denmark. 778 adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest receiving at least one dose of adrenaline will be enrolled. The primary outcome is return …
Remote Ischaemic Conditioning in STEMI Patients in Sub-Saharan AFRICA
The RIC-AFRICA trial is a multi-centre, sham-controlled, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial (RCT) involving 1200 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients presenting within ≤ 24 hours of myocardial infarction (MI) onset, across approximately 20 sites in four sub-Saharan African countries (South Africa, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda). Patients presenting with STEMI and …
Prospective Deployment of a Cardiac Arrest Response System (EDICARS) in the Emergency Department
Based on data from the American Heart Association's (AHA) Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation (GTWG-R) registry, the incidence of adult treated in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) was about 10 per 1,000 bed-days (290,000 patients per year), and 15 to 20% of adult IHCA patients survived to hospital discharge (i.e., ~80% mortality). Despite …
Optimal Ventilation for Cardiac Arrest
Pediatric cardiac arrest is a life-threatening problem affecting >15,000 hospitalized children each year. Less than half of these children survive to hospital discharge, and neurologic morbidity is common among survivors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the OPTI-VENT bundle to improve survival to discharge with …
Strategies for Defibrillation During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
The "Strategies for Defibrillation during Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest" (STRAT-DEFI) trial is an investigator-initiated, individually randomized, 3-group clinical trial comparing standard anterior-lateral pad positioning with anterior-posterior positioning and double sequential defibrillation during adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Early Amiodarone in Shockable Cardiac Arrest
The primary objective of this pilot, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate if a modified cardiac arrest treatment algorithm calling for the administration of the initial amiodarone dose one 2-minute cycle earlier than current guidelines (during the same cycle as the initial dose of epinephrine) improves the time …
GOREISAN for Heart Failure (GOREISAN-HF) Trial
The objective of the GOREISAN-HF trial is to assess the effect of the administration of Goreisan (TJ-17) plus standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone on the improvement rate of cardiac edema and clinical outcomes in worsening congestive heart failure with volume overload.
