Vascular Events In Patients Undergoing Same-day Noncardiac Surgery (VALIANCE) Study
The proportion of noncardiac surgeries performed as same-day surgery is increasing worldwide, with more complex surgeries being performed on higher risk patients in the outpatient setting. Little is known on the risk factors, incidence and prognosis of patients undergoing same-day noncardiac surgery. The main objective of this study is to …
Clinical Outcome and Cost-effectiveness of Reduced Noradrenaline by Using a Lower Blood Pressure Target in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock From Acute Myocardial Infarction
Rationale: Pump failure due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can lead to cardiogenic shock (CS): a state of low blood flow to end-organs with subsequent multi-organ failure that is associated with high mortality rated. The first line pharmacologic treatment strategy in CS is noradrenaline. This vasopressor drug is used to …
Establishing the Incidence of Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy in Scotland
Acute stress-induced (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) presents like a heart attack and is triggered by intense emotional or physical stress. Although coronary arteries are unobstructed, it has been suggested that the risk of death is similar to a myocardial infarction. The purpose of the STARR study is to identify all cases of …
Predictors for Survival and Good Neurological Outcome in E-CPR and Non CPR Treated Patients
In ECPR, where CPR times often range from 30 to 120 minutes, only patients with good circulation during CPR survive, while non-survivors commonly suffer from anoxic brain injury. The selection process during CPR is challenging causing a general survival rate of just 2 out of 10, and the urgent need …
Disparities in Myocardial Infarction Remodeling According to Gender
Following myocardial infarction, female individuals demonstrate a poorer prognosis, characterized by elevated rates of mortality and heart failure. A primary hypothesis suggests unfavorable cardiac remodeling in women. This remodeling, defined as alterations in cardiac size and shape post-infarction, necessitates repeated non-invasive imaging for study.
TIRANA-ACS: A Prospective Registry Study for the Targeted Investigation of Residual Inflammation After Non-ST/ ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor of mortality in patients following an episode of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Despite advancements in interventional cardiology and medical therapy, mortality remains significant in post-ACS patients, and early risk stratification is essential …
The EXCEL Registry of Patients Requiring ECMO
ECMO is associated with significant costs, risks and requires specialist training and expertise. EXCEL is a novel, high-quality, detailed prospective registry of patients requiring ECMO in Australia and New Zealand. The registry provides information on patient selection, complications, costs and patient reported outcome measures. EXCEL uses the Theoretical Domains Framework …
Echocardiography Versus no Echocardiography in S. Aureus Bacteraemia and VIRSTA Score < 3
Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of both healthcare-associated and community-acquired bloodstream infections worldwide. Infective endocarditis (IE) has been detected in 5-17% of cases and is a determinant of poor prognosis. The investigators developed a score (the VIRSTA score) based on patients' characteristics to rule out IE with high …
Aspirin Continuation or Interruption in Patients at Moderate Risk for Cardiovascular Events Undergoing Colonoscopy and/or Polypectomy
One in 4 adults between 50 and 80 reports taking regular aspirin. The prevalence of aspirin uses increases with age as well as co-morbid vascular diseases. Patients with cardiovascular diseases are at risk of developing colorectal neoplasms. In patients undergoing screening colonoscopy, interruption of aspirin is believed to be associated …
A Danish ICD-study in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Resuscitated from Ventricular Fibrillation
DanICD is a randomized, controlled study to with the aim to assess whether there is a benefit of ICD-implantation in patients with coronary artery disease (including acute myocardial infarction), who survive cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation/sustained ventricular tachycardia and undergo revascularization and with an LVEF above 35%.
