The leading cause of birth defects, Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) affect 12 million people worldwide and 41,000 newborns/year in Europe. It's a major cause of life-long morbidity and mortality, and a crucial public health issue. More than 50% of childs born with critical CHD will develop Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDs), requiring …
This is a prospective observational substudy of the STEPCARE trial ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05564754) with the aim to examine whether prognostication of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest can be performed earlier than the 72 h time-point recommended by guidelines today.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a public health problem for which overall survival is below 10%. Post-cardiac arrest syndrome is the principal cause of death in intensive care units (ICU), due to refractory shock or brain injuries secondary to anoxia. Brain anoxia is responsible for severe neurological sequelae that may be …
Study is conducted to assess the prevalence and structure of comorbidity among patients undergoing abdominal surgery and produce the stratification of the risk of postoperative complications by identifying independent predictors for its development.
Rationale: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death worldwide. To improve cardiovascular care, research is needed. Current guidelines are mainly based on well controlled RCT's, though evaluation of the impact of such RCT's in the real world is missing. In order to evaluate the impact and to …
Patients who have survived a myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. A severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a rough overall measure of impaired heart function after MI was shown to indicate a higher risk …
The purpose of this observational study is to investigate whether myocardial scar characteristics assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can predict the risk of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) after myocardial infarction (MI). It aims to answer two primary questions: What is the association between CMR-assessed myocardial scar and post-MI …
Cerebral lesions are responsible for two thirds of deaths in patients admitted to intensive care following cardiac arrest. Patients with neurological lesions should be the priority target for neuroprotective interventions, which are the cornerstone of post-cardiac arrest care (allowing a reduction in the burden of care for patients without this …
Adiponectin (Ad) is an abundant protein in human body, and reports have shown that it act as a novel risk factor for brain and heart ischemia injury. This 5 years follow-up study will focus on serum adiponectin concentration, activity and isoforms in Chinese population and its correlation to these diseases.
Despite the year-on-year decrease, coronary artery disease (CAD) still remains one of the leading cause of mortality worldwide. With advances in technology and our understanding of cardiac disease, we can now treat CAD using minimally invasive interventional techniques. This has revolutionised treatment for and improved the lives of many patients …
