The Effect of phoSPHocreatine on mEdical Emergency Team (Met) tREated Patients
Unexpected deaths and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions are common during hospital stay and are often preceded by warning abnormalities in patients' vital signs. These abnormalities trigger Medical Emergency Team (MET) activation and up to 15% of patients visited by the MET is admitted to the ICU with an …
Cytokine REmoval in CRitically Ill pAtients Requiring Surgical Therapy for Infective Endocarditis (RECReATE)
Infectious endocarditis (IE) and other severe infections are well-known to induce significant changes in the immune response including immune functionality in a considerable number of affected patients. In fact, numerous patients with IE develop a persistent functional immunological phenotype that can best be characterized by a profound anti-inflammation and/or functional …
Structured Shared Decision Making for Patients Undergoing SAVR or TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-established alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis regardless of surgical risk. While TAVR and SAVR share some of the benefits and risks, they importantly differ with regards to invasiveness, time to recovery, hemodynamics, …
The Role of Right Atrial Ectopy Triggering Ganglionated Plexuses in AF
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disturbance of the heart. It can affect people of any age but usually happens as we get older. It can cause palpitations, breathlessness, lethargy, and fainting attacks. It is also associated with an increased risk of strokes. The best treatment for it …
Colchicine After Electrocardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a 3 month treatment course of low-dose Colchicine decreases the recurrence of Atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrocardioversion (ECV) in patients with AF.
Ablation of Focal Activation in Atrial Fibrillation
Recurrent focal electrical activation (or ectopy) superseding sinus activation is the only mechanism proven to drive paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it has not been possible to show similar focal drivers during AF, owing to the limitations of mapping in persistent AF. RETRO-Mapping has been developed as a method to …
Antibacterial Tactics Based on Presepsin Level in Thoracic Aorta Surgery Patients
According to the literature, presepsin was recommended not only as an effective indicator in the diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care units, but also as a reliable prognostic marker of postoperative inflammatory processes in cardiac surgery. Previous study carried out in Petrovsky NRCS related to biomarkers in cardiac surgery and …
Neuroprotective Effect of Butylphthalide for Cardiac Arrest Patients
Cardiac arrest is one of the critical illnesses that is directly life-threatening, and patients who survive cardiac arrest develop severe neurological deficits or even die. The effectiveness of drugs to improve neurological function in resuscitated brain-injured patients has been a focus of research in the field of resuscitation. Butanephthalein has …
Cholesterol Self-testing in Patients Post Acute Coronary Syndrome
The pharmacological reduction of LDL-C lowers cardiovascular risk and is therefore a priority in cardiovascular secondary prevention. The achievement of LDL-C target levels in Germany, Europe, and worldwide is inadequate, despite a wide array of lipid-lowering medications. Only a small proportion of post-myocardial infarction patients reach their LDL-C target range …
ECG-less Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in the Management of Patients Presenting With High-troponin Chest Pain
Chest pain represents a common reason for consultation to emergency room. This symptom can be explained by a broad spectrum of conditions, from benign musculoskeletal or esophageal pain to life-threatening disease such as aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. There are already different diagnostic tools to quickly identify most …
