This prospective cohort study evaluates differences in clinical outcomes between pulmonary oligemia and pulmonary plethora in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease and univentricular heart physiology undergoing staged palliation culminating in the Fontan procedure.Fifty-two patients will be classified into two groups based on pulmonary blood flow characteristics and followed for …
This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial aimed to determine whether preoperative sleep interventions could reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes, such as postoperative delirium, in sleep-disordered infants and toddlers undergoing congenital heart surgery. The study will include infants and toddlers undergoing elective cardiac surgery with sleep disorders, assessed …
The investigators goal is to determine whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be utilized in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. For the study participants the investigators will recruit patients who have been referred to myocardial perfusion PET/CT scan in Kuopio University Hospital. The participants will perform the CPET on a …
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a drug (in the drug class called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors) in women who have symptoms of ischemic heart disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does blood flow in the heart improve with study …
Children with congenital heart defects are far more likely to suffer a cardiovascular arrest and be in the need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation than healthy children or those with diseases of other organ systems, especially after cardiothoracic surgery. Due to a lack of data, the exact number of resuscitations in this …
The investigators are aiming to investigate the association between ejection fraction (EF) determined by echocardiography and signals obtained from Photoplethysmography (PPG) in the general population. The investigators are also aiming to investigate the association between blood pressure and signals obtained from PPG in the general population. Finally, the investigators are …
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterised by partial or total obstruction of the oro-pharyngeal carrefour during sleep. It is found in between 4% and 25% of the general population and in 40 to 80% of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard …
Nowadays, no studies compare the T-stenting And Minimal Protrusion (TAP) and External Minicrush techniques in treating complex coronary bifurcation, so eventually, procedural, clinical and safety differences remain unknown.
Why Is This Study Important? The heart has valves that help control blood flow. Aortic regurgitation (AR) is a condition where one of these valves (the aortic valve) doesn't close properly, causing blood to leak back into the heart. Over time, this makes the heart work harder and grow larger …
In this study, the doctors will follow a set of rules that is called an algorithm. An algorithm is a step-by-step approach that doctors use to guide them when making decisions about the best way to treat their patients. Algorithms are useful because they help doctors decide on the best …
