Myocarditis is a complex inflammatory disease, usually occurring secondary to viral infections, autoimmune processes or toxic agents. Clinical presentations are multiple, including chest-pain, heart failure and a broad spectrum of arrhythmias. In turn, outcome is largely unpredictable, ranging from mild self-limiting disease, to chronic stage and progressive evolution towards dilated …
Heart attacks caused by the complete blockage of a heart artery are treated by opening it with a stent. However, most people will also have 'non-culprit' narrowings found in their other arteries at this time. Although in general people do better if these non-culprit narrowings are also treated with stents …
Existing guidelines recommend a duration of antibiotic treatment of endocarditis of 4-6 weeks one or more types of intravenously administered antibiotics. The long hospitalization increases several risks for the patient, including mental strain and increased loss of function. Furthermore, it poses a significant financial burden on the health systems. Current …
The burden of endocarditis has changed in the last years due to an increase in percutaneous valve procedures offered to a more fragile, and old population. Therefore an update in epidemiology data is necessary. The Observational prospective multicenter study to characterize the cLinical ANd DiagnoStiC feAtures of endocarditis in the …
The objective of this study is to determine if early parametric positron emission computed tomography is useful to diagnose cardiac prosthetic valve infections.
This study will validate a coordinate-based 3-dimensional echocardiographic technique for the assessment of cardiac size and function in children and young adults with functional single ventricles.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether acute stress can precipitate congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation in patients with CHF.
The aim of this study is to perform a pilot study investigating the first attempt intubation success rate differing between video laryngoscope nasotracheal intubation and direct laryngoscope nasotracheal intubation. The study population will consist of 60 neonates and infants with congenital heart disease less than 1 year of age who …
The goal of this randomized control trial is to learn about physical fitness and exercise habits in children aged 10-17 with the Fontan Circulation through a home-based, digital exercise intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a home-based, digital intervention increase physical activity (PA) in youth with …
Randomized, controlled, unblinded, adaptive design clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PolyCore (Polydextrin, L-Carnitine, D-xylitol) peritoneal ultrafiltration (PUF) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
