Effect of Different Breathing Techniques on Dyspnea and Cardiopulmonary Parameters Among Patients After Open Heart Surgery
Open heart surgery is often associated with postoperative pulmonary complications, reduced lung expansion, dyspnea, and impaired cardiopulmonary function. Breathing exercises are commonly used after surgery to improve lung ventilation, enhance oxygenation, and support respiratory recovery. However, limited evidence is available comparing the effectiveness of segmental breathing exercises and active cycle …
Aerobic Exercise-induced Effect on Endothelial Function in Patients With Ischaemic Heart Disease
Endothelial dysfunction is one of the aetiological factors in ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Aerobic exercise is effective in improving endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD), in patients with IHD. Within the aerobic exercise methods, there is evidence showing that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases FMD to a greater …
Oregano and Basil Leaves and Coronary Artery Disease
The present study will examine the effects of increasing dietary polyphenol intake by consumption of oregano and basil leaves, on plasma inflammatory and lipid factors and total urinary polyphenol levels in patients who have recently had unstable angina.
Influence of Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy on Myocardial Ischemia
This study is being done to observe the effects of treatment from a device called the Bioboosti which utilizes pulsed electromagnetic waves on its ability to improve blood flow to the heart tissue in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Canagliflozin Targeting Vascular Inflammation
CANTOR SING is a pilot single center double blinded randomized study. The investigators will compare the effect of canagliflozin (300 mg daily - intervention arm) vs. placebo (control group) on the FDG aortic uptake in patients with stable CAD (over 60 days post-myocardial infarction) after a 6-month period of treatment. …
Hyperpolarized 13C Pyruvate-MRI and FDG-PET in a Single Exam for the Prognosis of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
This prospective, non-blinded, single-center, translational research study aims to validate a multimodal advanced imaging exam for cardiac viability. The protocol utilizes three distinct imaging modalities: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (SPECT MPI), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 (HP-13C) Pyruvate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Under …
4-electrode ECG (DigitalCardio®) vs Standard 10-electrode ECG: Evaluating Ease of Use and Recording Quality
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the time required to record a complete Electrocardiogram (ECG) trace using the DigitalCardio (CardioSecur®) tablet device versus a standard 12-lead ECG device in eligible patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in diagnostic recording time …
Prognostic Value of Hyperpolarized 13C MRI for Clinical Myocardial Viability
Heart failure due to coronary artery disease represents a significant cause of mortality. The detection of patients eligible for bypass surgery is a pivotal concern. Nevertheless, the optimal approach for patient selection based on conventional imaging scans remains unclear. The proposed method (Hyperpolarized 13C MRI) has gained extensive use in …
The Effects of Tirzepatide in People With Overweight/Obesity and Coronary Artery Disease
The objective of this study is to investigate, as a proof-of-principle, long-term (52 weeks) effects of tirzepatide once-weekly vs. placebo on changes in coronary plaque composition and progression (assessed by NIRS), plaque burden (assessed by IVUS) and microvascular function (assessed by invasively measured CFR) in overweight and obese individuals with …
Optimal Strategy to Correct Stent underexpAnsion in Resistant Lesions
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) accounts for 5-10% of PCI. ISR may be linked to mechanical complications mainly under-expansion (UE), neointimal hyperplasia and/or neoatherosclerosis. International guidelines recommends non-compliant and very-high-pressure balloons, which lead to sub-optimal angiographic and clinical results. Recently, observational studies have suggested the feasibility and …
