Electronic Cardiac Rehabilitation (eCardiacRehab) Feasibility Study
In Norway, more than 11,000 patients undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) annually. However, a very recent study utilizing registry data show a national average of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation of only 14%, despite its proven beneficial effects on readmissions, physical capacity, psychological distress, self-management, and quality of life. CR is …
Right Ventricular Compensation With Sotatercept: A Prospective Single Arm Open Label Phase 4 Study to Evaluate the Effects of Sotatercept on Right Ventricular Function in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (RECOMPENSE)
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease characterized by vascular remodelling resulting in elevated pressures in the pulmonary artery (PA). This elevated pressure ultimately leads to fulminant right heart failure. Current therapeutic options are limited and are centred around vasodilatory medications such as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and prostacyclin. While these …
Quantifying 18kDa TSPO Expression in the Lung in Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH)
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the TSPO PET signal (measured with the radioligand \[11C\]PBR28) in the lungs of patients living with PAH relative to age matched controls. If so, TSPO PET may be a useful technique to non-invasively monitor response to …
Comorbidities Resolution After MGB Surgery and Change in Body Composition
This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after …
Validation of a Patient Knowledge Questionnaire for Pulmonary Hypertension
This methodological study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire named for the Assessment of Patient Knowledge in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. The study will be conducted in four phases: (1) questionnaire development based on guidelines and literature; (2) content validation by expert judges; (3) semantic validation with patients; and (4) …
Validation of a Machine Learning Predictive Model to Distinguish Post-capillary Pulmonary Hypertension
In this study the diagnostic accuracy of a diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of post-capillary pulmonary hypertension will be investigated. The diagnostic tool was designed based on artificial intelligence, using machine learning on a database of 344 patients with group 1 or group 2 pulmonary hypertension. The tool uses 20 …
129 Xenon Imaging in Patients Treated With Sotatercept
Determine the ability of 129Xe MRI/MRS biomarker signatures to non-invasively monitor pulmonary vascular reverse remodeling induced by sotatercept in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Gut Microbiota in Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery is an emerging option to treat obesity-related metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes) and prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic surgery can profoundly alter the gut microbiota; meanwhile, gut microbiota may affect surgical outcomes. Longitudinal studies that examined pre- to post-surgery changes in gut microbiota and its relation to …
Blood Pressure Slopes and Ultrafiltration in Hemodialysis Patients
Kidney failure has been recognized as one of the most costly chronic conditions among United States Veterans. Approximately 13,000 Veterans develop kidney failure each year, and most require hemodialysis initiation. Hemodialysis patients suffer significantly increased risk of death and hospitalizations, and excessive body fluid is a major cause of this. …
Human/Machine Interface: What the HeartMate 3 ® Device Tells Us About the Future
Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) …
