Natural History of Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Background: \- Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension (NCPH) is caused by liver diseases that increase pressure in the blood vessels of the liver. It seems to start slowly and not have many warning signs. Many people may not even know that they have a liver disease. There are no specific treatments for …
Spectroscopic Assessment of Myocardial Oxygenation Changes in Pediatric Heart Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the ability of the SpectroCor Tissue Oxygenation Monitor and its accessory SpectroCor Sensor to observe and monitor changes in cardiac oxygen availability in pediatric patients during open-heart surgery. Patients of less than 18 years old who, and whose guardian(s), when applicable …
Comparing Direct vs Indirect Methods for Cascade Screening
An important aspect of successful genomic medicine implementation is developing effective approaches for screening at-risk family members after probands are identified, also known as cascade screening. Most cascade screening studies conducted to date have been conducted outside the US, and very few studies have used a rigorous approach involving a …
High Intensity Interval Training in Patients With a Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Conduit
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a specific type of exercise training (high intensity interval training) can improve exercise capacity in people with a congenital heart defect that required the creation of a new connection between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. This includes people with …
Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Mutation Analysis
The goal of this protocol is to obtain information from individuals with cardiomyopathy and from their families in order to elucidate the molecular genetics of this disorder. This will provide the basis for future genetic counseling as well as contribute to elucidating the biology of normal and abnormal cardiac function.
Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Italian Registry
The CMR/CT WG of the Italian pediatric cardiology society set up a multi-center observational clinical database of repaired-TOF evaluated. This registry will enroll prospectively patients evaluated by CMR for clinical indication in most of the CHD Italian centers. Data collection will include surgical history, clinical data, imaging data, and also …
Long Term Effects of Oral Versus Transdermal Estrogen Replacement Therapy in Turner Syndrome
This 14-month, phase IV, randomized controlled crossover trial aims to compare the effects of oral versus transdermal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in women with Turner syndrome (TS). The study's objectives are to clarify endocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular, and thromboembolic risk factors in TS after a wash-out period without estrogen (E2) treatment; …
Determining Dose Equivalence Between Oral and Transdermal Estrogen Treatment in Women With Turner Syndrome
This 5-week, phase IV randomized crossover trial aims to compare the effects of oral versus transdermal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in women with Turner syndrome (TS). The objective is to establish the equipotency between the two estradiol regimens by evaluating various estradiol-dependent surrogate markers. The study involves 50 women with …
European Prospective Registry on Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Coronary Arteries
Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a group of rare congenital heart defects with various clinical presentations. The lifetime-risk of an individual living with AAOCA is unknown, and data from multicentre registries are urgently needed to adapt current recommendations and guide optimal patient management. The European Registry …
