The development of symptomatic heart failure is frequently preceded by a pre-clinical period of structural remodeling in the heart. The remodeling process driving this transition, however, remains poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that imaging the diffusion of water in the heart with MRI will allow its microstructure to be resolved. …
This study investigates a new way to diagnose severe heart attacks in patients who have a specific electrical heart pattern called a Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB). When patients present to the emergency department with chest pain, doctors routinely perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for a heart attack. However, …
The purpose of this research study is to validate (check the accuracy of) laboratory assays, intravenous catheter insertion, and equipment or devices and their reproducibility, which is necessary to perform high quality research on chronic diseases, nutrition, and metabolism (the process by which a substance is handled in the body) …
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease. Strategies focused solely on glycemic control have failed to demonstrate vascular events reduction in this population. On the other hand, new antidiabetic drugs recently have demonstrated significant decrease of cardiovascular mortality, raising the …
The Western diet, rich in fat and sugar, contributes to cardiovascular risk and alters the body metabolism, specifically through the modulation of the microbiome. Microbiome is considered the "second genome", functioning as an endocrine-like organ. Gut microbiota-derived metabolites, namely trimethylamine- N-oxide and short-chain fatty acids have been associated with atherosclerosis, …
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. Several components will be assessed such as quality-of-life, nutritional counseling, maximum metabolic activity (MET's), diabetic management, tobacco cessation, lipid, blood pressure, and psychosocial management. These tasks will be accomplished …
