Hydrogen's Feasibility and Safety as a Therapy in ECPR
The purpose of this project is to test the feasibility and safety of inhaled hydrogen gas (H2) administration as a rescue therapy during cardiac arrest requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR, i.e. mechanical circulatory support). Under exemption from informed consent, patients undergoing refractory cardiac arrest in the cardiac ICU at a …
Aspirin Dose Comparison in Elderly PCI Patients: 30mg vs. 75mg in Acute Coronary Syndrome
Elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) face a high risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic complications necessitating antiplatelet therapy. Previous data indicate that even at a dose of 20-30 mg/day, aspirin (ASA) allows almost complete inhibition of thromboxane (TX) A2 biosynthesis in healthy volunteers. However, ASA at a dose …
Pharmacy-led Transitions of Care Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital …
Auricular Vagus Stimulation and STEMI
At the moment, the invasive strategy for the infarct-associated coronary artery in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) necessary to save the myocardium and reduce the size of the necrosis zone remains the leading one. However, despite the high efficiency of providing medical care to patients with acute coronary …
Evaluation of the CellFX® Nano-Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) 360 Catheter Endocardial Ablation System for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
The objective of this study is to demonstrate initial safety and functionality of the CellFX nano-second Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA or nano-PFA) 360 Catheter Endocardial Ablation System in treating subjects with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Effect of Point-of-care Analysis of Ultrasensitive Troponin I on Length of Hospital Stay in Patients With Cardiac Chest Pain (POC Troponina)
This clinical study aims to compare two different methods for measuring high-sensitivity troponin I, a key biomarker used to diagnose heart attacks. The primary research question is: Does the use of the Atellica VTLi kit from Siemens for high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-cTnI) testing at the point of care (POC) significantly …
Pleiotropic Effects of Dapagliflozin in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes
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 …
Glucocorticoid Treatment in Transaortic Valve Replacement to Reduce the Incidence of Conduction Disturbances (GLUCO-TAVR).
The goal of this phase IV, randomized, controlled and open-label study is to assess the efficacy of peri-procedure glucocorticoid treatment in the prevention of conduction abnormalities and the need for pacemaker implantation in patients undergoing transaortic valve replacement compared to placebo. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a …
Study of Microvascular Dysfunction, CFR and Cardioprotective Effect of Early Administration of Esmolol in MI
Study rationale: to evaluate clinical and prognostic relevance of microvascular dysfunction, coronary flow reserve and cardioprotective effects of iv administration of esmolol in patients with myocardial infarction. First substudy is an open randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of early intravenous administration of esmolol in patients with acute ST-segment …
The ROle of Compression StocKings in Heart Failure Patients
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is weak and not able to effectively pump blood to the body. One of the common manifestations of CHF is fluid overload and swelling of the legs. Diuretics or "water pills" are usually the treatment for fluid overload and leg swelling; however, …
