Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Evaluation After Surgical Correction of Aortic Regurgitation
Investigators assume that surgical correction approach to functional mitral regurgitation during intervention for chronic aortic regurgitation in patients with severe enlargement of the left heart chambers influences reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in the postoperative period. It is suggested that functional mitral regurgitation (MR) provides supra-physiological left ventricle …
Resting Energy Expenditure and Substrate Consumption in Cardiac Arrest Patients Under Target Temperature Management
This study is a single-center, prospective, observational study. According to the sample size formula, an estimated 40 cases should be collected, all of whom are from the emergency intensive care unit. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the enrolled patients will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized …
Non-invasive Coronary Thrombus Imaging to Define These Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify what causes the heart attack and can sometimes pick up other conditions that cause a strain on …
Frailty, Physical Capacity and Lung Function in Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Patients
The goal of this observational and prospective study is to investigate changes in physical performance, lung function, and respiratory and peripheral muscle strength in patients during the postoperative period following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve replacement surgery..
Technological and Patient-tailored Innovations for Maximizing Effectiveness of Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects 275,000 people in Europe every year. In Italy alone, 50,000 people experience OHCA annually, with only 9% surviving. Half of the survivors suffer severe brain damage. Immediate CPR and defibrillation by bystanders before the ambulance arrives can save lives, but often, CPR starts only when …
Long Term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation -The LOCATE Registry
The purpose of the Long term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (LOCATE) Registry is to perform long-term ambulatory monitoring of patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and develop new onset conduction system abnormalities post-procedure that do not require urgent permanent …
Immunoinflammatory Response in Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS)
This is a prospective, observational study to investigate molecular mechanisms mediating the systemic inflammatory process, and changes to metabolism, and their impact on brain injury, survival, and functional outcomes after cardiac arrest. Investigators have shown that cardiac arrest induces changes in the numbers and properties of circulating immune cells, shifting …
Study of Circulating Monocytes in Patients With Ischemic Vascular Disease
The purpose of this research study is to discover the functions of circulating white blood cells, called monocytes, and associated circulating substances in heart attack and ischemic stroke patients. Ischemic Strokes (clots) occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. A type …
Comparing N-terminal-proB-type Natriuretic Peptide With Other Criteria in Pleural Fluid Analysis
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
The Sarcopenia Study
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with Heart Failure. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether there is a difference in the prevalence of sarcopenia across the spectrum of HFpEF (Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) and HFrEF (heart …
