Effect and Cost Effectiveness of a Dyadic Empowerment-based Heart Failure Management Program for Self-care
Global population aging has drastically increased healthcare spending worldwide, with the greatest portion going to hospital and community health services. Heart failure (HF), as the final form of many cardiovascular diseases resulting from insufficient myocardial pumping. Ineffective self-care is consistently identified as the major modifiable risk factor for HF decompensation …
Treatment Of Atrial Fibrillation In Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) with preserved left ventricular function (pEF) is difficult clinical syndrome to treat effectively with few evidence based therapies. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is now an important co-morbidity being observed in 43% of patients with HFpEF. Rhythm control has not been studied in this population. Catheter ablation and antiarrhythmic …
Effects of Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty of Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis in High-Risk Patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to document a beneficial effect of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in high-risk patients selected according to the criteria used in the DAN-PTRA study. The main questions the trial aims to answer are if renal artery stenting compared …
LEft Bundle branchArea Pacing to Avoid Pacing-induced CARdiomyopathy
LEAP-CAR will evaluate the benefit of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), comparing to conventional right ventricular pacing (RVP), in preventing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) in patients undergoing pacemaker implant for advanced (2° or 3° degree) atrioventricular block, with baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >45%. LEAP-CAR is a randomized, prospective, …
Peri-treatment of SGLT-2 Inhibitor on Myocardial Infarct Size and Remodeling Index in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and High Risk of Heart Failure Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
We aimed to identify whether SGLT-2 inhibitor administration before and after coronary intervention is effective in reducing the size of infarction and myocardial remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and high risk of heart failure, and its mechanism. For this reason, we compared cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) …
Evaluating DyNamic Myocardial Blood Flow QUantitation As a Cost Effective Care ModeL for DiabEtic Patients With Coronary Artery DiSease
This will be a prospective randomized clinical trial comprising of n=300 diabetic patients, randomized to either dynamic (n=150) or conventional MPI (n=150) strategy. Healthcare resources utilization of each patient will be tracked. Patients will be followed up for short term outcomes and for long term outcomes.
Virtual Reality and Computerized Cognitive Intervention for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Heart Failure
This research project is relevant to public health because both heart failure (HF) and mild cognitive impairment (e.g., trouble remembering and concentrating beyond normal aging) are highly prevalent among older adults in the United States. Despite advances in health care, there are no effective interventions for treating cognitive impairment in …
Conduction System Pacing vs Biventricular Pacing in Systolic Dysfunction and Wide QRS: Mortality, Heart Failure Hospitalization or Cardiac Transplant
Conduction system pacing vs biventricular resynchronization therapy in systolic dysfunction and wide QRS: mortality, heart failure hospitalization or cardiac transplant (CONSYST-CRT II trial). Superiority trial that aims to study the composite endpoint consisting of all-cause mortality, cardiac transplant or heart failure hospitalization at 12-month follow-up.
PET/CT* vs. Cardiac CT for Detecting Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease [*PET: Positron Emission Tomography; CT: Computed Tomography]
Early detection of coronary atherosclerotic disease facilitates adequate prevention. The purpose of this study is to compare an assessment of coronary atherosclerotic disease burden by positron emission tomography / computed tomography (NaF-PET/CT) with those of conventional and ultra-high-resolution-CT (UHR-CT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. For this purpose, the …
Strategy for Prompt and Effective Thoracentesis in the Emergency Department
The SPEEDTAP-trial is a prospective, randomised, investigator-initiated, multicenter, clinical superior trial investigating two thoracentesis methods in four emergency departments (ED) in Central Denmark Region. Patients are randomised to either manual fluid removal in the ED or passively fluid drainage using gravity in the radiology department (standard of care). Primary outcome: …
