Assessment of Brain Damage Using Monitoring of Cerebral Oximetry Dynamics in Patients After Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in Europe. The recommended treatment for cardiac arrest is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and electrical defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator (AED). The chain of survival, which connects all links of basic and additional resuscitation procedures and post-resuscitation care, is …
Monitoring and Optimization of Cerebral Perfusion Pressure in Post-cardiac Arrest Patients: a Pilot Study
The goal of this study is to establish the ICP and CPP monitoring process and analyze the results in post-arrest patients, to validate the correlation between direct and non-invasive ICP monitoring indicators, to establish a protocol of management of elevated ICP and insufficient CPP in post-arrest care, to establish a …
Doxycycline to Protect Heart Muscle After Heart Attacks
Current medical treatment allows more people to survive heart attacks than in the past. However, some of the survivors suffer heart disease and require hospitalization later on. The causes behind this heart disease (heart failure) after a heart attack are poorly understood. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is a protein that …
Clinical Study of Endocardial Myocardial Biopsy
In this study, patients with endocardial myocardial biopsy were selected to observe the safety of the operation, and pathological examination was performed. If necessary, special tests such as viral examination, mass spectrometry and molecular biology were performed to confirm the diagnosis, and follow-up was performed.
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal rhythm arising from the bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The hearts of most patients who develop VT have been previously damaged by a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathies). The damage produces scar or fatty deposits that conduct electrical …
Mind Your Heart-II
This projects studies the role of mindfulness training (MT) to improve self-care among patients with heart failure and cognitive impairment.
Impact of Rotational Atherectomy on Coronary Microcirculation
The purpose of this observational study is to compare the impact of rotational atherectomy to conventional stenting and to investigate how it may affect coronary microcirculation in patients with calcified coronary artery lesions and stable CAD. The study's objectives are to: investigate the impact of rotational atherectomy on the prevalence …
Effect of Resistance Training in Patients on the Waiting List for Heart Transplant
The present longitudinal, randomized, and blinded clinical trial aims to: Evaluate the effects of resistance training on the functional capacity, quality of life, and cardiac biomarkers of hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) on the waiting list for heart transplantation (HTx). Evaluate the associations between Fried's frailty classification and functional …
XVIVO Heart Box (XHB) With Supplemented XVIVO Heart Solution (SXHS) Continued Access Protocol (CAP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) of extended criteria donor hearts using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS) is a safe and effective way to preserve and transport hearts for transplantation.
Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or Biventricular Pacing in AF and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
It is unknown whether left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) or biventricular pacing best prevents or reverses left ventricular (LV) adverse remodelling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who require ventricular pacing or CRT. This randomized non-inferiority cross-over trial will compare left ventricular end-systolic volume change and secondary endpoints between …
