This three-year study aims to investigate gender differences in social frailty and evaluate the effects of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based conversational social-support intervention among older adults with chronic heart failure (CHF). The study plans to enroll 300-500 adults aged 60 years or older from four Chang Gung Memorial Hospital branches …
Heart failure is a serious condition and a major reason why older adults are admitted to the hospital. Even after going home, many patients struggle to get the follow-up care they need, leading to high rates of return to the hospital. While remote monitoring technology exists, it is often difficult …
The objectives of this early feasibility study are to: evaluate initial clinical safety, device functionality, and effectiveness of the APTURE system for treatment of symptomatic HFrEF patients with elevated LAP, provide guidance for future clinical study and system designs utilizing the APTURE system.
ASCEND is a randomized controlled open-label pilot study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of pulsed field ablation (PFA) with the novel FARAPOINT catheter compared to the standard radiofrequency (RFA) ablation with ThermoCool ST/FlexAbility SE/ThermoCool ST SF/TactiFlex SE of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator …
After deciding to join this study and signing the informed consent form, participants will undergo the following interventions: All participants will receive a preoperative assessment (Tp) before surgery. Within five days after transferring from the ICU to the general ward, participants will receive a baseline assessment (T0). After completing seven …
In cardiac surgery patients , effective pain control is crucial to support early extubation, mobilization, and cognitive recovery, yet systemic opioids carry substantial risks such as respiratory depression, delirium, and delayed rehabilitation. While regional fascial plane blocks offer a safer, opioid-sparing alternative, no single technique provides complete analgesia for the …
Coronary artery disease, caused by the furring up of the heart arteries by atherosclerosis, is a major cause of death in the UK. Despite existing therapies, adverse cardiovascular events remains high, especially in patients who have already had a heart attack, as some of these patients have aggressive atherosclerotic disease. …
Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is the leading cause of congenital cyanotic heart disease worldwide, involving up to 7-10% of congenital heart disease. With advances in open-heart surgical repair techniques and medical therapies, there is a significant increase in patients with rTOF surviving till late adulthood. One sequalae that nearly …
This prospective cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography and left heart catheterization at Burapha University Hospital, Thailand. The diameters of the common femoral vein and common femoral artery were measured using ultrasonography, and the common FVD/FAD ratio was calculated. LVEDP, measured during left heart catheterization, served as …
Over the past three decades, coronary stent struts have been made progressively thinner. Thin strut drug-eluting stents (DES) performed better than their thicker counterparts in a recent study. Thinner struts discourage abnormal coronary flow after implantation and associated with greater flexibility, deliverability and better clinical outcomes. Lower strut thickness may …
