Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Studies of Cardiac Muscle Metabolism
The metabolism of the heart provides the chemical energy needed to fuel ongoing normal heart contraction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique used in a MRI scanner that can be used to measure and study heart metabolism directly but without blood sampling or obtaining tissue biopsies. One of the hypotheses …
Diuretics vs. Afterload Reduction for Treatment of HeartLogic Alerts
The DART-HA study is a single-center, open label, trial intended to evaluate the clinical efficacy of standard treatment options for congestive heart failure (observation, diuretic or afterload reduction therapy) in patients without new symptoms who have developed abnormalities of the HeartLogic heart failure diagnostic feature.
Molecular Imaging of Primary Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac …
Recognition of a Cardiac Arrest Within the EMS
This study aims to evaluate the average time taken by the Medical Regulation Assistants (MRA) to detect a cardiac arrest during the call to the EMS as well as the factors influencing this delay. Its main objective is to evaluate the delay, in seconds, between the call being picked up …
The Impact of Real Time Ventilation Feedback on Ventilation Rate and Tidal Volume During Cardiac Arrest.
During out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation, patient are first ventilated without ventilation feedback (but with a flowsensor connected), hereafter patients are ventilated with the use of ventilation feedback.
Post-CA Neuroprotection With Magnesium
The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to collect preliminary data on administering magnesium sulfate as a neuroprotective medication in patients who achieved Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) following Cardiac Arrest (CA). The primary aims are to assess the feasibility and safety of administering magnesium and measure serum markers …
Continuous Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation (SjO2) Measurement After Cardiac Arrest
Patients successfully resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest are often comatose, having suffered a period of low blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. They are also at risk of suffering further brain injury during the immediate period after resuscitation, in which the brain's normal regulatory functions are impaired. To …
Brain Heart InterActioNs in Cardiac Arrest. Ancillary Study of the HEAVENwARd Trial
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Current recommendations suggest using a multimodal approach to predict poor …
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 …
The VENTOR Clinical Study
To evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of the Ventor Airway System in providing short-term ventilation support in non-breathing subjects during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and respiratory arrests.
