Structured Shared Decision Making for Patients Undergoing SAVR or TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-established alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis regardless of surgical risk. While TAVR and SAVR share some of the benefits and risks, they importantly differ with regards to invasiveness, time to recovery, hemodynamics, …
Doxycycline Host-directed Therapy to Improve Lung Function and Decrease Tissue Destruction in Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global pandemic that despite successful treatment and bacterial eradication can cause chronic ill health, such as pulmonary impairment after tuberculosis (PIAT) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A recent Phase 2b double-blind randomised-controlled clinical trial shows that adjunctive doxycycline therapy is safe, accelerates resolution of inflammation, suppresses tissue …
Antibacterial Tactics Based on Presepsin Level in Thoracic Aorta Surgery Patients
According to the literature, presepsin was recommended not only as an effective indicator in the diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care units, but also as a reliable prognostic marker of postoperative inflammatory processes in cardiac surgery. Previous study carried out in Petrovsky NRCS related to biomarkers in cardiac surgery and …
Colchicine After Electrocardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a 3 month treatment course of low-dose Colchicine decreases the recurrence of Atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrocardioversion (ECV) in patients with AF.
The Role of Right Atrial Ectopy Triggering Ganglionated Plexuses in AF
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disturbance of the heart. It can affect people of any age but usually happens as we get older. It can cause palpitations, breathlessness, lethargy, and fainting attacks. It is also associated with an increased risk of strokes. The best treatment for it …
Cholesterol Self-testing in Patients Post Acute Coronary Syndrome
The pharmacological reduction of LDL-C lowers cardiovascular risk and is therefore a priority in cardiovascular secondary prevention. The achievement of LDL-C target levels in Germany, Europe, and worldwide is inadequate, despite a wide array of lipid-lowering medications. Only a small proportion of post-myocardial infarction patients reach their LDL-C target range …
Neuroprotective Effect of Butylphthalide for Cardiac Arrest Patients
Cardiac arrest is one of the critical illnesses that is directly life-threatening, and patients who survive cardiac arrest develop severe neurological deficits or even die. The effectiveness of drugs to improve neurological function in resuscitated brain-injured patients has been a focus of research in the field of resuscitation. Butanephthalein has …
The CardioClip Study
The CardioClip study is exploring the use of a wireless sensor to monitor pressure in the pulmonary artery. This sensor is inserted much like the mTEER procedure, a non-surgical method through a vein in the groin. The investigators want to find out if the sensor, by constantly sending information about …
Efficacy of Gamification With Escape-Room for Arrhythmia Identification in Critical Patients
Introduction: Health education provided through the escape-room is still a recent approach in educational methodology and tends to be a strategy that benefits nursing students, particularly in gaining knowledge and skills. However, few studies have explored the use of both in-person and virtual escape-room as an educational methodology in nursing. …
ECG-less Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in the Management of Patients Presenting With High-troponin Chest Pain
Chest pain represents a common reason for consultation to emergency room. This symptom can be explained by a broad spectrum of conditions, from benign musculoskeletal or esophageal pain to life-threatening disease such as aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. There are already different diagnostic tools to quickly identify most …
