To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital …
At the moment, the invasive strategy for the infarct-associated coronary artery in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) necessary to save the myocardium and reduce the size of the necrosis zone remains the leading one. However, despite the high efficiency of providing medical care to patients with acute coronary …
The UNIFLECA study is a prospective, single-arm, observational cohort evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of flecainide (in the form of Sanocard) in adults with frequent idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and suspected PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PVCi-CMP). Frequent PVCs-defined as a burden \>5% on two separate 24-hour Holter recordings-are increasingly recognized …
This clinical study aims to compare two different methods for measuring high-sensitivity troponin I, a key biomarker used to diagnose heart attacks. The primary research question is: Does the use of the Atellica VTLi kit from Siemens for high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-cTnI) testing at the point of care (POC) significantly …
Around 10% of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) present with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) which pathophysiology is often uncertain. The aim of the study is to evaluate inflammation and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers in MINOCA patients during both acute and stable phases, comparing them with those with MI and obstructive coronary …
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX nano-second Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA) Cardiac Catheter Ablation System in treating recurrent, drug-resistant, symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
The objective of this study is to demonstrate initial safety and effectiveness of the CellFX nano-second Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA or nano-PFA) 360 Catheter Endocardial Ablation System in treating subjects with atrial fibrillation.
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the impact of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) on sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with significant valvular heart disease. Patients undergoing TAVI or M-TEER will be evaluated with full polysomnography prior to the intervention and at …
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease. Strategies focused solely on glycemic control have failed to demonstrate vascular events reduction in this population. On the other hand, new antidiabetic drugs recently have demonstrated significant decrease of cardiovascular mortality, raising the …
