Personalized Activity Intervention in Rehabilitation After Cardiac Operations (the PACO Trial)
The PACO trial is a randomized clinical trial conducted in Heart Centers of Kuopio and Turku university hospitals. The coronary artery disease, aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency patients preparing for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) or mitral valve repair (MVR) will be randomized …
Optimized Treatment of Pulmonary Edema or Congestion
Background Intravenous (IV) loop-diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary edema since the nineteen sixties and has a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for heart failure. Conversely, vasodilation was downgraded in the treatment of acute heart failure due to a lack of …
Physiology-guided vs Angiography-guided Non-culprit Lesion Complete Revascularization for Acute MI & Multivessel Disease
COMPLETE-2 is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing a strategy of physiology-guided complete revascularization to angiography-guided complete revascularization in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone successful culprit lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). …
24 Versus 12-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Drug-Eluting Stent in Patients With Elevated Lipoprotein(a) Levels: A Prospective, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial
Main objective Among patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (>30mg/dL) who did not experience cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding within 12 months after PCI and DES implantation, was it possible to reduce the primary adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, …
Care Coordination to Assess Improvement in Outcomes in Hospital Readmissions
Heart failure is a syndrome that is defined by distinctive clinical, hemodynamic, and neurohormonal findings. HF represents a final common pathway for many different cardiovascular diseases, including coronary disease, hypertension, Valvular disease, and many primary heart muscle diseases. Clinically, HF patients experience dyspnea, fatigue and diminished exercise tolerance, reflecting elevated …
Landiolol in Mitral Valve Surgery
Chronic mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular abnormality worldwide, it occurs in 10% of the general population and its prevalence increases with age. When left untreated, it can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and cause disabling symptoms (e.g., fatigue and dyspnea), life-threatening complications (e.g., ventricular dilation, congestive heart failure) …
Coated or Chewable Aspirin and a Hybrid Strategy to Mitigate Adverse Effects of Air Pollution in Stable Atherosclerotic Disease
Although both enteric-coated and plain formulations of aspirin are being used commonly, there are no high-quality comparisons between these formulations with respect to clinical efficacy outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Air pollution is also a major contributor to the excess risk of cardiovascular events in many regions …
Remote Ischaemic Conditioning in STEMI Patients in Sub-Saharan AFRICA
The RIC-AFRICA trial is a multi-centre, sham-controlled, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial (RCT) involving 1200 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients presenting within ≤ 24 hours of myocardial infarction (MI) onset, across approximately 20 sites in four sub-Saharan African countries (South Africa, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda). Patients presenting with STEMI and …
Prospective Deployment of a Cardiac Arrest Response System (EDICARS) in the Emergency Department
Based on data from the American Heart Association's (AHA) Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation (GTWG-R) registry, the incidence of adult treated in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) was about 10 per 1,000 bed-days (290,000 patients per year), and 15 to 20% of adult IHCA patients survived to hospital discharge (i.e., ~80% mortality). Despite …
Optimal Ventilation for Cardiac Arrest
Pediatric cardiac arrest is a life-threatening problem affecting >15,000 hospitalized children each year. Less than half of these children survive to hospital discharge, and neurologic morbidity is common among survivors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the OPTI-VENT bundle to improve survival to discharge with …
