The purpose of this observational study is to understand the impact of polypharmacy on the prognosis of elderly patients with chronic diseases. The main research question it aims to address is: Does polypharmacy affect the prognosis of elderly patients with chronic diseases? Elderly patients with chronic diseases will be asked …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in aging populations and is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, early detection of HF among patients with AF remain inadequate in rural settings. This study aims to screen for HF among older adults …
The optimal antithrombotic management in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. AF patients are treated with oral anticoagulation (OAC) to prevent ischemic stroke and systemic embolism and patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), i.e. aspirin plus …
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if using a non-invasive heart scan (called coronary computed tomography angiography, or CCTA) to plan coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) works as well as the standard invasive approach (called coronary angiography, or CAG) for people with blocked heart arteries. The …
A prospective cohort of relatively healthy individuals, using comprehensive clinical information, advanced imaging (including cardiac MRI), cardiovascular exercise physiology, metabolomics and genetic analysis. These findings will be correlated with adverse clinical outcomes including death, stroke and myocardial infarction. In selected cases, follow-up imaging and biomarker samples will also be obtained. …
Rationale: Heart attacks are a major cause of death and result from coronary blood clots that require acute coronary intervention and antithrombotic drugs to restore blood flow and prevent new heart attacks. Over time, more potent antithrombotic drugs have been introduced like prasugrel and ticagrelor. These drugs have replaced the …
Prospective, single-center observational registry including all consecutive patients treated with transcatheter mitral or tricuspid valve therapy at the Deutsches Herzzentrum München, Germany.
Part I (Pilot Phase): The purpose of this study is to examine if formalized data assessment and systematic feedback improves treatment times (i.e. contact-to-balloon time and door-to-balloon time) in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI). Part II (Implementation Phase): The Purpose is to prospectively investigate if survival can …
The association between objectively measured physical activity intensities (light, moderate and vigorous), sedentary time and clinical outcomes has not been clarified in patients after a myocardial infarction. The overall objective of the study is to explore associations between accelerometer measured physical activity and clinical outcomes after a myocardial infarction. Moreover, …
The aim of the study is to determine whether discontinuation of β-blocker after at least 1 year of β-blocker therapy is noninferior to continuation of β-blocker in patients without heart failure (HF) or left ventricular systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter, noninferiority trial to determine …
