Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for delayed neurodevelopment. Multiple etiological explanations have been proposed, as there seems to be a multifactorial interplay of both prenatal and perioperative factors. The main goal of this research project is to focus on peri-operative physiological risk factors in infants …
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility, sustainability, and public health impact of a district-based program for secondary prevention of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in Uganda.
The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation have been supported by a large amount of evidence-based medicine. Cardiac rehabilitation can correct cardiovascular risk factors, reduce morbidity and mortality, and improve quality of life.
Insomnia is prevalent (45%) in CHD patients and associated with significantly increased risk for recurrent cardiovascular events. Insomnia has recently been identified as the third most important risk factor for prognosis. However, very few insomnia patients are identified and receive treatment of insomnia today. CBT-I is the first-line treatment for …
This project aims to validate sex-specific biologic signatures associated with aortic valve disease developed in a large multicenter CMR registry, using unsupervised phenomapping. The aim to use standard and advanced CMR techniques (MRF, DTI, chemical exchange transfer, and radiomics analysis) is to determine advanced CMR predictors of reverse remodeling following …
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to …
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal and dangerous heart rhythm affecting the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). Patients with structural heart disease caused by previous heart attacks are at an increased risk of developing VT. Current guidelines recommend that patients who develop this abnormal heart rhythm are considered …
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with advanced structural heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the efficacy of SBRT compared to catheter ablation (CA) in …
Remote Ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been reported to improve myocardial microcirculation, promote collateral circulation recruitment, and improve myocardial perfusion in patients.Two large randomized controlled trials demonstrated a perioperative cardioprotective effect of RIPC (reduced troponin levels), but did not find that a single preoperative RIPC improved long-term outcomes of coronary artery …
