Application of Comprehensive Non-invasive Assessment To Phenotype Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly recognized valvular heart disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. With the availability of various novel transcatheter tricuspid interventions, it is no longer considered a "forgotten valve." Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent condition also characterized by high morbidity and …
Dapa Acute Heart Failure Study
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important reasons for hospital admission and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. After discharge, up to 40% of patients are readmitted within 6 months and 1-year post-discharge mortality is high. The cost burden of treating patients with HF is high and …
Retrospective Review on Uterovaginal Anomalies
Review of surgical outcomes of patient who have undergone surgery for uterovaginal anomalies. Case notes of patients would be reviewed and data would be gathered for statistical analysis.
Cardiovascular Physiological Signal Recording Project
Vital sign monitoring is important for patients, especially those with underlying cardiovascular diseases. Traditional monitoring including SaO2, blood pressure, pulse, rhythm monitoring can be cumbersome, with wires and cuff attached to a patient. This can lead to reduced compliance, especially in uncooperative patients or young kids. The use of photoplethysmography …
Smartwatch Paroxysmal Arrhythmia Detection Compared with Holter
The lifetime risk for development of atrial fibrillation, the commonest sustained arrhythmia in adults, is estimated to be 24%-27% for individuals of 40 years or older. Previous work showed that annual new diagnosis of AF is 11000-26000 in Hong Kong. Other arrhythmia such as supraventricular arrhythmia or premature beats were …
