Clinical Research on 68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR in Cardiovascular Diseases
FAP-targeted PET imaging using 68Ga-FAPI enables early detection of myocardial fibrosis. Combined PET/CMR provides comprehensive cardiac assessment without extra radiation. This advanced imaging approach improves diagnosis and personalized treatment for better patient outcomes.
Knowledge of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The aim of this study is to assess knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity levels, health literacy and perceptions of benefits and barriers to exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease and compare them with healthy people.
Cardiovascular Health of Transgender Individuals During the Gender-affirming Pathway
Gender incongruence, now classified in ICD-11 as a "marked and persistent incongruence between an individual's experienced gender and the gender assigned at birth," is managed in dedicated, multidisciplinary centres that coordinate psychological support with medical-surgical care. Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is central to this care pathway. In particular, masculinising GAHT …
Post-Operative Biomarker-Guided Precision Medicine For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction
The goal of this pilot study is to assess enrollment feasibility of a randomized trial of direct oral anticoagulant and high-intensity statin therapy versus usual care in patients with Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS). The primary aims of this study are to assess feasibility, study drug adherence, and optimize …
Adapting a Stress Management Intervention to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Women living with HIV have 2-4x higher risk for cardiovascular disease compared to women without HIV, with women living with HIV in the Southern US being particularly at risk. While an increased prevalence of traditional risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and obesity) partially explain this risk, evidence suggests that increased …
Impact of Earplugs on Mechanisms of Noise-Related Cardiovascular Disease
Noise from cars, planes, and trains affects all people and has been associated with heart disease. Almost 30% of Americans are exposed to harmful levels of noise and noise accounts for the loss of more than one million healthy life years per year in Europe. Noise causes stress and may …
The Electronic Cardiovascular Genetics (eCG) Clinic for Presymptomatic Genetic Counselling
Inherited cardiovascular conditions generally inherit following an autosomal dominant pattern. When a mutation is detected in the proband, relatives can have predictive DNA testing, and - when they are carrier - be monitored and timely treated if needed. Currently, less than half of relatives attends genetic counselling. With the eCG …
The Cardiovascular Consequences of Sleep Apnea Plus COPD (Overlap Syndrome)
Major progress has been made in the area of cardiovascular disease, but we believe that further progress will involve mechanistically addressing underlying respiratory causes including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The most common cause of death in COPD is cardiovascular, although mechanisms are unknown. OSA …
Finerenone Treatment for Diabetic Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy: the FibroCAN Study
Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common complication of diabetes that currently has no cure. One form of this condition is cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which affects about 20% of people with diabetes-an estimated 100 million people worldwide. CAN is a significant risk factor for death and health problems like …
Algae Effects in Markers of Cardiovascular Risk and Gut Microbiome
The Western diet, rich in fat and sugar, contributes to cardiovascular risk and alters the body metabolism, specifically through the modulation of the microbiome. Microbiome is considered the "second genome", functioning as an endocrine-like organ. Gut microbiota-derived metabolites, namely trimethylamine- N-oxide and short-chain fatty acids have been associated with atherosclerosis, …
