TRANSCRIBE (Transcriptomic Analysis of Left Ventricular Gene Expression)
Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that genetic variants will alter gene expression in response to ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass. To test this, the investigators will be taking small pieces of heart tissue from patients undergoing heart surgery before and after this period of ischemia. This will be compared to blood gene …
Determinants of Progression From Phase III to IV Cardiac Rehabilitation
This study will determine the limiting factors in progression from phase III to IV cardiac rehabilitation in underepresented populations (as defined by the National Audit of Cardiac Rehab, NACR). This will be done by recruiting participants from phase III cardiac rehab programmes and issuing questionnaires (either a non-initiator questionnire, or …

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment For Kidney Transplantation - Utility of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in the Assessment of Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplantation
Cardiovascular disease (for example, heart attack, stroke, heart failure) is the commonest complication of kidney failure. Kidney transplantation reduces cardiovascular risk but cardiovascular disease remains the commonest cause of death in patients following transplantation. Current strategies to assess patient's cardiovascular risk prior to kidney transplantation do not identify those at …

Prospective Evaluation on the Role Exerted by Hormonal Contraceptives on 24-h Blood Pressure. A Prospective Observational Study
This study aims to assess the effect of different hormonal contraceptives on 24-h blood pressure in cycling women aged 18-50 years of age. The main question aims to answer: Does oral contraceptives, estrogen formulations' based combined with drospirenone or the only drospirenone present minr effect on blod pressure and/or on …
Perceptions Across Ethnicities to Develop an Adapted Intervention for Breathlessness
An individual's experience of their breathlessness is influenced by multiple factors including their medical condition, psychology, sociological and situational circumstances which will include ethnicity. There is currently a lack of evidence exploring the impact of ethnicity in the experience and presentation of breathlessness. The non-medical management of breathlessness in respiratory …
One Year Mortality and Morbidity With Hyperglycemia Among Acute Cerebrovascular Accident Patients in Emergency Department: A Cohort Study
The "One Year Mortality and Morbidity Outcome with Hyperglycemia among Acute Cerebrovascular Accident Patients in Emergency Department" is an extensive prospective cohort study designed to look into how hyperglycemia affects the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who present to the emergency room with acute cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs). Worldwide, cerebrovascular …
