New Onset of Arrhythmia After Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure
Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) accounts for approximately 25% of all ischemic strokes, with patent foramen ovale (PFO) considered a major mechanism behind ESUS. When specific anatomic criteria are met, transcatheter PFO occlusion is regarded as the gold standard for secondary stroke prevention. However, previous studies have shown that …
Study of the Characteristics of the Vascular Wall in Pediatric Age
With this study, we want to investigate the characteristics of the blood vessel wall and study cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents, whether or not they have heart disease, by subjecting patient to a noninvasive diagnostic examination with an innovative medical device called VICORDER©.
Biobank Cardiac Surgery
Treatment strategies for cardiac surgery patients have been evolving significantly for the last decade. While clinical outcomes have been improving, there are still significant areas unexplored in these patients. Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used …
Assessment of Lipoprotein(a) and Endogenous Fibrinolysis in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease/Aortic Valve Disease
Prior studies have shown that impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is a novel, independent cardiovascular risk factor in patients with myocardial infarction and there is currently no known chronic treatment to enhance endogenous fibrinolysis. To date, no therapies have been able to sufficiently reduce Lp(a) and therefore it was considered to be …
Impact of Adrenal IncidenTalomas and Possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Alterations
The investigators hypothesize that cardiovascular and metabolic alterations can occur in patients with adrenal adenomas and possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS). Investigators hypothesize that adrenalectomy in selected patients, following the 2016 ECE guidelines, can improve metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risks and features.
The Association Between Glycemic Metrics and Cardiovascular Markers in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes.
In this cross-sectioanl study, 90 patients aged >12 years old with T1DM who are on MiniMed 780G system will be included.The investigators aim to assesse the association of patients' adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) with CGM and insulin metrics, as well as anthropometric measurements, BMI, lipid levels and blood pressure.Moreover, …
Exploring the Predictive Value of Electroencephalography Features in Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders Following Cardiovascular Surgery
To explore the predictive value of Electroencephalography features in Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery under general anesthesia
The Effect of Cytisine Treatment for Smoking Cessation on Cardiovascular Function in Adult Smokers
Introduction: Pharmacological interventions can enhance smoking cessation success and long-term abstinence. Cytisine, a plant derived alkaloid, is a selective partial agonist at alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are crucial in nicotine dependence. Aim of the Study The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the efficacy of …
Chronic Impacts of Endocrine Therapy on Cardiovascular and Brain Health Outcomes in Breast Cancer
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. Despite the evidence that aromatase inhibitor therapy is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, potentially related to the duration of use, no studies have been conducted to characterize the long-term effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on the …
Surrogating Physician-recorded SCORE2 Risk Calculator Inputs by Using Auxiliary Data
The goal of the clinical trial is to assess whether the data collected from wearable devices can reduce the uncertainty in predicting the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women aged 40-69 years in a situation where information about the blood pressure and blood lipids are unavailable. Participants will: Complete a …
