Early Detection of Progressive Kidney Disease in Preterm Infants
Infants born preterm and of low birth weight are known to be at increased risk for early onset of cardiovascular and renal disease in adult life. This has been related to low nephron mass due to inadequate or early termination of glomerulogenesis in utero and during the perinatal period. Risks …
Role of Endothelial Function in SCI CVD Risk
Individuals with spinal cord injury have heart attacks and strokes more frequently, and much earlier in life. People with spinal cord injuries develop plaque in vessels much faster, and the reasons why are unclear. Doctors generally attributed the increased risk with weight gain and developing diabetes, but many studies have …
The Safety and Efficacy of Radiofrequency Ablation After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter atrial fibrillation ablation 1 month after WATCHMAN FLX left atrial appendage closure in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
Validation of the Prognostic Impact of a Retinal Photograph-based Cardiovascular Disease Risk Stratification System in de Novo HFrEF
"Despite significant advances in pharmacologic and device-based therapies, heart failure (HF) remains a major public health burden, with persistently high rates of hospitalization, impaired quality of life, and excess mortality-often exceeding those of leading malignancies. Prognosis in HF is shaped by its underlying etiology: ischemic HF often responds to revascularization …
Patients with Coronary Artery Disease or At High Cardiovascular Risk: Measuring Compliance with Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterised by partial or total obstruction of the oro-pharyngeal carrefour during sleep. It is found in between 4% and 25% of the general population and in 40 to 80% of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard …
Cardiovascular and Endothelial Markers During OGTT Before and at Six and Twelve Months Post-treatment in Women With PCOS
The aim of the present study is to investigate a) the presence of subclinical markers of vascular, myocardial and endothelial function in women with PCOS b) the acute alterations in these markers during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) c) the impact of potential treatment interventions in these markers.
Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation Care Process
The objective of this observational study is to assess the outcomes of a hospital-based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) program focused on exercise in cancer patients undergoing cardiotoxic treatment. This evaluation will be conducted by analyzing disease-related health indicators, functional capacity, and quality of life. Patients at risk of cardiotoxicity attending the …
Lymphedema, Low-grade Inflammation and the Vasculature in Turner Syndrome
100 women with karyotype verified TS, previously examined at 4 study visits during a 19-year period will be asked to participate in a 5th study visit. Healthy age-matched females will be included as controls in a ratio 2:1. The aim is to examine and quantify the cardiovascular and lymphatic system …
The Incidence of Pulmonary, Cardiovascular and Renal System Non-communicable Complications Associated With the Post-acute Phase of the Infection by Covid-19
More than 660 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, with 183 million cases in the EU alone. In several people, after recovery, the effects of the first waves of COVID-19 persisted beyond the acute phase and increased the risk of chronic multiorgan symptoms and disease. Up to 70% …
Novel Echocardiographic Biomarkers Assessing the Myocardial Work in Heart Failure
This study seeks to investigate the clinical value of novel echocardiographic indices, including myocardial work parameters, during the acute phase of heart failure hospitalization. The trajectory of novel echocardiographic indices from the start to the end of hospitalization will be captured, as a means to unravel and subsequently better understand …
