Elderly people constitute the largest proportion of emergency department (ED) patients, representing 12% of all ED admissions. The need for diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions is much greater in this patient population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous iron supplementation using ferric carboxymaltosis (FCM) extends the time-to-first-event of heart failure hospitalisations and cardiovascular (CV) death and reduces hospitalisatio
Chagas disease is an endemic problem in Latin America, where millions of people are chronically infected with T. cruzi.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. The modern post-surgery treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy has improved the overall 5-years survival drastically.
Patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery face a significantly increased perioperative risk, yet no standardized strategy exists to mitigate this risk effectively. Current preoperative management relies on optimization of medic
The purpose of the study is to proof the safety and efficacy of the new ICD sytem (Iforia/Ilesto). The devices are available with DF-1 and DF4 connection.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a 12-week cycling during hemodialysis program on hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning in adult individuals receiving hemodialysis.
The purpose of Study 20060172 was to measure echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers in a subgroup of study subjects enrolled in Study 20050222 (the RED-HF Trial). This substudy 20060172 was terminated early due to feasibility constrain
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass exposes patients to the risk of post-operative acute kidney injury. In the specific setting of cardiac surgery, acute kidney injury is often of multifactorial origindue to particular haemodynamic
This study aims to determine the effect of online education structured according to Pender's Health Promotion Model on symptom burden, medication adherence, and nutritional behaviour in patients with heart failure. The sample size was calcu
The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a critical pathway to identify patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who are candidates for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). This study will also determine whether the us
The aim of this study is to analyze the prognosis and evolution of patients after exclusion of CARDIAUVERGNE, a heart failure telemonitoring system at Clermont-Ferrand's hospital. The patients were included from 1st January 2023 to 31st Dec
Although inotropes have a favorable effect on central hemodynamics in patients with heart failure, their effect on renal hemodynamics is incompletely defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 75 min intravenous inf
This is an acute, prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical study.
In this retrospective observational multicenter study the authors tested the hypothesis that the use of IMPELLA™ pump as bridge to bridge, by giving the opportunity of active rehabilitation, should improve patient's outcomes after the impla
Maximal strength training has been shown to increase muscular strength, muscular volume and work economy. An 8 week maximal leg press training regime will be conducted on cardiac heart failure patients to evaluate whether they increase thei
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the AdaptivCRT algorithm is at least as good as manual echo based optimization in regard to patient outcomes and cardiac performance
The treatment with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) of patients with small (≤23mm) surgical bioprostheses remains a challenge due to the increased transvalvular residual gradients and high rates of severe prosthesis-patient mi
Prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to increase in the developed world, likely because of the increasing life expectancy and an increasing number of elderly patients. Transthoracic echocardiography
Introduction and objectives: At the global level, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality. Currently, rehabilitation programs are shown as an effective treatment to mitigate the effects of heart failure.
