Active clinical trials for "Heart and Blood Diseases"

This study is designed to determine if a simplified technique for cardiac device reprogramming using pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) data in the acute setting holds promise to improve subjective assessments of patient quality of life (QOL), objective measurements of functional capacity, and specific systolic and diastolic echocardiographic indices.

In this study, the investigators are testing the accuracy of a wrist-worn measurement device by comparing its blood pressure measurement to arterial line (A-line) blood pressure monitors. The device is similar in style and fit to popular activity bands, but it is unique in that it measures blood pressure.

Analyze the epidemiology and outcome of all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) presented to Asyut university hospital (AUH) and to identify factors associated with mortality and all-cause hospitalization at a duration of 6 months follow-up.

Systemic arterial hypertension is one of major risk factors to development of target organ damage that culminate in cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Sodium intake is related with elevation of arterial blood pressure due to rise of cardiac output and of arterial stiffness and it can be estimated by daily sodium excreted in urine 24h. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring can be used to obtain peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters [arterial stiffness parameters - central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index]. Applanation tonometry also can be used to check same central hemodynamic parameters. Both methods provide us important informations about the patients clinical conditions and help us to infer their prognosis. Therefore, this protocol aims measure the central hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients, controlled or resistant, and evaluate their sodium urinary excretion. The hypothesis is the resistant hypertensive patients have parameters higher than controlled hypertensive patients.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy( DCM) is a major complication of diabetes and is a common cardiovascular complication independent of coronary artery disease and hypertension．Trial to assess of myocardial injury in recipients of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation by nuclear magnetic T２ mapping technology.

This multicentric, prospective study will evaluate the medium-term outcomes of patients implanted with GORE VIABAHN® stent grafts for popliteal artery aneurysms in scheduled elective surgery with the registry of the Research in Vascular Surgery University Association (AURC)

The prognostic implication of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients from China is still unclear. We aim to investigate the impact of LAAO procedure on subsequent clinical outcomes in patients from China.

The purpose of this registry is to depict the myocardial tissue characteristics in NSTEMI patients by CMR and other cardiac imaging modalities and to assess the prognostic value of imaging-derived indices. Information will be collected prospectively in about 2000 NSTEMI patients in 10 sites. Subjects will be followed for up to 5 years.

The main objective of this study is to determine the one-year neurological outcome of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for a primary and spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH).

Incidence and pathophysiologic hemodynamics of orthostatic intolerance and orthostatic hypotension in patients undergoing unilateral THA
