The Influence of Genetic Predisposition on Outcome After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation....
Atrial FibrillationCatheter ablation is an established standard therapy in interventional treatment of atrial fibrillation.The trial investigates the influence of genetic risk for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation.
Unmasking the Prevalence of AC in an Unselected Echocardiographic Population
Amyloid CardiomyopathyThis study will investigate the prevalence of echocardiographic red-flags of amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) in patients undergoing clinically-indicated echocardiography (observational phase) and the prevalence of AC among AC-suggestive echocardiograms (interventional phase).
Relationship Between Adipose Tissue Distribution and Arterial Stiffness in HFpEF
Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection FractionArterial Stiffness1 moreHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was considered as a heterogeneous disease with multi-organ and multi-system design, which is related to various complications, such as hypertension, obesity and arteriosclerosis. Studies have found that hypertension and obesity are respectively associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, there is still no research investigating the the relationship between lipids distribution and arterial stiffness in HFpEF patients.
Genetic of Response to Acute Saline Load Test in Hypertension (Naload)
Hypertension,EssentialSalt; Excess2 moreNHP referred to our outpatient clinic will be enrolled (150 newly recruited) in acute saline test for phenotype characterisation of PNat relationship(7). For each patient we will collect urine and blood samples for standard clinical biochemistry, including electrolytes, creatinine, EO, aldosterone, plasma renin activity, urinary uromodulin (ELISA), urinary and serum uric acid and blood samples for genetic test.
Diagnosing Acute Onset Insufficient Intestinal Blood Flow (Bowel Ischemia) With a Novel CT Technique...
Bowel IschemiaAcute Bowel Ischemia / InfarctionThe aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) in the diagnosis of acute bowel ischemia (ABI). ABI is a condition characterised by inadequate blood supply to portions of the intestine. ABI is a relatively rare condition, but is associated with a high mortality rate. DECT is an emerging field within radiology. Few reports have reported an increased conspicuity for ABI using DECT compared with conventional CT, which is the current preoperative golden standard. The investigators hypothesize that DECT increases conspicuity of ABI compared with conventional CT and that DECT image findings correlate with the intraoperative findings.
Factors Associated With CPC 1-2 in 110 Patients Admitted in French ICU for a Myocardial Infarction...
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac ArrestMyocardial Infarction4 moreThis study evaluate the association of some in-ICU factors with the neurological prognosis of patients admitted for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to a myocardial infarction.
Effect of Aterial Stiffness on Myocardial Work in Patients With Hypertension
Hypertension; Heart DiseaseHypertensiveHypertension is a serious threat to human health and a major global economic burden.Chronic hypertension can cause left ventricular remodeling and loss of function, eventually leading to heart failure.Exploring the early changes and mechanisms of left ventricular cardiac function caused by hypertension, and to identify individuals who may develop into serious heart injury, may play a positive role in the early prevention and control of heart failure caused by hypertension.Therefore, this study intend to use two-dimensional speckle tracking technology, a non-invasive method to measure left ventricular pressure-strain loop to quantitatively reflect cardiac work index , to study different hypertension patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction the change of the global and local cardiac work, and the influence of aterosclerosis in thes patients to myocardial work, and explore their relationship with ventricular remodeling and abnormal diastolic function.To improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of hypertension, hypertensive heart disease and heart failure, and to provide scientific support for the early prevention and control of such diseases.
Foot Abnormalities in Diabetic CKD Patients
CKDDiabetic FootTo find the correlation between different stages of CKD and type and severity of foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD. To assess factors that may aggravate foot abnormalities in diabetic patients with CKD by measuring serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, albumin, uric acid…etc.
Psychiatric Manifestations Associated With Behcet's Disease
Behçet's DiseaseneuroBehcet3 moreThe psychoBehçet'study is aimed at evaluating the psychological and neurocognitive symptoms in 25 consecutive patients followed for Behçet's disease. This is a monocentric, observational, non interventional study.
