Active clinical trials for "Heart and Blood Diseases"

This is a prospective, non-randomized post market surveillance registry designed to document the clinical Performance in Routine clinical practice of the POLARIS Peripheral Vascular Self Expanding Stent System

The event-related potentials may be different in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy than in patients without Takotsubo.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether baseline DOC screening can add to clinical and demographic data to predict the occurrence of a composite negative outcome (any of: recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, death, or admission to a long-term care (LTC) / complex continuing care (CCC) facility) within one year of screening, in stroke prevention clinic patients.

The EMERALD trial is a multinational, multicenter study. The patients presented with AMI/definite evidence of plaque rupture and had underwent coronary CT angiography from 1 month to 2 year prior to the event will be retrospectively searched. Plaques in the non-culprit vessels will be regarded as internal control to the ruptured plaque in the culprit vessel.

A longitudinal study of function and participation in patients with stroke: An integrated brain imaging and biomechanical analysis

Compare the renal complication of endovascular and open repair of acute aortic dissection by including patient treated at NTUH in 2010~2013.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the significant risk factor of ischemic stroke with incidence about 20% of all ischemic strokes. The undiagnosed AF in cryptogenic stroke patients could be present but not revealed by rutinne ECG.

The goal of this study is to assess decision making skills of emergency physicians when dealing with hypotensive patients. The hypothesis is that decisions made based on physical exam and vital signs regarding fluid resuscitation by emergency physicians are not statistically equivalent to those that would be made based on the use of a non-invasive CVP measurement

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve Replacement (TAVR) in the Asian Pacific population

A total of 621 consecutive male and female subjects, without established CAD, referred to exercise stress testing (EST) due to 1) chest pain syndromes or equivocal/equivalent angina with intermediate pretest probability for CAD; 2) , or asymptomatic subjects with diabetes mellitus who are referred EST for risk assessment prior to initiation of an exercise program. To validate the diagnostic performance of the HeartTrends device for the detection and ruling out of myocardial ischemia in a population of subjects who are currently referred for cardiovascular evaluation using EST. Prospective multicenter single-armed study, assessing the diagnostic accuracy of HRV analysis by the HeartTrends device for the detection of myocardial ischemia, as determined by stress echocardiography.
