Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate, in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery, the predicting capability of biomarkers for acute kidney injury. The main questions it aims to answer: The predicting capability of acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers for the primary endpoint: the occurrence of AKI stage ≥ 1 within 48-h after intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The predicting capability of AKI biomarkers for the secondary endpoint: the occurrence of AKI stage ≥ 2 within 12-h after ICU admission. Investigated biomarkers include urine chitinase 3-like protein 1 (uCHI3L1), urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7(IGFBP7), NephroCheck® and Δ serum creatinine [postop-preop]. Differences in concentration between patients with and without AKI development were investigated, as well as AKI diagnostic performance of (combined) biomarkers. During and after cardiac surgery several blood and urine samples will be taken of participants to investigated AKI occurrence and to measure biomarker concentrations.

This study aims to examine the impact of providing a digital education material to participants of home based cardiac rehabilitation in improving clinical and behavioural outcomes

In this prospective validation study, researchers investigates accuracy of EHMRG (Emergency Heart Failure Mortality Risk Grade) score in predicting the 7th and 30th day risk of mortality in patients with acute heart failure who applying to the emergency department.

Investigation of the cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 in patients admitted to hospital

It's prospective Cohort study to compare maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant females between corrected and uncorrected rheumatic valve lesions

Assessment of myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury during off- and on- pump CABG.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive non-ionizing technique for a comprehensive cardiac exam, which can be used in the diagnosis of CAD. In this work, the investigators will develop and validate techniques for accelerated cardiac MRI, offering better volumetric coverage of the heart, improved contrast, and superior spatial and temporal resolutions.

Children with congenital heart disease are at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, these disorders impacting their quality of life and their integration into society. The aim of this study is to detect neurodevelopmental disorders in children (aged from 6 to 66 months) with congenital heart disease in Nord-Pas-De-Calais (France) and to evaluate the frequency and risk factors of these neurodevelopmental disorders for a better follow-up. This study will help implementing a specific program for the evaluation and management of neurodevelopmental disorders in children suffering from congenital heart disease in Nord-Pas-De-Calais and more globally, in the region Hauts-De-France.

This is a observational、multicenter, prospective cohort study for adults with significant VHD. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the etiology、clinical characteristics、treatment modalities, and outcomes of patients with VHD；also to set up registration system of adult VHD in China, to build a database of Chinese adult VHD, to establish a web-based international standard data acquisition system for VHD and a multicenter clinical research platform. The results of the study will provide a basis for the future national health policy for prevention and treatment of adult VHD.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformations. The right ventricle in the sub-aortic position, or "systemic right ventricle" is one of these complex cardiac diseases. Several studies show that adults with CHD and especially systemic right ventricle have reduced exercise capacity. In addition, studies have shown that there is a correlation between alteration of aerobic physical capacity and alteration of right ventricular systolic function. Understanding and assessing the determinants of the physical capacity of patients with systemic right ventricles and evaluating their quality of life could allows us to improve their therapeutic management and also to expand patient indications to a program cardiac rehabilitation. This can benefit them on their exercise capacity, their tolerance to exercise and their quality of life. The aim is to study the correlation between the quality of life and the aerobic physical fitness of patients with a systemic right ventricle and to determine the clinical and paraclinical parameters that have an impact on the aerobic physical fitness of these patients. The quality of life of patients with a systemic right ventricle will be compared to that of the general population.
