Utility of MRI With Doppler Ultrasound Gating for Advanced Fetal Monitoring
Congenital Heart DiseaseWe will test an ultrasound device that uses sound waves to detect the fetal heart beat, and use this device to tell the MRI scanner when to collect pictures of the fetal heart. This will help freeze motion of the fetal heart, to make MRI pictures sharper. This will be important for assessing human fetal heart disease, an active area of research at our institution.
Valvular Heart Disease Registry Study in Second Affiliated Hospital of ZheJiang University
Valvular Heart DiseaseWe design a prospective, observational cohort study to provide contemporary information on the prevalence, characteristics, risk stratification,cost-effective ,treatments and prognosis of Chinese hospitalised adult patients with valvular heart disease.
Physical Activity and Cognitive Development in Children
Congenital Heart DiseasesChildrenCompare physical activity and cognitive functions between children having cardiac surgery with an age-matched group of children undergoing non-cardiac surgery, as well as otherwise healthy siblings or best buddies (or age and gender-matched children if no siblings or best buddies available) before surgery and after surgery or six months following initial assessment. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 6 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 12 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. We will perform exploratory analysis to determine whether any effects of a 12-months structured physical activity program on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior persist beyond 12 months after cessation of the program.
Studies of Neuregulin/ERBB Signaling in Human Heart
Heart DiseaseVascular Disease1 moreThis study examines the role of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family and the EGF family of ligands in the regulation of non-myocytes isolated from the human heart.
Carcinoid Heart Disease and Peptide Receptor Radiotargetted Therapy
Carcinoid Heart DiseaseCarcinoid Syndrome1 moreRandomised trial to assess progression of carcinoid heart disease in patients treated with Lutathera therapy compared to best supportive care.
Treatment Success With the CoolLoop Cryoablation System
Atrial FibrillationParoxysmal Atrial Fibrillation5 moreThis clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the treatment with the CoolLoop® cryoablation System (sclerotherapy of muscle tissue of the heart by freezing) in patients with atrial fibrillation (permanent atrial fibrillation excepted) over a follow-up period of 36 months. A further aim of this study is to evaluate the average duration of procedure and fluoroscopy times.
Multicenter Registry Study of Aortic Valve Stenosis in Zhejiang Elderly(Mrs AVS)
Valvular Heart DiseaseAortic valve stenosis (AVS) is becoming more and more frequent with the aging, which has brought a heavy burden to the world. However, the prevalence and prognosis of valvular heart disease are not so clear, especially in the developing countries such as China etc. Because of the slow and progressive nature of AVS, symptoms might not be too severe to be diagnosed on time. Our retrospective survey (Int J Cardiol. 2016 Nov 25) indicated that severe aortic valve stenosis are very common in China. Hence, we design a prospective, observational cohort study to provide contemporary information on the prevalence, characteristics, risk stratification,cost-effective ,treatments and prognosis of Chinese elderly patients with aortic valve stenosis.
Erector Spinae Plane Block in Congenital Heart Disease Patients
Congenital Heart Disease in ChildrenNeurologic ComplicationPediatric cardiac patients undergoing surgical anesthesia are at an increased risk of poor neurologic outcome (20-50%). Unattenuated anesthetic exposure and pain contributes to physiologic perturbations that may increase neurologic morbidity. Because of the often-large exposure to anesthetic agents in these cardiac children, at such a young age and the potential modifying anesthetic practice that could lead to improved neurodevelopmental outcomes and surgical recovery is paramount. Regional anesthesia such as thoracic epidurals provide effective analgesia and reduced intraoperative anesthetic needed but carry devastating sequelae neurological risks of epidural hematomas after anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recently, a newly described erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is superficial to neuraxial or vascular structures, providing opportunity to be placed with less risk for surgery requiring CPB. This block has been described as effective regional anesthesia for adult cardiac surgery.
