Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

72 patients who have been diagnosed with hypertensive bradyarrhythmia were selected and randomly divided into research group and control group. The research group received regular medication against hypertension and the personalized formulas based on syndrome differentiation, meanwhile the control group only received the regular medication. The five symptoms (palpitation, short of breath, angina, dizzy and lumbar debility) were graded and used for evaluation of treatment.

This is a single-center, single-blind, randomized parallel superiority trial comparing two groups; Sternum GuardTM as the treatment arm and Bone Wax as the active control group. Both investigated modalities are materials used during sternotomy for covering the sewn sternal edge. The primary outcomes of this study comprised of four parameters; namely surgical site infection (superficial or deep infection), sternal dehiscence, hemostatic effect, and surgeon's satisfaction rate. The first three primary outcomes were assessed during the operation, at the end of the hospital stay, 14 days, and 30-days postoperative.

open label, single centre, randomised, Phase IV, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety study to evaluate single and multiple doses of 45, 60, and 90 mg of ticagrelor in Chinese patients with stable coronary heart disease

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is an important identifiable cause of hypertension. Previous study has suggested that OSA significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.The standardized treatment of moderate/severe OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Most of short-term trials indicated that CPAP treatment reduced BP in patients with OSA. But relevant studies have a relative short duration with only but few more than one year. In our opinion, they are not sufficient to detect the real effect of CPAP on reduction in BP. Besides, the impact of OSA on metabolic disorder is still unclear.We hypothesized that long-term CPAP treatment could reduce blood pressure and improve metabolic disorder in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)and OSA.

The purpose of this study is to develop a tai-chi based exercise program designed for patients who recently had a heart attack and do not wish, or are unable, to attend traditional cardiac rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study protocol is to determine if administering Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for treatment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induced hypogammaglobulinemia in the early post-operative period can impact post-surgical outcomes (i.e., infection, fluid overload, and associated morbidities).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of intracoronary infusion of cardiac progenitor cells in patients with univentricular heart disease. Patients with preoperative high-risk group or whose cardiac function did not recover postoperatively eventually have no choice other than heart transplantation.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major public health problem that has no proven effective treatment. This study assessed the effects of acute nitrite administration on resting and exercise hemodynamics in patients with HFpEF.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ALEX stent in a real-world setting of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine Isoflurane's dose-dependent effect on left ventricular (LV) systolic function in cardiac surgery. The change of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) of lateral mitral valve annular systolic velocity at three different isoflurane concentrations would be analyzed by using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cardiac surgery patients.
