Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

Women who experience placental complications (syndromes) during pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and kidney problems), gestational hypertension (high blood pressure during pregnancy) and fetal growth restriction (baby being small) have twice the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes later in life, compared to women who have a healthy pregnancy. This study aims to assess risk factors for heart disease and diabetes in women who are actively trying to conceive, before and during their pregnancy, and 9-12 months after delivery of their baby, to see whether placental syndromes make a difference to their heart health. This will allow us to understand, if, and how, placental syndromes increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and, therefore, how best to reduce this risk and potentially prevent placental syndromes in the future. The investigators will also recruit women who are NOT planning pregnancy, as a control group.

This observational study aims to assess the performance of the software called ausculto™. ausculto™ is a collection of computer algorithms that intend to analyse heart sounds recorded from the built-in microphone of a smartphone for abnormal sounds. Participants will have their heart sounds recorded during their regular clinic appointment after consenting to participate in this study. Researchers will manually annotate the recorded heart sounds to create a database for use in future training and testing of artificial intelligence (AI) intended for medical uses.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of high-calorie density formula (HDF) and standard formula (SF) in infants with congenital heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there any difference in nutritional status between both groups after 3 months? Is there any difference in calorie intake per day between both groups during hospitalization? Is there any difference in clinical outcomes (mortality, duration of using mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and events of side effects) between both groups? A group of participants will be given HDF (1 kcal/ml) from enrollment until three months. Researchers will compare them to the group of participants who are given SF (0.67 kcal/ml) to see if there is any difference in nutritional status, calorie intake, and other clinical outcomes between the two groups.

Aim of the work: To describe the clinical patterns criteria of infants and children with cardiac disease admitted to PICU and their outcome.

To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of left atrial appendage in the prevention of thrombus in patients with valvular heart disease, to improve the product according to clinical conditions, to achieve clinically accurate treatment, and to establish the heart valve, the usefulness and universality of Warfarin's anticoagulant model were verified by the specimen library

This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing two groups of application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TxA) versus placebo in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), off pump coronary bypass graft cardiac surgery (OPCAB), and adult heart valve surgery. The primary outcomes of this study comprised of two parameters; post operative bleeding and blood product transfusion. The primary outcomes were assessed during the operation, until 48-hour post operative.

The goal of this observational study is to collect safety and performance information in the setting of a large-scale clinical registry. Patients meeting the selection criteria will be included, in chronological order of their implantation. This registry does not require any additional procedures, follow-up interventions, or ionizing radiation for patients. The inclusion period is planned to last 2 years, starting in Q1 2023. The study will be complete when data on all patient's follow-up for one year have been collected.

To investigate and evaluate the capacity of prenatal screening, diagnosis and counseling of congenital heart disease in medical institutions in China, in order to understand the current status and existing problems of prenatal prevention and treatment capacity of congenital heart disease in China, and to obtain corresponding baseline data, so as to provide scientific basis for further improving prenatal screening and diagnosis policies in China.

Aims. To describe a new conceptual framework and to test the effectiveness of a recorded music listening protocol on symptom burden and quality of life in heart failure patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether scaling and root planing as a periodontal intervention helps in improving the overall health of patients suffering from coronary heart disease.
