These information would be used to study the molecular, imaging and outcome studies of cardiovascular health and disease.
MRI of Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial InfarctionMyocardial Ischemia9 moreHeart failure (HF) is an enormous health burden affecting approximately 5.1 million people in the US and is the cause of 250,000 deaths each year. Approximately 50% of HF is caused by myocardial ischemia and requires immediate restoration of coronary blood flow to the affected myocardium. However, the success of reperfusion is partly limited by intramyocardial hemorrhage, which is the deposition of intravascular material into the myocardium. Hemorrhagic reperfusion injury has high prevalence and patients have a much greater risk of adverse left ventricular remodeling, risk of fatal arrhythmia, impaired systolic function and are hospitalized at a greater rate. Recent magnetic resonance imaging techniques have improved assessment of reperfusion injury, however, the association between MRI contrasts and reperfusion injury is highly unclear, and lacks specificity to IMH. Improved imaging of IMH and accurate knowledge about its spatial and temporal evolution may be essential for delivery of optimal medical therapy in patients and critical to identify patients most at risk for adverse ventricular remodeling. The overall goal is to investigate the magnetic properties of hemorrhage and develop MRI techniques with improved specificity to hemorrhage. New MRI techniques permit noninvasive assessment of the magnetic susceptibility of tissues and can target tissue iron. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that MRI imaging of myocardial magnetic susceptibility can map hemorrhagic myocardium. The investigators will perform a longitudinal observational study in patients after reperfusion injury to validate these methods, compare the methods with conventional MR contrasts and develop MR methods for imaging humans.
Frailty Syndrome in Daily Practice of Interventional Cardiology Ward
Frail Elderly SyndromeCoronary Heart Disease3 moreThe impact of frailty on immediate and long term outcomes of invasive treatment of coronary artery disease is not fully characterized. The assessment of frailty may help physicians in the selection of best treatment option and in the timing and modality of the follow-up. The FRAilty syndrome in daily Practice of Interventional CArdiology ward (FRAPICA) study is designed with the aim to validate the use of the Fried frailty scale and instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADL) as prognostic tools in patients admitted to hospital for symptomatic coronary artery disease, either stable, unstable, or acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The FRAPICA study is a single center prospective study enrolling patients aged ≥65 years. The aims are (1) to describe Fried frailty scale and IADL scale distribution before hospital discharge and (2) to investigate the prognostic role of Fried frailty and IADL scores. The outcomes are: (1) results of invasive treatment, (2) its complications (periinterventional MI, contrast-induced nephropathy, blood loss), (3) three-year all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, reintervention, heart failure, hospital readmission for any cause, and a composite of the above mentioned. Ancillary analyses will be focused on different clinical presentations, different tools to assess frailty and risk stratification. The FRAPICA program will fill critical gaps in the understanding of the relation between frailty, cardiovascular disease, interventional procedures and outcome. It will enable more personalized risk assessment and identification of new targets for interventions.
Registry of Multicenter Brain-Heart Comorbidity in China
Ischemic Heart DiseaseCardiac Arrest11 moreThis study is a multi-center, prospective, registry study. This research was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program. To establish a domestic multi-center, large-scale "brain-heart comorbidity" dynamic database platform including clinical, sample database, image and other multi-dimensional information requirements, through the construction of a multi-center intelligent scientific research integration platform based on artificial intelligence. Any of newly diagnosed cardiovascular related diseases were identified via ICD-10-CM codes: I21, I22, I24 (Ischaemic heart diseases) [i.e., ACS], I46 (cardiac arrest), I48 (Atrial fibrillation/flutter), I50 (Heart failure), I71 (Aortic disease), I60 (subarachnoid hemorrhage), I61 (intracerebral hemorrhage), I63 (Cerebral infarction), I65 (Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries), I66 (Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries), I67.1 (cerebral aneurysm), I67.5 (moyamoya diseases), Q28.2 (Arteriovenous malformation of cerebral vessels). The data is stored on the brain-heart comorbidity warehouse via a physical server at the institution's data centre or a virtual hosted appliance. The brain-heart comorbidity platform comprises of a series of these appliances connected into a multicenter network. This network can broadcast queries to each appliance. Results are subsequently collected and aggregated. Once the data is sent to the network, it is mapped to a standard and controlled set of clinical terminologies and undergoes a data quality assessment including 'data cleaning' that rejects records which do not meet the brain-heart comorbidity quality standards. The brain-heart comorbidity warehouse performs internal and extensive data quality assessment with every refresh based on conformance, completeness, and plausibility (http://10.100.101.65:30080/login).
