1. Overview of Takayasu's arteritis.
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory blood vessel that seriously endangers human health, which affects a large variety of blood vessels, characterized by vascular stenosis and occlusion. The clinical manifestations of TA are hypertension, renal
At Centro Hospitalar do Porto it is routinely used burr hole craniostomy with subdural drains and 48 hours of bed rest for the surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematomas. After 48 hours the subdural drains are removed and the patient is allowed to mobilize for the first time.
The aim of the
Large-scale use of acute coronary angiography has revealed a large portion of AMI without angiographically obstructive (defined as ≥50% diameter stenosis) coronary artery disease (CAD). The term "myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries" (MINOCA) has been coined for this entity.
Background: Chest pain is a key symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but can also represent other cardiac and non-cardiac diseases. Rapid identification of ACS in terms of 'rule-in' or 'rule-out' is essential in order to minimize treatment delay and time to discharge. In the absence of
Stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide, especially in the elderly population. Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke. Previous clinical trials have documented that blood pressure (BP) reduction lowers the risk of incident and recurrent stroke. The Secondary
The improvement of cardiac troponin assay techniques has increased its sensitivity to detect myocardial ischemic conditions, even at the expense of a loss of specificity. Myocardial infarction type 2 is due to an imbalance between needs and oxygen supply to cardiomyocytes at the time of an increase
Various investigators have shown that type 2 diabetes is associated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and mortality due sudden cardiac arrest [1,2]. In comparison to non-diabetic patients, those with T2DM possess greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and deaths, and are considerably influenced
The implantation of cardiac devices has been one of the common standard procedures in the cardiac clinical practice.
Pacemakers are implanted for patients with symptomatic bradyarrhythmias. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are implanted in order to avoid sudden cardiac death (SCD) in high
This is a cross-sectional study performed in a non-probabilistic sample for convenience, derived from information collected from medical records of the Medical Statistics Service. Data were obtained through clinical evaluation information and subsidiary examinations of 50 high performance field
The overall research goal for this study is to provide additional data to characterize the safety of naloxegol in the indicated population, grouped by cancer or non-cancer, and within at-risk vulnerable non-cancer populations identified in the naloxegol risk management plan (RMP) by describing type
This is an open-label single-dose study. Approximately 40 total subjects will be enrolled. In each of the 3 hepatic impairment groups (mild hepatic dysfunction [Child-Pugh score of 5 - 6], moderate hepatic dysfunction [Child-Pugh score of 7 - 9], severe hepatic dysfunction [Child Pugh score of 10 -
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common degenerative valve disease in the elderly, the prevalence is about 1-2% in the age group> 65 years and 4% in patients aged> 85. The natural history is characterized by a poor prognosis with a survival rate of 62% at 1 year, 32% at 5 years and 18% at 10 years
The study objectives are as follows:
- Track "real world" performance outcomes and physician experience using the CardioGenesis Laser System;
- Further define the disease characteristics of the population being treated;
- Examine transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) usage characteristics,
This current care protocol is for 3 groups of patients :
1. Role of mapping arrhythmias before radiofrequency ablation :
Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias resistant to drug treatment. The electrocardiogram does not allow a full diagnosis of arrhythmias and
