syncope/脳卒中

Systemic artery hypertension is a condition characterized by persistent high blood pressure (BP) in systemic arteries. Blood pressure is expressed as the rate of systolic BP (SBP) (pressure exerted by the blood on the arterial walls when the heart contracts) and diastolic BP (DBP) (pressure that

2. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 2.1. Study rationale and aim An excellent bowel preparation is crucial to perform a high-quality colonoscopy and essential to visualize the entire colonic mucosa and to increase the safety of therapeutic maneuvers. Prior studies revealed that inpatient setting was

The BIO|STREAM.ICM submodule will recruit a subset of patients with syncope with uncertain origin and cryptogenic stroke without history of atrial arrhythmia from the existing population enrolled in the BIO|STREAM.ICM registry. The submodule study is designed to provide clinical evidence from

In adults, the incidence of fractures increases with age. In predisposed individuals, even a minor trauma can result in a fracture. Such an injury is known as low-energy fracture or fragility fracture, and the risk increases with age. Fragility fractures may be preventable, either by changes in

Our project is based on implementation of a telemonitoring and case management BP program for remote dwellers with diabetes and CKD in remote regions of Alberta. Our aim is to determine the impact of the intervention on BP control and other CKD risk factors, achievement of guideline-concordant

There are an estimated 1.4 million people in the UK with atrial fibrillation (AF), which accounts for 2.4% of the adult population.1 It is well established that AF is a major causative factor for ischaemic stroke and systemic embolism.2 In addition, strokes resulting from AF carry the highest

IOH is a form of orthostatic intolerance defined by a transient decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 40mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 20mmHg within the first 15-30 seconds of assuming a standing position from a supine or seated position. IOH commonly occurs in teenagers and young

Introduction. Reflex syncope due to vasovagal reaction is the most frequent cause of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) in general population. [1-4] It markedly decreases quality of life and may lead to injury. [5, 6] The mechanism of vasovagal syncope (VVS) is complex. One of the most important

Background and Rationale for the Study: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common hereditary cardiac disease, affecting one in 500 individuals. The predominant cause is mutation of genes that encode protein components of the cardiac sarcomere. The mechanisms that lead from a sarcomere

Syncope is a condition that has vexed cardiologists worldwide due to its elusive nature. Often a third of patients with syncope remain undiagnosed despite assessments by multidisciplinary teams and the availability of various screening techniques such as electrocardiography, 24-h Holter monitoring,

Implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) is an invaluable tool for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmia (1). Cryptogenic stroke, unexplained syncope and arrhythmia diagnosis are the most common indication for long term cardiac monitoring device. (2, 3). Reveal LINQTM (Medtronic, Inc.) is widely used for all of

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.

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

Permanent pacemakers have sometimes been used to treat patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope. This is because patients with vasovagal syncope often experience bradycardia at the time of their syncope. Unfortunately, pacemakers are often ineffective in preventing syncope. Classical cardiovascular
