A randomized controlled pilot trial will be used to test the application-based support systems Lifepod®PAD that are developed in collaboration with Cross Technology Solutions based on results from our systematic review and previous research testing the Lifepod® system in patients with myocardial
EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND MAIN ASSUMPTIONS OF THE PROJECT.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication (IC), which is characterized by the occurrence of pain, cramps, numbness, and discomfort in the lower limb
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, clinical study examining predictors of clinical outcomes for patients undergoing PAD endovascular treatment. The study population will undergo lower extremity computed tomographic angiography (CTA )and endovascular intervention procedures. CT
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
Fifty out of 57 hemodialysis anemic patients were finally included. They were assigned to two groups of equal numbers. Oral Pentoxifylline 400mg once daily was added to the treatment group which was compared to the control group over a six months period regarding hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a burdensome condition that affects 10% of the population and increases to 15-20% among those ≥70 years. In PAD, the underlying pathophysiologic process, atherosclerosis, presents itself as blockages in patients' leg arteries that prevent adequate blood flow and
This study will require the PD subjects to attend three testing days, lasting approximately 1 hour. PD subjects will report for two exercise testing sessions, with each session separated by 7 days. The age-matched, healthy subjects will only be required to attend two testing days consisting of one

1. Methods of enrollment, including procedures for patient registration. Patients will be screened in the "Cardiac surgery pre-operative clinic", Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cox building floor 6 (before surgery). If the patient is eligible and after obtaining the
This is a multi-center, randomized, single-blinded, phase III, controlled trial investigating the safety and effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy with cilostazol 100 mg twice daily and aspirin 100 mg daily versus monotherapy with aspirin 100 mg daily in patients undergoing peripheral,
Study design
The MICOLON study is a prospective, single-centre, observational cohort study on the association between 5th generation high sensitive cardiac troponin T levels and non-cardiac outcome after major abdominal surgery in patients at risk for coronary artery disease.
Patient
Purposes Study part 1: Quantify the occurrence of risk factors of atherosclerosis among patients with very premature CAD in the Central Denmark Region and investigate to what degree patients are treated according to national guidelines.
Study part 2: Investigate the occurrence of CAD among
Determination of cardiovascular risk
If the assessment of cardiovascular risk remains incomplete, can identify indicators that measure risk:
1. Framingham Risk Score: Includes age, sex, total and HDL-CHOL, and levels of blood pressure (can underestimate the risk in some patients).
2. PROCAM Risk
The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common atherosclerotic disease manifestation and its prevalence increases with age and with the co-presence of cardiovascular risk factors. PAD affects a large proportion of the adult population, with an age-adjusted prevalence of 4-15% which increases to
Study population: subjects with a recent (<3 months) first VTE event will be enrolled for a long-term follow-up. Clinical visits will be performed every 4-6 months (average).
In each case, objective diagnosis has to be achieved by compression ultrasonography, the diagnosis being based on the lack of
Intermittent claudication (IC) is a common problem in the UK's elderly population with a prevalence of 5 -10%. Intermittent claudication infers significant quality of life limitations, however, it is a disease which generally runs a benign course with >80% of patients remaining stable. Yet the
