NCT00348829
The aim of the study is to evaluate hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters in patients with secondary mitral insufficiency and CHF. 1. Identification of hemodynamic parameters as predictor for a successful mitral valve reconstruction in CHF patients. 2. Collection of clinical factors for the assessment of the postoperative course after mitral valve reconstruction in CHF patient.
NCT02456467
This study compares the results of current standard coagulation measurement devices to the Quantra System, a new device, using small amount of extra blood obtained during routine blood draws in cardiac surgery patients.
NCT02946476
To better understand the public health prognostic impact of noncardiac chronic illnesses, we explored the attributable risk of noncardiac comorbidities on outcomes between heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) and heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in a large contemporary heart failure (HF) population The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and the population attributable risk were used to compare the contributions of 15 noncardiac comorbidities to adverse outcome. The comorbidities that contributed to high attributable risk were: anemia, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral artery disease. These findings were similar for HFrEF and HFpEF groups. Interaction analysis confirmed similar results.

Low and very low carbohydrate diets, such as the Atkins' Diet, have recently gained attention for their potential health benefits from weight loss and have gained some scientific support from a growing number of studies. Benefits have been noted in relation to raised "good" cholesterol, lower "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides. Other studies have shown an advantage in substituting vegetable fat for carbohydrate in insulin resistant individuals and in some instances in type 2 diabetes where improvements were seen in "good" cholesterol and blood sugars. At the same time, our research have been exploring diets containing less processed carbohydrates and other components which in combination (portfolio diet) have a similar cholesterol lowering effect to drug therapy. Therefore we wish to determine whether our cholesterol-lowering components (portfolio diet) should be incorporated into lower carbohydrate diets especially to preserve "good" cholesterol and lower "bad" cholesterol for decreasing the risk of heart disease.
